I had been to O’Malley’s a few times in my old Femme Fianna Dockyard Derby Dames days. It was always late at night, dark, crowded, and reeked of beer and sweat. I loved it. The best throw downs, punk bands and bartenders have graced O’Malley’s soil during the after dinner

Movies based on books should always tell their stories without the presumption that all audience members have read the book that inspired it.
