#DIFF2025 Dispatch - Ross Whittaker's doc Beat The Lotto is a fun caper, but it does also pose the question of exactly who has who's number. Our review: filmindublin.ie/2025/02/27/w...

Beat The Lotto is definitely a fun yarn but also its central question "is being a cute hoor good, actually?" is a rake that Ireland has walked into repeatedly filmindublin.ie/2025/02/27/w...

Just did everyone’s favourite thing: awkwardly shepherded fifty 12 year olds onto a Luas. People clapped, a few cheered, one old man shed a tear. “You’ve made my day,” a man in a suit and tie said, taking his Bluetooth earpiece out in a mark of respect. I am nothing if not a friend to commuters

In the new episode of Severance, Christopher Walken’s outie husband is played by the guy who plays Denethor in Lord of the Rings and even though he’s a completely different character, he still has the energy of a guy who eats tomatoes weird

This will look especially bad after the election cycle. Martin and Co. are willing to let fascists and demagogues spit in their face and thank them for it, but if their own electorate ask them to make the bare minimum of societal improvements they can only respond with petulance and indignation

The wife-to-be got me this absolutely stunning Gretsch for the 30th, and later this morning I get to see Buster Keaton’s One Week on the big screen. Big day.

This evening I hosted the Director Q&A for the wonderful film Sister Midnight as part of Dublin Film Festival 2025 and, as part of the fit, the best scarf in cinema not worn by Miranda Priestly @filmindublin.bsky.social

The online/offline disconnect about the degree of evil in society is stark right now. “God that Elon Musk is some eejit, isn’t he?” “He’s a Nazi freak who’s driving millions into poverty so that he can gain enough power to make it illegal not to laugh at his jokes.” “…a bit weird-looking too..”

Lola Petticrew’s speech at the IFTAs is actually gobsmacking. You forget at times just how effective it is when a public person with an actual moral compass speaks out against injustice, both in their own back yard and abroad. Hope she becomes a massive star the legend

People with enough money to never work a day in their lives preaching to the working class that instead of continuing to demand education & opportunities be made more accessible to them, they should cheat their way to the top using the most laughably inconsistent technology of the modern era

It’s v funny watching Saturday Night and thinking “Corey Michael smith makes Chevy chase almost likeable” and then watching Memoirs of an Invisible Man and the first Carpenter interview you read is him saying “Chevy Chase is the devil incarnate and I will hate him forever”

I’m so damn mad I literally did a 2025 predictions list that I never posted and eventually deleted and one of them was “Democratic congressman gets dogpiled for tweeting about SNL50 during a Trump-made crisis”

One of the many, many things I can’t bear about SNL is the endless whining from its writers and cast about how hard it is to produce a 90-minute show every week from scratch. NO ONE FUCKING ASKED YOU TO. THAT WAS YOUR IDEA. OMG, SHUT UP.

Real images have never been fully able to capture the real-life beauty of a place like Newgrange, so of course a large cabal of profoundly incurious losers use AI to make their own versions of places that they want to talk about intelligently but never go to.

First they came for @ronronzo.bsky.social, and I didn’t speak up cause I didn’t drink Buckfast. Next they came for @saoirsemc.bsky.social and I didn’t speak up cause I didn’t have a library card. Who will they come for next?

Local florists is also the post office and as I’m queuing, 2 lads meet at the door. First says, “Buying V day flowers, ya sap!” Second replies, embarrassed, “Only posting me letters!” & hurries off. First fella joins the queue and sniggers to himself “No one to be buying em for, ya unloved bastard.”
