The Commitments (1991). Jimmy Rabbitte, an unemployed Dublin boy, decides to put together a soul band made up entirely of the Irish working class.

Soul music and Irish folk meet surprisingly well in this film about class, hope and Ireland. It very much sets the stage (pun intended!) for an entire subgenre of cinema, and as it often goes in those cases, you have to try and place it in time and context to avoid the feeling that you’ve seen it before. Great performances, great pacing, but I wish we’d gotten to know everyone a bit better. 7/10.

@just-mebs you are VERY close. Definitely the Icey part. On any given day my boy Johnny smells like a combination of candy, blood, and peanut butter.

Then I get reminded all over all over again of this hottie and I simultaneouly notice how he resembles a friend who disappeared from my life and I wonder if I might not have been a little bit in love.
