What you may need to know.
1. Visionary filmmaker Terrence Malick took a twenty-year break between his second and third movies. Now he’s just shot three new ones in eighteen months.
2. To The Wonder is Malick’s first movie set entirely in the modern era.
3. Actors like Rachel Weisz, Jessica Chastain and Michael Sheen have had their parts entirely cut from the movie; Terry’s fond of ‘finding’ his films in post-production, notoriously turning Adrien Brody’s leading role in The Thin Red Line (1998) to a bit-part.
4. A decade ago Ben Affleck was a burned-out has-been: today’s he’s an acclaimed filmmaker in his own right, and increasingly choosy when it comes to picking acting roles.
5. To The Wonder is the first Malick movie to be greeted with a largely negative response; at its Venice premiere, they laughed when Bond baddie Javier Bardem turned up as a priest.
6. We say if you’ve done Badlands (1973), Days Of Heaven (1978) and The New World (2005), you can pretty much do whatever you fancy. Any Tree Of Life (2011) lovers out there?
Release Date: April 2013 (TBC)

Dublin North West Sinn Fein TD Dessie Ellis celebrating his 50th murder at the General Election election 2011 count centre, in the RDS.
Irish Independent:: “I know you’ve spoken before about your time in the IRA. Would 50 murders be an exaggeration?”
Dessie Ellis: “I don’t know what they’re on about so I’m not going to comment on it, you know.”
Irish Independent: “Do you know if any of the bombs you made resulted in deaths?”
Ellis: “I’m not going to comment on anything in relation to anything that people are speculating on, okay?”
Fair enough.

A post-Christmas burst of Irish-made, gloriously doom-laden, trance-like electronica.
The Comedown.
From Lust Lost who say:
We make dark pop music as a two piece based in Dublin.
EP on the way. Here are the visuals we did for our first track.
Oh.
Thanks Bobby the Box
We don’t normally do this.
But.

I was hoping you could post about this lovely dog we found outside our house – James’ Walk, Rialto, Dublin 8 – this morning [Friday, December 28] and see if there’s an owner we could reunite it with.
It’s a medium sized black and white dog, looks like it could be part collie. It has distinctive freckle-like black spots on its muzzle and feet. It’s very friendly, was found running around on the road so has no road sense, and responds to ‘sit’ so we think it could be a pet (no collar though).
Anyone?
