i think i mentioned in the last mini that the next movie is going to be movie number 150 covered by HDTGM so to mark this achievement i made a little video made up of all the end of trailer logos for all 150 movies in under 20 seconds ... DO NOT WATCH THIS IS YOU SUFFER FROM PHOTOSENSITIVE EPILEPSY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zt-V_jR7I30 its way too fast but i was trying to fit it into the original theme ... just ended up giving myself a headache

the picture was for the new xXx .. xXx return of the xander cage ... i bought the first one on DVD last month thinking they might cover that when the new one came out for 50c and i had to think if it was worth that much.. there is no way i'm paying 15 quid to see xXx return of the xander cage so hopefully they wait for the DVD release

the orchestra are going to have to play-off the in memoriam section at the oscars there's been so many amazing people lost in the past year

yeah, paddy considine posted this today on twitter you could treble the amount of boxes and you'd still only capture a fraction of his work.

ah shit ... watership down, alien, the elephant man, 1984 ... the field!!! "you're the bull! you're the bull! you're the bull!" ... just a few from a quick look at his early years .. the naked civil servant! .. on and on from 1962 ... he never stopped working ... RIP John Hurt

This has to be my worst year for seeing Oscar movies. For various reasons I haven't seen any ... as in none ... of the above .. but if Ruth wins then Ireland will go nuts, we're delighted for her ... also, best of luck to Consolata Boyle & the Lobster. I must try to catch up

good shout .. i completely forgot about that.

i would love it if jason went to the razzies, brought paul as his +1, and then went up for any award that dirty grandpa might win "what's up jerkkksss ... fuuuucccckkkkk yyyoooouuuu!!!!" although i can't see grandpa getting any awards this year with all those superheroes around is this the first razzie nomination for a movie paul, jason or june had a part in?

i dont know if it's been on bbc america but BBC4 have been airing a 3 part series on musicals this month. It's called Sound of Musicals with Neil Brand. The first 2 episodes are on youtube and the final part is on this week. Sound of Musicals with Neil Brand: Series in which composer Neil Brand explores how musical theatre evolved over the last 100 years to become today's global phenomenon. Neil hears the inside story from leading composers and talent past and present, and recreates classic songs, looking in detail at how these work musically and lyrically to captivate the audience. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zMaY_VQVmec https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x7066KCKYrU enjoy

they are starting up a newsletter of some sort. not a whole lot of details after that. here's the link http://earwolf.us14.list-manage.com/subscribe?u=e8edf78ab72e9c671fbe7856c&id=15ffc19d7b

does anyone know why the locations on the newsletter sign up page are so specific? are these live show locations? is there going to be a live show in the UK?

sorry, that was abit of an in joke .. earwolf have put any podcasts older than 6 months behind a paywall. you need to subscribe to howl.fm to access them. there's been abit of a fuss over it ... hence the previous post but paul has said they have come to a compromise with earwolf and we should be getting more details on that in the next week or so ... but until then you will have to subscribe to listen to earlier eps

theres actually another irish movie out in the uk at the moment and it's getting . which surprised me .. not because it's not a good film but because of the accents. this was shot in my city and the accents they used are basically the stereotypical cork accent. i dont talk like this but i know lads that do and i miss half of what they are saying but they the funniest and most down to earth people you'll meet and i think the young offenders captured that. you might need subtitles or a cork slang dictionary to hand but it is well worth a watch, and you'll get to see some amazing footage of cork

clicked in here by mistake. you know i hate musicals but i saw ye were talking about sing street. i guess sing street proves there's an exception to every rule. i loved it. i talked about it before, how i grew up in 80's ireland, went to a CBS, had the older brother who introduced me to all things music ... i loved it. ireland was a different place in the 80s. our biggest export was young people. my generation was the first to see a real future in ireland. to get to go to college, to get a proper paying career job. i worked on building sites for a while and the stories the older lads would tell about having to leave home at 18 to head to london ... to head to new york ... that ferry crossing in the film was the norm. those stories were heartbreaking. and then similar things happened after 1998. only instead of the ferry it was planes to every part of the world. i actually got abit emotional during it. not just the nostalgia to my childhood but the memories of friends who are in america now, or australia. they're all living amazing lives but i wish they were able to live here. anyways, moving on to the reason i am writing this... john carney is only 4 years older than my brother so they would have grown up listening to the same music and one of the bands my brother listened to alot, which meant i listened to alot, was U2. Ive seen sing street a couple of times now and basically, as far as im concerned, the band in sing street is U2. the edge was a musical genius ... bono and his relationship will ali .. and i mean just look at them ... the whole was through it i kept saying .. the kid playing eamonn is the spit of the edge. i love it. and tomorrow is a massive day for U2 fans here. they are touring the joshua tree album to celebrate its 30th anniversary and the tickets go on sale in the morning ... i gotta get tickets... i gotta .. i'm on edge already .. only 12 hours 49 mins till they go on sale ... coldplay are playing the same venue this summer and those tickets were like cold dust. i didnt get tickets for them (the touts had no problem getting them though .. god damn ticketmaster/seatwave) so i'm more than a little worried about tomorrow. fingers crossed for a second U2 date ...

i see it as an accomplishment that i got through this movie in one sitting ... it's shockingly bad see what i did there? .. shockingly? and that joke was will go down in history as better entertainment than that movie ... can't wait for the episode

by my count Highlander 2 is going to be movie #149 covered by HDTGM which means the first movie they release from tomorrows live shows will be #150!!! I hope there's a cake or something (of course they could always release something else ... basically i'm saying the next movie after Highlander 2 will be #150)

these could be all the same video, like i said, i haven't actually watched them but this one has raw behind the scenes material.

i dont know why but there's a few videos on youtube of BTS and retrospective discussions about this movie. maybe they were dvd extras but they are there is you want to watch them. i might after i find watch the movie but if you want them: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Se9HY3X00-c

i watched the original many times when i was younger. i still say "there can be only one" when the opportunity arises but i've never seen the quickening ... but i did watch a later sequel. it was more of a tv show tie in. it had christopher lambert, adrian paul and lisa barbusica .. it was called highlander: endgame. it was not good. i hope this is more watchable.

ive been crying all week cameron.... pause..... not! i love the fact that someone on reddit thought an honest, calm and courteous discussion on something people care about was "divisive", "obnoxious" and causing "friction" ... someone on reddit thought that ... REDDIT!

or something with a completely different spelling? The Island of Dr. Moreau - ver the top
