Banshees is very different but it's the same main cast, writer and director.

Being kicked out of a pub is a very rare and serious offense. The ones who start a fight, smash bottles everywhere and get taken to jail on Saturday night are always welcome back the next weekend. He must have really upset someone to be banned.

Please post whatever you find.

Not me, but my brothers have. I love my family but try to leave before the party gets to the smashing whiskey bottles stage. Years ago, I banned whiskey from my house parties because I was afraid they were going to burn my house down. It was 4th of July and they were shooting bottle rockets at each other. My furnace was in the attic and the fireworks were landing on the roof and exploding. They can have all the beer they want, but that firewater brings out the wild nature of the Irishman.

Sounds like your family and my father's family would get along! Strong Irish roots.

I watch very few movies, but these sound very like movies I am going to watch. Jen, you are like my window to the real world sometimes. I don'****ch TV much, don't read the paper and pick up most of what's happening from the news on my MSN homepage.

My great grandfather was born on Inishenin and lately I have had a feeling that I want to go and visit his birthplace. My family is almost all in Mayo and Galway and it a quick boat ride from Galway. Seeing that this movie exists (I admit I live in a vacuum) makes me more curious about the Aran Islands. But will start with watching the movie.

you should go! I made a vow a year or so ago that I was going to visit all the places where my great grandparents were born before I die. Did Scotland last summer (two of them born here). Hope to do Sweden this coming summer (four of them). Last is Romania (two of them) - probably should wait until the war in Ukraine is over since the town they're from is near the border - plus if I do one big trip a year, it'll be a couple of years regardless...

I bet it's a great way to connect with your history. The time I spent in Ireland, Scotland, and England was good for that, even if there weren't individual houses I knew to see.
