This morning.

Tayto announced the name of its controversial wooden rollercoaster which is due to launch in Summer .

Pause.

Tayto boss Raymond Coyle writes

Our rollercoaster has been named after one of the great eternal heroes of Irish history, The Cú Chulainn Coaster…With the figure of the great Irish warrior emblazoned across the front of the Tayto Park rollercoaster Cú Chulainn’s role in Irish history will be front of mind for everyone who rides the coaster this Summer…

FIGHT!

Not sure if you have already spotted the worrying resemblance between [Chicago detective] Richard Zuley [responsible for brutal interrogation techniques at Guantánamo] and [God-bothering] Irish talk show host Gay Byrne [responsible for brutal interrogation techniques at Montrose]…hmm..

What you may need to know:

1. Adam Sandler stars as a creepy cobbler that discovers a magical sewing machine which allows him to walk in other peoples shoes. Do you see what they did there?

2. Sandler didn’t produce himself in to this one. He actually stars in it on merit.

3. Sandler has not been in a good film since we were 12. Hang on…

4. But we can’t blame him solely for this film. We can also point the finger at Emmy winner Ellen Barkin, two-time Oscar winner Dustin Hoffman, Grammy winner Method Man, Golden Globe winner Steve Buscemi and Bafta winning writer Thomas McCarthy. J’accuse!

5. There is little studio fanfare surrounding the release of this feel good comedy. Do you know what else feels good? Triple-ply toilet paper.

6. Broadsheet Prognosis: Absolute cobblers

Release Date: May 22
