“It’s ride, Sally, ride! Not royide, Sally, royide!”
My iPod threw up Mustang Sally this morning, which of course made me think of The Commitments. It’s a fantastic film, in bits, but the main problem with it is the character of Jimmy who is so irritating that you just want to drown him in the bath. If you can watch it with gritting your teeth every time Jimmy opens his mouth, then you’re in for some real treats i.e. Colm Meeney’s performance as the dad during the audition scene and Glen Hansard’s famous “Fuck me! I’ve just seen Imelda Quirke’s arse coming over that hedge!”
