Review: Rise of the Planet of the Apes

Charlton Heston Not Included

Apes eatin' biscuits, ridin' horses and beatin' up polis. Quality entertainment, if you're into that sort of thing.

You're very funny! Haven't seen it yet but intend to and to be very entertained... By the way, the phrase in one of your posts from a while ago still makes me laugh. 'I was like a dog with two mickeys, I knew it was disgusting but I couldn't help myself'... Genius! Did you make that up yourself?

i didn't coin the phrase, Driscoldy, i think i heard it from my mam but she'd kill me for saying that. it's a common Dublin one, as far as i know.

Oh brilliant, I'd never heard it before so it was a treat!

i did a quick google to reassure myself that everyone else uses it too and it would appear that they don't (or if they do, they don't use it on the internet).

i did, however, find the phrase "she went at me mickey like a dog eatin' a bag of hot chips" (thanks, boards.ie!) which made the googling feel like time well spent.

Thank You said...

I've seen the film. It was quite nice. One of the best films this year. But you have to acknowledge that there haven't been any good films in theatres this year. So this was the best so far! But I wouldn't recommend to see it in German as the voices don't sound quite the same! ;)

Thank you, Thank You.

Agreed. Roll on the follyer-upper.

how about "a dog with a belly full of piss, and a street full of lamp-posts". My dad used that one.
