LAST NIGHT WASN’T a regular Wednesday night, of course. It was the night before Paddy’s Day, and RTÉ made the best call in the history of The Midweek Movie:
They stuck Michael Collins on and the whole country watched.
1. And even though we’ve all seen it so many times, the reactions were still brilliant
Whoops!
We couldn't find this Tweet
2. Some lamented just how much they are flogging the Taken franchise at this stage
3. We cut through the bull and called it like it is
Whoops!
We couldn't find this Tweet
4. There were, of course, comments on the accents
Whoops!
We couldn't find this Tweet
“Wojus.” YES.
5. People were worried about Kitty Kiernan’s employment status
What was she doing with her time at all?
6. There were accusations of inaccuracies
Whoops!
We couldn't find this Tweet
7. And a great sense of just how far we’ve come since those days
8. Imagine The Big Fellow himself in the recent election
9. There was in-depth Irish analysis on the major plot points
10. And half the country were trying to spot themselves in the background
11. Comments about the lack of accuracy never really went away
Whoops!
We couldn't find this Tweet
12. All at once, the nation said the same thing
13. RTÉ had their reasons to show it, though
14. And finally… it was nice to get our, eh, fairytale ending
Whoops!

The sarcasm was strong last night.
Well done, everyone.
