Rapid Celluloid Eye Movement
So what if Buñuel did it all before
and died in Mexico in 1983 from cirrhosis of the liver,
Michel Gondry's 'The Science Of Sleep'
is inventive and incandescent
and full of nuance and whimsy
and beating heart
and multi-lingual characters that I like.
It makes me yearn for a little more
Parallel Synchronized Randomness in my life
and in the lives of my loved ones.
Watching it is a little like being hugged by a favourite sweater
that smells of
freshly-cut grass and hot waffle syrup.
But not too much. Because that would be unpleasant.

A Comedy In Four Acts
When one of the lead characters is off-stage
playing a melancholy tune on a piano keyboard,
you know you must be watching a Chekhov play.
I say that, but I've never actually seen a Chekhov play before.
I know! It's ridiculous. I'm 36 years old,
and I've never seen a Chekhov play before.
I have a degree in theatre studies
and another in playwriting
and yet, somehow, I've never before
seen a play by Anton Chekhov. Never even read one.
I'm not entirely sure quite how that's happened.
The Royal Court's production is one of gentle expanse;
the ensemble performances measured and fully-rounded.
The seagull is a metaphor. Clearly.
Beyond the talk of unrequited love
and the painful artistic struggle for new forms,
I am drawn to the smaller off-the-ball moments;
mesmerised by the way
Katherine Parkinson (Masha) eats fresh cherries.
Moved by the way
Pearce Quigley (Dorn) lingers in a doorway.
Chiwetel Ejiofor (Trigorin) could do nothing but
pack away fishing-tackle for 2 hours and 50 minutes
and I'd happily sit here and watch -
my tongue slowly freeze-drying to the roof of my mouth.
Mackenzie Crook (Konstantin) looks perfectly at home
amongst the long shadows and the over-sized wooden floorboards.
In another world that might've been me up there
with a blood-stained bandage wrapped around my forehead.
In another world the Russians might've made it to the moon first.
In another world Chekhov might not have succumbed to tuberculosis
and been transported back to Moscow in
a refrigerated railway car normally reserved for oysters.
In another world I might be able to get through
a whole day without thinking about that girl as much as I do.

Full Of Spinto Beans
The elder statesman in the mosh-pit looks on;
soaking-up the angular
prom-night indie-pop on display.
He approves of the
bobbleheading microphone technique
and the exchanging of guitars.
He approves of the spacecake gurns
and the
calculated
stop-start
staccato mannersims
that work together in tandem.
He wails along with the tunes he knows.
He joins in with the impromptu rendition of 'Happy Birthday'.
A little more action from the kazoo
and the mandolin wouldn't have gone amiss though boys.

Who Says Romance Is Dead?
There's just me,
Northern Ireland's most famous
moustache-sporting
Manchester United supporting UNICEF ambassador
and the IFTA award-winning hair stylist
(responsible for Bono Vox's 1984 mullet);
seated at a corner table
in a modern trattoria style eaterie,
located in a former wine merchant's cellar
just across from the current seat of the Irish parliament.
I recommend the apricot and pannetone
bread-and-butter pudding with pistachio biscotti ice-cream.

3 Good Reasons Why I Still Heart Girls
Because sometimes
they come with freckles and pierced tongues.
Because sometimes they have
caramelised and porridge-thick Northern accents
and know just how to carry off a fringe.
Because sometimes
they possess the kind of eyes capable of detonating planets.

Cultivating A Samson Complex
If Samson had been
a supporting-actor in a BBC police drama
and marooned in Dublin for the weekend,
instead of some biblical hero of the Israelites
famed for wrestling lions
and slaying armies with naught but donkey's jawbones,
maybe he would've consoled himself
over the loss of his seven locks of hair
by ordering a chilli cheese dog and a hot slice of pie
in a themed American diner at the posh end of town.
Maybe they wouldn't have
put his eyes out and placed him in chains?
Maybe I should buy myself a wig?
