What you may need to know:
1. An island castaway (Paul Dano) finds a flatulent, multi-functional corpse (Daniel Radcliffe) and uses it to escape.
2. Yes, really.
3. All credit to Radcliffe for picking interesting post-Potter roles, but what the what?
4. This really split audiences when it premiered at Sundance this year. There were plenty of walk-outs, but it went on to win the directing award.
5. Go Hasselhoff!
6. Broadsheet prognosis: Weekend at Bernie’s III.
Release Date: June 17.
Behold Territorio de Zaguates – a refuge for stray dogs in the Santa Barbara mountains of Costa Rica. Home to more that 900 rescued dogs who roam freely about the hills during the day, returning to cosy beds provided by the staff at night.
Visitors are encouraged, walks with the pack can be arranged and adoptions are, unsurprisingly, fairly common.
MORE to folly.
This evening.
On Upper Clanbrassil Street, Dublin 8.

The best live rap band in the country, Limerick’s Rusanagano Family head this bill which doubles as the album party for their second album Let The Dead Bury The Dead, which is out on Friday. MuRli and God Knows and mynameisjOhn know how to spin a party.
The final leaders debate on RTÉ’s Prime Time
During the final leaders’ debate, broadcast live on RTÉ television on 23 February, presenter Miriam O’Callaghan wanted to know if Gerry Adams in government would appoint “cronies” to state boards.
She made reference to a number of individuals, including Danny Morrison. When Adams pointed that Danny Morrison is now a “private citizen” she responded that he had been “convicted for kidnapping”.
O’Callaghan – whose brother Jim was elected as a TD for Fianna Fáil just days later – was apparently unaware that the kidnapping for which Morrison was convicted in 1990 (and for which he spent over five years in prison) was overturned in 2008 and he was paid substantial compensation from the British state…
…The second law-suit is in relation to an interview given by the Labour Party’s then TD Joe Costello to Saturday with Claire Byrne on RTÉ Radio in which he named Sinn Féin’s Nicky Kehoe in relation to unfounded media accusations which claimed ‘sinister and subversive elements’ are controlling the party.

Was just caught by the byplay outside my window. A pair of magpies started building a nest when a larger grey crow flew in to try to occupy the spot.
There have been a few minutes of manoeuvring and attempts on each side to get the other to leave, with one using size, the others numbers. A quiet confrontation. I figured that birds getting frisky is a sure sign of Spring :)
The cosmic ballet continues.
‘sup?

At around 11.30am this morning, in the Citywest Business Campus in Dublin 24, we found this beautiful husky dog who was doing his best to injure himself with cars, lawnmowers and climbing on buildings.
We managed to catch him and bring him to the Animal Hospital in Tallaght but unfortunately he has no ID on his collar and isn’t microchipped.
If his owner doesn’t get in contact I believe he will be sent to Ashtown dog pound, which would be heartbreaking for such a loving and friendly guy.
Anyone?
A manifesto posted on Twitter and Facebook allegedly from the owners of a new bar which is supposed to open in Dublin 2 on December 30, 2016.
Hmmm.
Anyone?
Thanks Miq
