“For the first time, it will be possible to get a train in Maynooth or Leixlip and get out in Dundrum or Sandyford with just one change. Similarly, you will be able to get on the Luas at Tallaght and with just one change, get out at the new DIT campus or at Trinity College.”

There’s a shortage of guards on the streets,
As civilisation retreats,
But those at the wheel,
Stick to a tired spiel,
About blaming electrical beats.

What you may need to know:
1. The Paperboy is already known as that movie where Nicole Kidman pisses on Zac Efron. Seriously.
2. The reviews from Cannes were nigh upon catastrophic, with a few passionate defenders. Some already suggest it’s a future camp classic.
3. Matthew McConaughey’s just experienced the biggest career turnabout since John Travolta in Pulp Fiction. A year ago, he was a punchline who couldn’t keep his shirt on. Now he’s working with Scorsese.
4. John Cusack wears the haunted look of someone in need of a McConaughey-esque career enema. He shouldn’t have turned down the lead in Breaking Bad.
5. As for McConaughey, well, he just keeps living.
Release date (Ireland): TBC (October US)
