“Got another ‘Rush Hour Crush’ into the [UK] Metro (above) this week. Having initially been quite proud of myself, I’m starting to think you could serialise ‘Mein Kampf’ in to thousands of three-sentence-long chunks and so long as you added “Drink?” at the end, they’d publish every one…”

Ah here.

What you may need to know:

1. Liam Neeson turned 62 over the weekend. With each passing year, he
gets badassier.

2. A Walk… is based on the novel by Lawrence Block. There are over a dozen novels in Block’s Matthew Scudder series. We smell franchise opportunities.

3. How awesome is Liam Neeson? He walked away from the A Million Ways To
Die In The West (2014) with his dignity fully intact, that’s how awesome Liam Neeson is.

4. How awesome is Liam Neeson? He’s a jedi, he trained Batman, has been Oskar Schindler, Darkman, Zeus, Michael Collins and Aslan (the lion, as opposed to the band), and as a young man played one game for Bohemians FC, as a sub in a match against Shamrock Rovers, that’s how awesome Liam Neeson is. And don’t even get us started on The Lego Movie (2014).

5. He is currently filming Taken 3 (2015). There will be punching. Oh yes.

Release Date: September

“Can anyone explain the thinking behind the way RTE and The Irish Times have (with honorable exceptions such as Philip Boucher Hayes) treated the mother and child story?  Last Thursday’s Prime Time and Saturday’s Irish Times (above) sought to dismantle ‘aspects’ of the original story and not address or investigate the outrage that children in these homes were FIVE times more likely to die than children outside these homes?”

Anyone?

Alex Woodcock Clark adds

“I am a little amazed that this article (Irish Times Saturday) which attempts, bravely, to whitewash this horrific story does not contain the words ‘Roman’, ‘Catholic’, ‘church’ or ‘nuns’ in any of its three pages…”
