Seamus Egan and Waking Ned Devine -- Wrong!

So my roommate and I watched Waking Ned Devine tonight. It was a lot of fun seeing this movie again. I can't believe it only made 24 million here in the U.S., though I suppose that's rather impressive seeing as it only cost 3 million to make (and that it also made over 6.6 million pounds in the UK).

I'm also delighted to learn that David Kelly, who played the plucked-chicken-looking, unbearably sweet Michael Sullivan, is going to play Grandpa Joe in the upcoming version of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. I am so excited to
see that movie; the original is one of my favorite movies of all time. Too bad the new one's not a musical though! Those are some of the best movie sing-alongs in the universe, along with films like The Sound of Music and Grease.

And whoever said, on the webpage about the soundtrack, that Seamus Egan made a cameo in this movie (playing the flute at the funeral and the bodhran in the pub) was wrong!! My roommate and I took a good, long look, and I'm certain it wasn't him. I actually would have preferred it be him, but oh well. I'll just have to wait until that movie American Wake finally becomes available. He's got a real part in that one.
