Looking for a bad movie to watch? First there is the poster. Then the trailer. Then the why Jon Lovitz, why? Why Status Quo? Who would come up with such a concept? I must see it.

Go to sleep, sheeple.
Curing insomnia in people with depression could double their chance of a full recovery, scientists are reporting. The findings, based on an insomnia treatment that uses talk therapy rather than drugs, are the first to emerge from a series of closely watched studies of sleep and depression to be released in the coming year.
The new report affirms the results of a smaller pilot study, giving scientists confidence that the effects of the insomnia treatment are real. If the figures continue to hold up, the advance will be the most significant in the treatment of depression since the introduction of Prozac in 1987.

What you may need to know
1. Lilyhammer Season One divided audiences. Haters gonna hate, but hey, we had a blast.
2. The concept: The Sopranos meets Fargo (1996). In Norway.
3. Steve Van Zandt – for an actor, he’s one hell of a guitar player.
4. It’s biggest thing ever on Norwegian telly. In the US, its part of the Netflix revolution. Here, you’ll find it on BBC4.
5. Broadsheet Prognosis: They should set Season Three in Donegal.
Screening Date: Spring
You may recall the jingling Skerries, Co Dublin potato van.
Via Skerries:
Brenda Donohue of RTE [Radio] is coming out to Skerries this morning and will be with Chris Lee [above] in his musical potato van. If you see him give him a warm welcome.
Hang on, weren’t Chris’ roosters €4 last week (see link below)?
Damn you fame-cashing-in musical potato van man.
Update: We were mistaken..The rooster prices are unchanged (see comments). Sorry Chris.
