Went off to the cinema last night to see Marley & Me, it is a nice easy feel good movie that has many of the women in the audience going ahhh quite often. I must say, much to my surprise, I didn’t hate it. In fact I enjoyed the movie.
Marley and Me follows many traditional feel good movie lines, but it is acted and put together well. A story of life, getting older, dealing with dashed expectations, birth and death. There were quite a few hankies in view at one point. Over all I recommended for a feel good night out.
We went to cineworld as our friend have these unlimited cards – see as many movies as you like for one monthly price, we should do the same – but I suppose our commitment to any one cinema is not that strong.
Walking from there back down to the Liffey is horrible. The north side of the city is generally a dump and never feels safe – it is too easy to see the unsavoury side of Dublin north of the Liffey.
These streets are not well lit, a car had crashed in the Luas tram, and there is piss all over the streets. I have always been amazed at the piss on the streets of Dublin – it seems that it is quite normal for men generally to just piss on Dublin’s streets. It is disgusting, walking home after a good night out and trying to avoid the streams of piss on the streets – I have never seen the likes in any other city.
