What you may need to know:
1. An aging actor loses his skills and his desire to perform and attempts suicide. He later begins an affair with a much younger lesbian which sparks passion into his life once again.
2. The movie is adapted from Philip Roth’s steamy novel of the same name . Al Pacino bought the rights in 2009. The sly dog.
3. As a novel it didn’t garner great review with the Guardian reviewer saying busy Roth needed to “be slowing down a little. And perhaps should be getting out of the house a bit more.”
4. It was a very depressing book, the trailer seems to have a few laughs though.
5. The great Barry Levinson is directing. I suppose we can forgive him Sphere (1998) after all. Just.
6. Greta Gerwig is apparently producing and writing the How I met Your Mother spin-off. entitled How I Met Your Dad.
7. Broadsheet Prognosis: More humbling, less fumbling please.
Release Date: TBC

Mick Wallace TD interrogates Enda Kenny over the government’s efforts to solve the ongoing myriad crises within An Garda Síochána during Leader’s Questions today.
All in good time apparently.
Once they’ve finished installing the meters.
Senator Ronan Mullen took issue with the UNHRC and Sir Nigel Rodley in a meeting of the Justice, Defence and Equality Committee earlier as he addressed the newly appointed chief of the Irish Human Rights and Equality Commission Emily Logan.
“I was extremely unhappy with the behaviour of the UN Human Rights Commission recently and the comments of Sir Nigel Rodley, particularly in relation to Ireland’s abortion laws.
UN agencies are radically in danger of overstepping their remit. Certain international human rights bodies seem to be off of a frolic of their own in a way that they do not respect our Constitutional understanding of what authentic human rights are.
I would ask that your Commission would respect first of all, the diversity of different points of view of people of goodwill in our society on various issues.”
Ms Logan replied:
“It was not only embarrassing but it was shocking as an Irish citizen not just as Chief Commissioner to hear about our demonstrable history and the way we have treated women and children.”
As the committee chair David Stanton informed the Senator his time was up, Senator Mullen accused the chair of a “culture of censorship“, the chair reminded him of a “culture of good manners“.
Senator Mullen called Deputy Pádraig Mac Lochlainn a “Yes man” when his attendance record was questioned.
Good times.
