What I’d Like to See #1
What I’d like to see is a movie about the Irish Potato Famine of the mid-nineteenth century: the one that wiped out nearly a quarter of the country’s population. I know that may sound like a tearjerker in the making but it all depends on the treatment. A good director like Brett Ratner could mine that catastrophe for both sexy and hilarious results, crafting a comedic romp with verve, heart and dead Irish people to spare. And, who knows: maybe if more of us understood the plight of the Irish we wouldn’t throw bricks through the windows of their businesses. I know I wouldn’t. But that’s me and I’m not the one who got screwed over real bad by an Irish girl whose parents own a pub with real big windows. That’d be my cousin Josh.
