The one with more nudey bits

More pics from Tunick Installation yesterday. All photos by Dan Linehan from the Irish Examiner. To be honest, I actually thought the one where there all holding up the flowers (lying down) was actually by Spencer Tunick, so hats off to Dan.

A few people are still asking why didnt I do it? Truth be told, I had a plumber calling bright and early yesterday morning. Maybe its a lame ass excuse, but at least theres a new seal in the ensuite shower now :)

The one with nudey bits

One of the pics from the installation this morning, floating around the web at the moment...Is that you????


Hats off to all involved. Fair f$%kin' play!

The one with Stan Winston - RIP

I crawled into bed around 2am last night. Which, is kinda early for me. The traditional bedtime surfing took place and as I made my way through Google Reader, I saw a post on aintitcool saying Stan Winston had died. I was staring at the ipod screen for a good 3 minutes before I googled the incident, and tragically it was true.



The Oscar winning makeup, creature- and visual-effects genius was gone! He died of complications from multiple myeloma Sunday at his home in Malibu. Stan Winston won Oscars for Aliens, Jurassic Park and Terminator 2. The man and his team have been respsonsible for some of cinemas biggest and best known icons. Without him, the outfits, the suits and motions would never have been as good as they were.


Predator - Check
Terminator - Check
Alien Queen - Check
Iron Man suits - Check
Jurassic Park Dinos - Check

Thats just a tiny sample of some of Stans Work. There must be a very small amount of people worldwide that havent seen or heard about his work!

Back in my film and animation days, I was a huge fan of Stan Winston and his work. The first autograph I ever bought was of Stan Winston, which still hangs on the office wall. Hours and hours were spent nosing through DVD extras looking at Stan's legendary work.

And you know what the say about legends, they live on forever! RIP Stan Winston

The one with the Hulk

Friday night, we went off to see the Hulk. The Incredible Hulk, or whatever its called this time. You know the one, its got the dude from Fight Club in it! No, not Brad Pitt, the other gifted actor, Ed Norton. There was a pretty biggish queue, but that turned out to be the queue for The Happening. This Q (fed up of spelling Q) obviously had not read the reviews and heard how shite it is, allegedly! So, she who must be obeyed and I sat in a very empty screen 1 in Mahon Point.

Hulk 5 years ago, wondering how did the talcum powder explode

Christ, is Norton thin looking. Either way, he's living in a favella in Brazil (Not the richest of places as observed by Ross Kemp in Gangs) trying to find a cure for his anger problem which turns him into a big green, forklift flinging machine. But before we get to Brazil, the film opens with a decent credit sequence and a bit of a back story. Enter Tim Roth who eventually decides he needs some medicine and then decides he needs more and turns into the Abomination. Lets put it this way, if the Hulk arrived to your house to pick up your daughter you'd probably say "God he's a big chap with a weird, tropical skin condition". If the Abomination arrived you'd probably say "Fuck me", to which he probably would!

Hulk last weekend, wondering where his pee pee has gone

Anyway, in between a few set pieces which are incredibly well done, theres the usual Stan Lee reference and of course the pizza place, which is called Stanleys. Get it. S-T-A-N-L-E-E-S. Maybe that was just me. Keep your eyes peeled for Stark Industries (from the Iron Man movie) and keep your eyes closed for really poor interactions that borderline on a drunk uncle at a wedding video, between Norton and Liv Tyler. The big shit kick at the end (well what else did you expect) is great. Its tightly edited and belts along frantically. When its all said and done, the last scene with Norton is far too cheesy for me, as is the Hulk Smash scene. Besides these little gripes, its good. Is it as good as Iron Man, God no!!! I always felt this Hulk movie was going to get lost in the Summer movie mash, and I think it will. Either way, 6.5 / 10. Either way a no brainer and if you like it loud and fast, it's cheaper than a hooker. And it could be worse, you could go to see the Happening.

The one with the winning joke

Not for the sensitive or the weak stomached!!!!

A boy takes his girlfriend home for a bit of fun but finds his brother sleeping in the bottom bunk, undaunted they get in the top bunk. He says to the girl- we will use a code- if u want it harder say lettuce, if u want a different position say tomato....... Lettuce lettuce tomato lettuce she says ..... After a hile his brother shouts - will u two stop making fucking sandwiches, the mayonaise is dripping all over my face!! Ella from kanturk

The one with the sexist SATC movie

So, the Sex and the city movie has been seen by thousands of Cork women. Its been open for the last 2 weeks almost and rumour has it, 17 men have seen it! Over the weekend and for the last week I was more or less told by various parties a selection of the following

"Its not for men"

"Oh God, dont bring him, the cinema was full of women, you'll be like a freak"

"Listen, its made for women and women only"

I dont think I've ever suffered the sexist punch before, but this has wound me up no end. I've never heard such bollocks in my life and I should know, I talk enough of it!!!! Im a big fan of the cinema, and am all for the party atmosphere in the flicks. Its great when people stand and cheer at the end of a movie or get dressed up for the occasion. There's plenty of dudes who got out their lightsabers and dressed up as wookies when the Star Wars flicks came to cinemas. So, finally the ladies get a chance to do the same. Evening gowns, imitation Manolas and cheap champagne. Great, it adds to the atmosphere.



Why cant the men go see it with their respective other? I'll tell ya!!!! Its blatant sexism!!!

Bridget Jones - "Cmon love, you might like this. Pleassseeee"

PS I Love you - "Cmon love, you might like this. Its get Berties daughter in it or something. Pleeassseeee

Sex and the City Movie - " Fuck off, your not coming. Play your playbox and that Grand car automatic game or something"

Every other chick flick, man goes along. Alot of the time; man goes along for peace and to gain brownie points. And when the time comes to cashing in the brownie points, its all about getting pant's off!!!! Yup, men tolerate the terrible chick flick for sex! And not just any oul sex. In all probability, they hope it'll be for some really kinky shit. Fingers up bums and the likes.

As Nuala pointed out to me last night, she didnt want men to see how capable they are of hurting women and apparently theres alot of this in the SATC flick! Christ, its like this movie is like the Holy Grail for men. So, for those males out there who want to destroy womenkind, then go see the SATC movie. Therein lies the secret codes. Apparently!!!! If we're good enough for the other chick flicks, then why not this one!

What would happen if you tell your better half that you cant go see the new Batman movie. Its not suitable! Its made for men! I dont care if you are Heath Ledgers biggest fan, you'll never see one of his last flicks because its a lads flick!!!!! Bra's would be burned again!!!! Thats what would happen!!! And there would be no more blow jobs....from women anyway!



One of the other things that grinds my gears with this fake champagne crew, is for some, they actually think they're Carrie. At least the dudes took off their Wookie costume and put it away. Some of these people wouldnt know a Rampant Rabbit from a rabbit hutch! The other thing, is they jump on the popularity bandwagon. "Oh yeah, I loves it. Used always watch it on the.....um..Discovery Channel" That sickens me. People trying to be popular with their so called mates, because of some badly written movie. These fake people should be lined against a wall and shot....twice!

Im not saying that you should be a fan to go see the SATC movie, but you cant be a man by all accounts.

The little Sunday update

That is all!!!!
