Well; I've Finally Seen .....

" Snatch ". What can I say? Yeppers; Brilliant film. I love that 'freeze frame on a frozen expression ' form of direction. I'm now totally at home with Brad Pitt ~ it's that other lemon that gets on my nerves. What's his bloody name now? Sean Penn! Can't stand him. Tries to pull off every facial expression Bob de Nero uses; All five of them!

Anyway, as the last guy over fifteen years of age not to have seen it; I have now. You all have, so I won't bore ye with my opinion. Nor do I fancy myself as a film critic. Just to say that, when the Dog ate that toy? I was in fuckin' tears! I think it about hit me then, that this was meant to be a hilariously funny film; And it had just become one.

In fact, I think the Dog was my favourite character! When they were all in that room together, just before / after the diamond vanished, and the Dog got excited and started jumping about, biting everyone ..... I'm laughing like a cunt now, just thinking of it! :D Just So sums up what I like in a Dog! Bless him!

All in all? Bloody good film. One I'd be more than happy to see a second time round. And it also confirmed my own, strong suspicion; That it was the root source of so many long since pronounced fucking Brain Dead's coming out of the wood work to utter, " Do ye like Dags? ", every time Gypsys are mentioned!

In fact, just to clear something up here, before I go: What Brad and the boys were 'speaking' in that film was not " Gypsy ", " Pikey ", " Irish 'Pikey' " or anything else remotely related. Ok? English Gypsys speak a mixture of every day words, mixed together with some Romany words.

Granted, they may mumble it, in your presence. They may actually have broad accents from their home county. They may also tend to speak so damn fast ye couldn't catch half of it, no matter what. But, That wasn't it.

Irish Gypsys speak a form of Gaelic which you and I would find incomprehensible, regardless. " Mickey " and his mates weren't speaking anything like Gaelic.

No. Just as I once saw on an old episode of " The Sweeney ", when Regan and Carter tried to interrogate some english Gypsys; The guys portraying the Gypsys just spoke utter, ad libbed bollocks! It was fascinating to listen to! LOL!

I'm quite sure " Snatch " used an Irish based 'accent' and they had to each have a clue what the other was saying, because they so often repeated it in unison. But, it was Still bollocks. Not 'Gypsy Language' ;-)
