Very surprised the guardian has taken this seriously - that's usually for the torygraph.

A stupid article about a silly comment made about a stupid film.
I'm disappointed to hear that Fitzgerald liked the film but pleased that he retained his sense of humour.

Bit rich considering it was a FG propaganda piece, or at least anti FF.

While it was certainly anti FF I think it was so bad that it couldn't be seen as pro FG.
I found it almost comical at times.

Honest to God Jordans obviously got zero sense of humour.

Edited to add its a truly epically awful film

We should be thankful it wasn't getting made today... Flatley would probably make a cameo.

Was it Bugs Bunny or Daffy Duck that was supposed to make the payment ?

If that's the most newsworthy tidbit from the autobiography then I guess he's not telling much....
