Black Irish (2007)

IMDB: Black Irish

Basic Plot:  The inner workings and actions of a truly dysfunctional family in South Boston.

Outburst:  This movie made me think there must be a better way to structure families in general.  The traditional nuclear family with two parents and a horde of kids only works for the Brady Bunch (and see how they really turned out offscreen).   It just seems to crack under stress when you add in outside influences, illness, disaster, financial difficulties, volatile tempers, or alcohol abuse, let alone any combination of those things.

 — A good film, it might make you cry.

Re: Your comment: It reads like the comment of someone who has never raised a kid to adulthood. Some of my friends boast of their single parenthood.

I look at them and I think, “What an unoriginal way to wreck two peoples’ lives.”

I can’t recall ever having met a child or an adult who said to me, directly or indirectly, “I really hate the idea that I knew who both my parents were and, worse yet, that they stuck by me for all those years.” Not ever.

My point was traditional nucleur families tend to fail. If you happen to know a majority of folks who experience strong, happy, healthy family lives, kudos to you!

As an aside, you now know the first person who can honestly say that despite my parents’ good intentions, the best thing they could have done for me probably would have been to give me up for adoption to folks better trained as parents.

How are you, I was surfing the web and I got to your page from yahoo. I read a couple of your posts and thought they were awesome. Thank you, I will come back to your site again soon.

Only another 50 percent the post is displaying, strange, is this my net browser or the website?

It truly is rare to encounter a professional in whom you may have some confidence. In the world at present, nobody genuinely cares about showing others the answer in this issue. How lucky I am to have actually found a wonderful web-site as this. It’s people like you that make a real difference in this world through the suggestions they discuss.

Heyo, I actually have a weblog in addition, but it’s overrun with spam. Your website seems to be decently freed from that garbage. What does one use to remove it?

one goes through by hand, in my case I like to take the complements of spambots, strip it of all links (so they get nothing in return) and post them as if the bots were real so I get the benefit of many comments from different sources and a nice little google boost

you get NOTHING muahahahahaha

I own a number of web sites which encompass blogs, article directories, and also internet directories. I am curious on whether you have an interest in exchanging hyperlinks with my other websites. I would be more than happy in the event you can approve this comment and let me know the hyperlinks that you really want me to insert into my web site, and I will comply. Sorry my language not very good. Let me know.

As an amateur writer from Canada, I seldom come across really quality publications like your blog which really helps me inspirationally. It shows me what excellent articles are all about. There are lots of poor writings on the web and its quite sad. Thank you for your well written posts! I frequently read your blog and enjoy the content you share. I look forward to more of your work.

I do agree with all of the ideas you’ve presented in your post. They are very convincing and will certainly work. Still, the posts are too short for novices. Could you please extend them a little from next time? Thanks for the post.

not a chance, it would defeat the purpose of this site

#15 Tommie Pendley on 09.24.11 at 23:13

Hey, you used to write magnificent, but the last several posts have been kinda boring… I miss your tremendous writings. Past few posts are just a little bit out of track! come on!

#16 Horacio Sippy on 09.27.11 at 14:49

Rather than produce the same old content you have taken this subject to a whole new level . Kudos for not following the standard writing crowd.

#17 Alisea on 09.27.11 at 23:04
