it is cool when you see a place you recognise in movies.  it sort of gives a
rush doesnt it? whenever i see an irish movie i almost alwyas know all the
Dublin locations.  and have actually lived in some of them.
but parts of  a recent movie called Saltwater, starring Brendan Gleeson,
were filmed in teh secondary school which i attended.  it was filme while i
was there, and many of the extras are people i recognise.  the writer Conor
McPherson (he wrote I Went Down, i think) is a former student in that
school.  coincidently he is also went ot the same university as me.
this same thing happens especiallay whenever i see any of those Roddy Doyle
films -Commitments, Snapper, and The Van.  they were al filmed pretty near
to where i live, and friends of mine actually appear in some scenes!  it's a
strange experience isnt it Vince?
