With “Len” playing Dublin tonight and tomorrow, I thought your readers might like this song and video I made about the ‘cult of Hallelujah’, set to some rare (found it on YouTube) footage of Cohen from the 1960s Here‘s the audio-only version, if you’re into that sort of thing. Sweet dreams, sunbeams…
Perish the thought.
The Labour leader denied the Seanad proposal represented a power grab but was rather part of a programme of political reforms. Cabinet had discussed broader reform proposals which would be published tomorrow and which could be discussed during the campaign.

Thanks Reppy
Filmmaker Anthony Cerniello had photographer Keith Sirchio shoot portraits at his friend Danielle’s family reunion, from her youngest cousins to her oldest relations. The shots were digitally edited together in After Effects and 3D Studio Max then smoothed out into a single flowing sequence using Nuke 3D VFX to create an artificial, entirely fictional, but highly convincing timelapse animation.
Cerniello insists the only way to watch this is all the way through (no skipping) and with sound.

A professional said so.
Further to the Jim Stafford ‘unequal insolvency’ brouhaha
“I think in fairness – and I didn’t hear this story yesterday, I’ve only seen what was written about it since then. I don’t think he meant exactly what he said, and even if he did, irregardless – the PIP [Personal Insolvency Practitioner] process is based on equal treatment for all people who have debt. It doesn’t matter whether… [interrupted by panelists]..You know what? your answer to everything is to be negative. It is a solution for people who have been waiting on it for a number of years, who find themselves in debt caused by the crisis your Government completely ignored [continued interruption by panellists] The practice in the UK of Insolvency Legislation and the PIP process equivalent in the UK has an 85% success rate.”

What you may need to know
1. Be honest: you wouldn’t necessarily expect too much from a thriller starring Jake Gyllenhaal and Hugh Jackman
2. That said, the reviews from Toronto, where it just premiered, suggest that it might be the best movie of the year.
3. Gyllenhaal has given the Hollywood pretty boy thing a try, but it all went a bit Prince Of Persia. He’ll always be Donnie Darko (2001) to us.
4. We do like Paul Dano, from Little Miss Sunshine (2009) and There Will Be Blood (2007), and those big mad -sad eyes of his.
5. From what we hear, Prisoners goes FULL dark. We do like that.
