I am in the office and I am making one now.

A very solid week indeed.

Oh I may have to watch something later.

Adore Good Vibrations.

It looks absolutely tremendous. Feels influential as well. The POV effects echo Predator, the vast space the Five Points set in Gangs of New York. Just great, offbeat direction from Wadleigh too, allows the film to breathe.

Wolfen: Finney is great in this odd hybrid of New Hollywood paranoid thriller, police procedural and a look at the horrors borne of gentrification. A stellar support cast (Noonan, Venora, Haynes) add so much. The city as decrepit character. Pace falters a touch in the final act but I loved this.

Tom Noonan! With hair!

Cackling. Deeply unserious sport.

Hahaha.

Part of me is still watching that...film.

Hahaha.

This could be the new TV show according to reviews, or The Bear, which has one of the worst performances I have ever witnessed in it.

I have seen all of these and second the recommendation. The best to ever do it.

I remember this!

I don't want to appear better than you all (I totally am) but I never really noticed nor cared if people blocked me. Still don't.

Got a ticket to First Aid Kit in the Royal Albert Hall in September. Delighted.

Give me a shout!

Good stuff!

Odd Irish Times headline: Luas burnt out during Dublin riots arrives home after €5m repairs in France

This seems like such an odd way to put this.

Eels PS You Rock My World this morning. What a fucking song.

Absolute Power: A terrific opening is never bettered and the first half is a beautifully paced prestige thriller, with a great cast bringing to life a smart and deadpan script. A pity then that it becomes increasingly silly right up to it's ludicrous ending but there is a lot of fun to be had.

This is a great article by my friend Ronan.
