25 Words Or Less - XXY

Slow and painstakingly revealing and very much an acquired taste which is good for me! Great cast and the perfect comedown for a Sunday evening…

(And yes, I am aware the trailer is in Spanish but it was the only one I could find and I’d rather not ruin too much of the plot for you if you don’t know it already thank you!!!)

“I Need You Sooooo Bad…”

I wonder how many of us would stand the scrutiny of having our most private texts read out like this….?

Iron Man - The Epilogue…

Jesus.

Now I wish I stayed til the end of the credits the way I used to in the old days!!!!

Check it out on this Japanese site if that’s been pulled…

Insert Punchline Here…

My second favourite BBC headline of the day…

“Frigid Robot Eyes Top Tech Prize…”

Stop!

The Lighthouse

Finally made it to the new Lighthouse on Sunday!!!!! And what a glory of nature it is too so I got my design geek and my movie geek fixes all in one…

 

 

Like what’s on at the moment. Started with XXY. Very strange but my speed nonetheless. (Note to self - must review it later)

 

 

Then just wandered around for a while taking furtive snaps in case someone gave out to me, something of which I’m frequently afraid in life.

 

It’s very, very different from the old Lighthouse, obviously but it was always going to be. The building itself is glorious and, like the TARDIS, much bigger on the inside than it appears to be on the outside. I’m hoping that nickname will stick. As long as the programming spirit stays the same that’s good enough for me.

I know it’s a short trip out from town (and a bus and a LUAS from where I am) but I’m determined to make the effort on an ongoing basis. There are few anough new cinemas being opened in Ireland these days, those dedicated to showing more than the same 8 movies that are showing everywhere else are very rare indeed and thus need our effort to be nurtured.

Just a quick one lads. All you need to do to make me extremely happy is start showing the occasional oldie. You know what I mean - Touch Of Evil, Sullivan’s Travels, Easter Parade, Playtime, Ace In The Hole, some Hitchcock, maybe Lawrence Of Arabia? That sort of thing

Microwaves ‘cook ballast aliens’

Unfortunately the story is slightly less interesting than the headline would have us believe…

Rock AND Roll…

An entertaining press release?

Nah… Well it made me smile

The Pigeon Detectives have been forced to cancel their two Irish shows this week at Dublin’s Ambassador (Tuesday 13th) and Belfast’s Mandela Hall (Wednesday 14th).

A statement from the band reads:

The Pigeon Detectives have been forced to cancel 2 shows in Ireland this week due to singer Matt Bowman injuring himself on stage yesterday (Sunday 11th May) at Radio 1’s Big Weekend in Maidstone.

Bowman badly injured his leg in the fourth song but continued to leap off the stage & scissor kick into the air off the drum kit until he collapsed. He managed to finish the set before being taken to hospital where they initially wanted to operate immediately, however after further advice he was transferred to Leeds where he is currently being treated. The band are now waiting anxiously to hear whether any more dates on their UK tour will have to be delayed, doctors are expected to have more news later today. They are due to kick off the mainland leg of the shows on Friday in Glasgow.

The band are looking to reschedule the Irish dates (13th May - Dublin, Ambassador Theatre / 14th May - Belfast, Mandela Hall) and profusely apologise to their fans who had bought tickets.

The irony of the fact the band were performing their new single (released today) ‘This Is An Emergency’ on stage, and then Matt had to leave the site by ambulance has not been lost on anybody…

This Week’s Chosen One…

I absolutely LOVE this song…

The Dark Knight…

I couldn’t just show you this on a Youtube link, it just wouldn’t do it justice…

It’s blisteringly brilliant; if the film is half as good it’ll be THE Summer blockbuster of 2008 by a long chalk. Not that we expected anything different

This is the hi-def link for the new Dark Knight trailer:

They’re using Francis Bacon to shill Arnotts! In the window! Jackson Pollock too! Lads. Seriously. Have you no souls?!?!?!?!?

Word…

I really should have nothing to do with this site. I turn 35 on Wednesday for Christ sake. Its world and mine should have nothing to do with each other (apart from being dragged (ahem….) into the George Bernard Shaw periodically.

Yet I like it

WTF?????

http://breakingnews.iol.ie/entertainment/story.asp?j=208928180&p=zx89z876x

No. There’s something very wrong with the world if that little nugget makes news anywhere…

No, I have no idea why it’s there either…

La Guerre Des Etoiles…

I just think these are incredible. French photographer Cedric Delsaux has taken Star Wars characters and put them in contemporary Parisian settings. There’s something magical about it…

25 Words Or Less - Iron Man

No Batman Begins certainly, but worth 100 Fantastic Fours. Surprisingly funny and reminds us why we loved Robert Downey Jr in the first place. Cool.
