Discussion of incompleted text

[edit]

can the synopsis use the word 'incomplete' any more? maybe as a verb? i have a hard time believing this is uncounsciously done as brain damaged writing. bad writing , yes. as it seems someone is unable of confirming the presence of an idee-fixe or liet motif without constantly using repetition.

Wow, there are a ridiculous number of 'incomplete's there. I am surprised that the author didn't try to use the verb incompleted, not that it exists but it seems it would fit in nicely with the number of incompletes here. ~ SW 23:39, 15 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

The synopsis is dire

[edit]

The synopsis reads like an ad. It's barely a spoiler at all, it doesn't say how anything ends, just that all endings are either funny, surprising, or unexpected - but nothing about how, why, or what the endings of each thread are. Gronky 23:26, 2 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

John Crowley directed and Mark O’Rowe wrote the screenplay for this movie, set in Dublin, Ireland, consisting of entirely homegrown actors on their home turf.

Neither Shirley Henderson nor Kelly McDonald are Irish.

I agree. I added a spam tag but it's not the one I wanted. There is one that says something like "this article reads too much like a commercial advertisement", but I can't find it. Feel free to fix this. Farannan 13:05, 5 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The synopsis reads like a secondary school film review; one that'd probably receive a failing grade, at that.

Budget for the film?

[edit]

It's rather odd that the budget for the film states as IR£5 million, although the Irish pound was no longer the currency of Ireland when the film was made (the Euro was). Xen 1986 16:01, 26 June 2008 (UTC)

20 metres?

[edit]
"In the biggest single stunt ever filmed in Ireland, a double-decker bus was flipped 20 metres into the air."
- I don't know how to quantify the size of a "stunt". How is it the biggest?
- The claim of 20 metres is highly unlikely. The General Post Office in Dublin is 15 metres high. I doubt they achieved this height with a double decker Dublin Bus.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Larryone (talkcontribs) 16:01, 21 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
