Philip,
Good to see they’re all still attending cocktail parties!
What about a movie on Anglo. some of the 46 could play cameo roles
@jl
Brilliant!
What about it BL, do you fancy playing BL or BL?
Who do you suggest for Sean Fitzpatrick?
Who would want to play Brian Cowen?
Could be a moneyspinner for RTE Drama….increased exports etc
if we could boil the 46 down to 7 we could do a remake of the magnificent 7 with KW as Yul Brynner & Lucey as Steve MCqueen. Problem is 4 of them always get killed.
@jl
if we could boil the 46 down
I am sure there are more than a few current and past politicians wishing just that.
Some of the seven were Baddies anyway, so we could deceive some of the Namaites into joining the set.
Maybe “The Good the Bad and the Ugly” would be a better model.
@Philip
Thanks for this post…at last, a chance for a bit of craic
@jl
Think I have it…
What about Nama- The Indecent Proposal
Who could we get for the Demi Moore role…..Umm
Well, there has to be a least one transvestite Deputy out there
I was thinking more along the lines of ‘Gone With The Wind’.
Why cant we play ourselves? I mean, we are accused of playing with outselves regularly by the politicians (latest was friday, on I think newstalk, where BLenihan referred to “illinformed academic commentators”).
As for the magnficent 7 ; some were broke gamblers, some enlisted under false pretences, some went ” for the crack” and some were under false flags!
Names on a postcard please.
Other moviev titles which we could remake on NAMA include
Dirty Rotten Scoundrels
National Treasure : Book of Secrets
Intolerance
Gone with the Wind
@BL – you were also dismissed as ‘opinionated lecturers’ yesterday by some fella called Collins… in an, em, opinion piece on the, err, Opinion page of the IT… There’s opinions and opinions, eh? Keep working at it…
Inglorious Bankers . action packed with bailouts .
Saving Private Lenihan . Lenihan and his unit are hopelessly surrounded and down to their last 100 billion . A Aherne for Toms Hanks role and the Germans could be played by the 46 .
Okay it was a Tv series rather than a movie, but how about
“Takin’ Over the Asylum”
@Brian Lucey
I like National Treasure : Book of Secrets.
Then of course, there is the more recent Tom Hanks, Paul Newman movie to have a play on
Nama – The Road to Perdition
Skepsis
I am
a) from kerry
b) an academic
c) tenured
….of course I am opinionated…:)
If we are talking about bailouts, how about……….
Titanic ?
Tres apt?
How about : “Die Hard… With a Pension”
I can’t honestly see such a shy and retiring type like Roubini having anything to do with this project.
A few more; that seem to sum things up:
Field(s) of Dreams
The Apartment
West Side (of the M50) Story
Traffic
Taxi Driver
A View to A Kill
The Usual Suspects
Karlito’s Way
