can't believe they actually filmed finnegans wake.

only passages from it, not the whole thing, but still.

it is one of the hardest books of all time to even READ, let alone film.

what's interesting about it is that when i read it now i find what seem to be irish slang words that have only come into use recently, i would be very surprised if they were in use back when joyce was writing it.
