And thus endeth Ireland’s most expensive grudge.

Leslie Buckley, the man behind that editorial interference.

Among four Denis O’Brien-approved directors (also including Lucy Gaffney and Paul Connolly below) appointed to the INM board this morning.

Buckley, who was kicked off the board last year, returns as chairman.

He fixed Haiti.

From ADW (Dublin street artist):

“This was the image deemed unfit for human consumption at the Kings [Kings of Concrete at the Tall Ships festival in Dublin dockside] yesterday. It’s title ‘there’s no Justice, there is just us’ featured the lady of justice bent over a riot policeman’s knee getting spanked. The Guards took a serious exception to the piece of artwork and it was regrettably removed…Freedom of expression? Pussy Riots?”

 

After the picture was covered I wrote the name of the piece ‘There is no justice, there’s just us’…on THEIR power happy trip I was even ordered to remove the name of the piece??!!

1. Lawless is written by Nick Cave, and directed by John Hillcoat, who gave us out-back western The Proposition (2005).

2. How bad-ass is this movie? It’s got Shia LaBeouf in it, and it STILL manages to be bad-ass.

3. This year’s celluloid style icon? Guy Pearce at 1’08.

4. Five additional points for gangsta Gary Oldman at 1’30.

5. Tom Hardy in a cardie. That is all.

Release date (Ireland): September 7
