I was speaking to staff at the Savoy cinema [O’onnell Street, Dublin 1] yesterday and was shocked to hear some of them are being made redundant, in favour of turnstiles and ticket scanners. First the Screen cinema goes under, now the Savoy appears to be floundering in this era of economic recovery. This turn of events comes completely out of the blue as the staff from the Screen were relocated to the Savoy barely three months previous. They seems amazed at the suggestion the cinema is over staffed.

My dog Lupa [double entendre – named after the mother of  Romulus and Remus] and I traversed the Military road in the  mountains yesterday and she became all existential staring off towards Wicklow. I just thought I would share this precious moment with you. Have a beautiful weekend…

What you may need to know.

1. CBS have released 50 seconds-worth of nondescript CG as an early taster for the in-development Star Trek TV show.

3. It’s rumoured that this new series will be set in between The Undiscovered Country and The Next Generation.

4. Star Wars/Star Trek… It’s all good. There’s plenty of room for everyone at the all-you-can-eat nerd buffet. Except Kevin Smith. He’s barred.

5. CBS will air Star Trek in January 2017.

7. Broadsheet Prognosis: Klingon to the past (I’ll get me coat).
