What you may need to know.

1. It’s been four years since In Bruges (2008). Meaning, it’s been four years since Colin Farrell starred in a good movie.

2. Lest we forget, Martin McDonagh won an Oscar for Best Short Film for Six Shooter (2004). Respect.

3. Seven Psychopaths was meant to co-star Mickey Rourke, who threw a mickey fit over cash. They got Woody Harrelson in instead.

4. Tom Waits.

5. Tom Waits

6. McDonagh did a stage play called A Beheading In Spokane, starring Crazy Chris Walken and Sam The Rock Rockwell, both of whom feature here. We want it on the Abbey stage NOW.

7. The Farreller was in Dublin last night. This one’s for you, Bullseye.

8. Tom Waits

Release Date: October 12 (US)

That storm you ordered.

And how plausible is it that the removal of Sam Smyth from a Sunday morning radio programme on Today FM, which Denis O’Brien controls, and his ostracisation now within the Irish Independent to which he is contracted (not one article by him has been published for some months), isn’t part of the same campaign which Denis O’Brien and Leslie Buckley, conducted against Sam Smyth in 2010?

Denis O’Brien has said he does not control INM. However, given his interference in editorial matters in INM, in contradiction of the principles he himself has enunciated, even aside from the findings of the Moriarty tribunal against him, I do not believe Denis O’Brien is a fit person to be allowed control the country’s second most powerful media enterprise.

 

Gulp.
