Official Comedy addresses a classic trope of blockbuster movie villainy – the combination chilling-quip-followed-by-casual-atrocity.

The tent-spawning Walking Shelter: designed by Sibling, a collective of Melbourne architects, what sez:
The Walking-Shelter is a human shelter stored within a pair of sneakers. Stored compactly in integrated net pockets within the shoe, the shelter expands out and around the body to form an enclosure that relies on the human frame as a supporting structure. The shelter accommodates for the body in a variety of ways and can be customised by the user to adapt to a variety of contexts and environments.
We feel we’re being sold a pup tent here.
We’ll take three.
Back in the day.
Images from the Irish women’s movement by Rose Comiskey part of an exhibition entitled Against The Tide, at the Avenue Road Gallery, Portobello, Dublin in association with PhotoIreland Festival 2013.
Until TOMORROW.
The exhibition is photographic record of the “campaign for reproductive rights in Ireland in the 1980s” and the passing of the 1992 amendment to the Irish Constitution.
Rose writes:
Images 1 and 3 are from a right to know march in Dublin c1985. It was illegal to publish any information on abortion and English magazines and newspapers were censored as they came into the country….Image 2 is of a protest puppet – a judge – one of two. The other was a bishop puppet… and Image 4 is from an event in 1992 after the X Case when hundreds of women went to Holyhead on the ferry for the purpose of bringing back information on abortion.

A wheelbarrow with a footboard, a scooter engine and the Road Warrior seal of approval.
Ryan Kwanten (him from Home & Away or more recently True Blood) stars in this short set in the Spider-Man universe. A French documentary crew follow larger-than-life crime journalist Eddie Brock and get a little more than they bargained for.
There is of course a post credits bonus scene.
Producer Adi Shankar gave a spoiler filled interview about the background to the short.

Had a bit of time before my connecting flight in Atlanta airport. Two 20oz Guinness (mediocre at best) and a satisfactory Tuna Caesar Salad. $36.11 15% customary gratuity is puzzling…
