Channing-Tatum-Jonah-Hill-22-Jump-Street-Set

What you may need to know:

1.
The first 21 Jump Street (2012) was the best movie based on an old TV show since The Untouchables (1987). Or maybe The Addams Family (1991). Or A Very Brady Sequel (1996).

2.
Channing Tatum. Master Of Modern Comedy. Who knew? Loved that This Is The End (2013) cameo.

3. Jonah Hill should get his second Oscar nomination for Scorsese’s Wolf Of Wall Street (2013). Loved that Django Unchained (2012) cameo.

We’re still holding out for McConaughey in a Magnum P.I. Movie.

Want to help Pieta House?

Chewy sez:

Myself and a few friends are organising a big Christmas party in aid of Pieta House this Sunday in Dublin’s Button Factory. It’s a DFA/LCD themed night called All My Friends and we are billing it as a Christmas party for mates. Time to take stock and be thankful for one another and at the same time remember friends who can’t be here. There will be live music from Benny Smiles and Sleep Thieves and a special DFA/LCD set from The Disco Brunch DJs and Colin Perkins. I know a few of your readers have an interest in both Pieta and good gigs so figured you may like this…

€5 donation at the door.

“You are my soldiers of the dawn, you’re the ones I get up for every morning, your tweets, your posts, your calls, and as commander of the dawn this morning I say to my soldiers of the dawn ‘good morning’.

Pyromanic and munitions-freak Richard Ryan of RatedPR constructs a Christmas tree from detonating cord (which explodes at approximately 6.4km per second), ignites it and films the result in ultra slow Festive Motion™.

phillipines

When 20th century Fox commissioned videographer Casey Neistat to create a motivational ad campaign promoting The Secret Life Of Walter Mitty, he proposed to spend the entire 25,000 budget on the victims of the recent Haiyan typhoon in the Phillipines.

This shameless feelgood viral was the result.

No doubt Fox intend you to skip the movie and instead donate the ticket price to relief efforts.

[University College Dublin pro-life student Samuel O’Connor]

Via The College Tribune:

Law student Samuel O’Connor has become the first UCD student ever to leave UCD Students’ Union. The Union’s Independent Appeals and Disciplinary Board determined that UCDSU “would not be respecting Mr. O’Connor’s legal rights” if it did not allow for his name to be removed from the SU electoral register and any databases used by UCDSU to contact UCD students as Mr. O’Connor requested. Mr. O’Connor will not however receive a monetary refund due to the current SU funding model.
