ANOTHER JOE DUFFY SHOW!

Where some guy slates Irish theatre for not reflecting the current economy at this year's Fringe Festival. So no guessing what I'll say next! It's the exact same with our cinema. Tools making rubbish horror films while a generation emigrate or live in negative equity. People distanced from reality or too trained to bother making social realism. People making technical crap and hoping to win awards while ignoring the real stories that don't need to be adapted from novels or plays. People standing on stage at the IFTAs wearing a tux and smirking because they play into the system without challenging it. Twenty years from now when others look back on this recession and try and see what stories our filmmakers were telling they will piss themselves laughing how out of touch our film 'artists' were.
