St. Patrick’s Day can be seen in one of two ways: either it’s a glorious celebration body piercing of our nation’s body piercing connection to and history with Ireland, or it’s body piercing a terrible excuse for binge alcoholics to practice while wearing green and watching a parade. If you’re looking body piercing to drown out the bagpipes and the sounds of the Dropkick Murphys, avoid all that Irish nonsense (thanks, 30 Rock ) with these five Netflix choices that will bring laughter and maybe tears in equal Irish measure. Check them out after the jump, and follow the title links to watch them right now.
On paper, In Bruges sounds like a bad Quentin Tarantino body piercing ripoff from 1996 two Irish hitmen on the lam (Colin Farrell, Brendan Gleeson) hide out for a weekend in the small medieval Belgian city of Bruges but what genius Irish playwright and debut filmmaker Martin McDonagh does with that set up is explore the very nature of life, death, and morality itself. Between the violence and profane laughter, we’re watching a man who wants to die realizing that, perhaps, he wants want to live. There’s also an amazing comic role for Ralph Fiennes, too. In Bruges basically body piercing pulls off the move that True Detective ‘s Nic Pizzolatto was going for in the much-discussed finale.
