An Allawite tyrant, Assad,
Who was generally seen as a cad,
Found a solution,
To his revolution,
“Ignore it. It’s only a fad.”

A child-friendly short by artists Samuel Borkson and Arturo Sandoval III of Friends With You, which, they say:
…explores animism, giving the main cast of characters a soul. The purpose of the piece is to transcend the viewer to a peaceful and joyous state. Clouds singing and performing their duties in a joyful manner show us that everything in our world has a role and a purpose.
Mmf.
Everything’s going to be all right, isn’t it?
It’s not about you.
Oh, nevermind.
Thanks Cathal McMahon
An insanely ultra-realistic 1/16th scale TDKR Batman/Christian Bale figurine from Hot Toys.
Interchangeable heads/chins, hands and weapons, 32 points of articulation and a pre-order price of $240. Available later this year.
It’ll go nicely with the Heath Ledger/Joker figurine you’ve already bought from these people.

What you may need to know.
1. Daniel Craig’s first Bond flick, Casino Royale (2006), was superb.
2. Daniel Craig’s second Bond flick, Quantum Of Solace (2008), was rubbish. They blame this on the 2007/08 Hollywood Writer’s Strike of 2007/08.
3. Skyfall is directed by Sam Mendes. Fact: no American has ever directed a Bond flick. Chris Nolan says he’d like to do one. Snap him up.
4. The cast includes Ralph Fiennes, Javier Bardem, Albert Finney and Ben Whishaw as Q.
5. The script was co-written by Patrick Marber. You might know him better as Peter O’Hanrahanrahan.
6. If they can’t get Adele to do the theme tune, they’re in trouble.
Release date (Ireland): November 9.

Module 1:
1. Some people are upset Prof Mark Ferguson has been entrusted with distributing €150 million of taxpayers’ cash with such an interesting recent business past.
2. Academics are upset Prof Ferguson has changed the criteria for deciding who gets how much cash, if any at all.
3. All this comes after an annual report showed the number of links between researchers funding by SFI and private companies had risen by 19 per cent.
4. Some claim their usual grant for research was cut off- without explanation.
5. Many eminent people within the scientific community have suggesting Peter Higgs, of Higgs Boson, wouldn’t have got a cent under today’s SFI funding criteria.
6. And a lot of them made their feelings known online.
7. Now, Prof Ferguson/SFI has obtained a High Court order to force UPC to reveal the identity of people who posted comments, articles about him/SFI. (It’s not known what comments or which articles).
8. Yes, Sherlock’s involved.
Where’ll you find us next Wednesday.
