Too Much!

Possibly NSFW (especially if you have even a modicum of taste)

They Forgot To Bring The Funny

Nothing worse than when people who are generally good at the jokes do a not-so-great one, eh? Oh wait, this is worse - when they're doing it about us...that should make it 110% more funny! After all, we live in a pretty hilarious country. But this one just misses the mark for our money. Disappointment stings.

Corey Haim RIP

He was always our favourite Corey. Of the two, that is.

Time for a Lost Boys / Prayer of the Rollerboys /Licence to Drive Betamax marathon, wethinks.

Centra Sushi

Things we didn't do last Saturday night

Nerd Crush

Things Can Only Get Better

Brian Cox is not only an excitable brainbox physicist, he's also the host of BBC's new Sunday night show about space, AND he used to be in D:Ream.

That all adds up to one heck of a Dubliner Mancrush.

Procrastination

But where's Facebook?

This took us about three days to put up... after smoking a cigarette, staring in the mirror for three hours and scratching our bottom.

Style Like You Mean It

Fashion people wanted
 

Do you like fashion? Oh good, I'm glad. TV3 and Toto Productions are looking for people who like fashion for their new show Style Wars. Pictured above is tough as nails judge Caprice.

Details here, but hurry, you've only got until March 12th!

Thursday Treat

It really is the little things

The best thing about Thursdays is the gig announcements online and in the grown-up newspapers. Today alone, we have learned:

- The Cranberries are playing the Marquee in Cork this summer. Dreams really do come true.

- Macca's coming backa to Dublin. Ok, we knew that yesterday, but it's still nice to see it in print. We heart Macca - especially the bonkers 80s stuff.

And, BEST OF ALL:

- Friend of the Dubliner James O'Neill (that's him above!) brings his lovely/too hot for tv group Bitches With Wolves to the Academy 2 for three dates next month. Details and tunes on their MySpace. Yes, people still use MySpace.

Jameson Dublin International Film Festival

The Jameson Dublin International Film Festival had cinemas buzzing for the last ten days as their most ambitious program to date played out on Dublin's big screens. The opening event, the European premiere of Ondine - Neil Jordan's collaboration with Colin Farrell - turned into a huge party for the Irish film industry and began a relentless calendar of must-see movies. Highlights included a screening of Werner Herzog's Bad Lieutenant, a tribute to Kristin Scott Thomas and the premiere of Irish director Conor Horgan's first feature One Hundred Mornings.
