There you go now.
Previously: Reality Check
Fatima mansions, Rialto, Dublin.
You can’t park there.

“This is a new locally led project in Fatima Mansions that your readers might be interested in. The Grow Dome Project is Dublin’s first geodesic grow dome – an intensive all-year-round sustainable food growing tool, a community meeting and education area, an arts and music exhibition space and an iconic artwork in its own right – all at the same time.
Transforming derelict land it will use harvested rainwater and an off-grid hydroponic technique to produce well over 1,000 lettuces per week, every week, all year round. Working with community centres and local business to distribute produce to those most in need, any donations generated will support regular dome festivities.
Website and Facebook went live over the weekend and the launch party is on September 20th; with only the bleedin’ Lord Mayor himself coming down to cut the ribbon :)”

Thanks Barry H
At the recent launch of Planet of The Runt in the Vintage Room of the Workman’s Club in Dublin, guest performer James Moran made some unusual suggestions for art installations on Earth, the Moon and Mars.
Space comedy.
Finally.
What you may need to know:
1. Under the pseudonym of Wei Ling Soo, Stanley Crawford (Colin Firth) is the most celebrated magician of his age. He embarks on a mission to the Côte d’Azur to debunk the clairvoyant Sophie Baker (Emma Stone).
2. Holy crappy Photoshop Batman! Colin Firth must hold the record for actor appearing in movies with the worst …posters… ever. It must be written into his contract.
3. Woody Allen is the Prince of filmmaking. Since What’s Up, Tiger Lily (1966) the prolific 78-year-old has delivered a new movie almost every year. Magic in the Moonlight is the 46th movie that he has written and directed.
4. Still, not the greatest foster parent ever.
5. After last year’s phenomenal Blue Jasmine, Magic in the Moonlight has been getting mediocre reviews. But hey, with a workload like Allen’s, you can’t expect them all to be hits.
6. Annie Hall (1977) is usually cited as the pinnacle of his “early funny ones,” but if you haven’t seen Take the Money and Run (1969), do yourself a favour.
7. Broadsheet Prognosis: More Paul Daniels than David Blaine.
