Laser Video, George’s Street, Dublin last night.
Farewell.
The best-stocked video store (and best informed video store staff) in Ireland.
Mark writes:
One of Dublin’s most well known stores for picking up classic films, world cinema and some indie surprises is to close its doors after 25 years. Laser DVD has been located on George’s Street for the past 22 years. But the decline in the movie rental market and the rise of online streaming and downloads has meant that the store is now in the process of selling off its library before shutting up shop…
Mmf.

Do you feel a cold northerly breeze,
As the leaves fall away from the trees?
You’ve seen nothing yet,
‘Cause the boffins all bet,
That soon the whole country will freeze.

What you may need to know:
1. After a couple meet at a gathering to watch a meteor shower, their relationship is told through 5 different random stories.
2. As any ambitious comedy romance film shot across parallel universes would, it is dividing critics.
3. Doesn’t Justin Long look like a cleaner living Anthony Kiedis?
4. Long is a mac.
5. Long and co-star Emmy Rossum are also listed as executive producers. Guess that means they didn’t get paid.
6. Broadsheet Prognosis: Maybe not a Deep Impact (1998)
Release Date: TBC

I know you dont normally do this, but I met Aoife Dooley yesterday and she has an exhibition and launch of her book ‘Life Tips And Other Bits’ and a sale [of prints, keyrrings, etc] in the Bernard Shaw [Richmond Street, Dublin] tomorrow at 6pm. A post would help a really amazing, funny and talented Dublin artist. I’m just attending, not organising…

A guide to the ‘controversial‘ tech summit
By pencil bearded illustrator Cathal Duane
He sez:
“This cover is a response to the Web Summit being held in Dublin on the 4-6 of November. I wanted create a visually quirky image that represents and combines aspects of both the conference and the city it is being held in. I create my work by headbutting a sketchbook until ideas fall out then I verbally abuse a computer until it does what I want.”
Fair enough.
