I’m decking myself out in GAA gear and going to Santa Ponsa for a week!!! Well, not really but I am taking a week off. Will be back on the airwaves for 10 mins on Sunday night, doing an interview with Eli Roth on Tuesday morning but other than that normal service shall resume on Sunday 5th September! A new book at bedtime will also return that week! In the meantime, The Movie Bit will keep ticking over, albeit quite slowly!
Later skaters!
Last week I caught up with Edgar Wright, Michael Cera, Anna Kendrick and Jason Schwartzman for an exclusive Movie Bit special!

Yesterday was probably one of the more enjoyable experiences of 2010. I drove to Dublin to talk shit with Edgar Wright, Michael Cera, Jason Schwartzman and Anna Kendrick about their new movie, Scott Pilgrim Vs The World.
After just over 2 hours sleep and much deliberation about going at all due to Ger being sick, I hit the road. Coasted into Dublin in just over 2 hours, albeit I had to stop for around 15 mins for a snooze half way up. First up was Edgar Wright who had just stepped off a non espresso carrying Aer Lingus flight. Edgar was really cool as you’ll hear in the special, everything from an extended edition of Scott Pilgrim to ZX81’s were discussed. After that, it was back to the press room and await the next interview. Not long after I trundled off to talk to Michael Cera and Jason Schwartzman. Upon walking into the room, all I could see was Schwartzman and not long after Michael Cera pounced out of a cupboard. When shit like that happens, you know the interview can’t go wrong. Well for me anyway. Jason Schwartzman got on his knees to do the interview and then we all decided to get on our knees.
Quickly the conversation turned to lube, to which Cera pulls out a bottle of Tabasco sauce. Either way it was an absolute blast, so much so that I’ve decided to air the Cera / Schwartzman interview unedited. It was actually the most fun interview I’ve done in quite some time. It was certainly interesting to say the least when the studio people come in and your on your knees. Anyway, next up was Anna Kendrick, who was absolutely delightful.
Then I hit the road home, which took a bit longer as I had to get fed. I rolled in and for one reason or another, I was still up at 11pm. Anyway, the Scott Pilgrim special will air THIS THURSDAY and repeated on SUNDAY NIGHT!
Been in Dublin today with Edgar Wright, Michael Cera, Jason Schwartzman and Anna Kendrick. All part of my Scott Pilgrim Vs The World special! More on that tomorrow, but in the meantime…
Not so long ago I sat down with Mr.Brand to have a chat about his latest flick Get Him To The Greek. During that process, we also talked crap about his next movie, Arthur…yes, that ancient Dudley Moore comedy which is rather funny. Anyway in between that and pausing to look at Helen Mirren nekkid in a bathtub on my iTouch, he’s started shooting this flick with Helen Mirren.
Now, she ain’t nekkid in the following shots but Mr.Brand has got nekkid face. So if you fancy seeing a clean shaven Russell Brand, jump on over to The Movie Bit by clicking here
Yesterday evening, I made the decision to shut down this blog. Not delete it or anything, just leave it dormant. I’m finding less and less time to post things in the old style, ie extremely humorous commentary and observations…I know…you have no idea that, that exists on this blog. Then as the night rolled on and I fed Cameron at 2 in the morning I started to dwell on the whole idea of shutting down and I suppose essentially letting go. You wonder do people give a shite, but stat’s would say other wise. But you know what, when something is part of you for so long, it ain’t that easy!!!
I find myself doing more of the micro blogging stuff (ie on Twitter) far more often. It’s less time consuming and potentially makes more of an impact and is more immediate. I also have dedicated an incredible amount of time to The Movie Bit which is a labour of love more than anything else and obviously it’s tied into my dedicated movie segment.
I’ve been online since 1997, this blog has being going since 2004 and at times it has catalogued major events in my life, let alone minor ones. On occasion it has caused a shit storm or 2 professionally and I’ve defended it to the hilt, as I believe quite strongly in what this blog and others represent. And even as I type this..what? you’ve read this far? Holy fuck…anyway…I feel this blog is an extension of who I am and it’s like an extra leg..or penis..or whatever. The posting may get slower, or faster and the twitter box is now in the main panel so plenty of stuff is still going on.
So with that in mind, upon reflection I’m not ready to shut down this bitch anytime soon.
