A new sign for The Lighthouse cinema in Smithfield, Dublin.

Fair play though, in fairness.

    I don’t mind taking responsibility – as I sent this in.
    If you know the history of The Lighthouse, you may not see this sign as so lame. The Lighthouse is a wee bit of an institution in Dublin 1, from it’s birth in Middle Abbey St. and various ventures thereafter, good and bad. The fact that a flashy new sign is up at it’s now secured home, still in D1 I’m glad to say, is a bit of a cine-crowd-pleaser and a rubber-stamping that it’s there to stay.

Why do articles always say “Fair play though, in fairness.”? It’s s**t.

Outlets with a constant demand for entertainment usually rely too much on the comedy of repetition. They’ve got to keep the furnace fed. Sometimes what they’re shovelling only looks like coal.

I give it a week before it’s graffitied to bits and covered in missing cat pictures.

It looks lovely, and perhaps well needed. Its not exactly a cinema you’d stumble across but its a gem of a place. Good luck to then.

Considering this place was on the brink of closing down during a recession, I’d say this is doing pretty well, big up!!
