GARAGE the new film by Leonard Abrahamson and Mark Halloran is coming to cinemas in Ireland on October the 5th.

Regarded by his neighbours as a harmless misfit, Josie (Pat Shortt) has spent all his adult life as the caretaker of a crumbling petrol station on the outskirts of a small town in the mid-west of Ireland. He is limited, lonely, yet relentlessly optimistic and, in his own peculiar way, happy. GARAGE follows Josie’s hapless search for intimacy over the course of a summer which sees his life changed forever.

While it isn’t playing for laughs to the same extent as the creators previous film Adam & Paul, it’s still pretty funny, albeit in a fairly understated way. The trailer below, sums it up pretty well, and while Garage is a bit harrowing at times, it’s all in all well worth checking out.

Bif sent me an email telling me to watch a YouTube clip he’d found. I was surprised to find, essentially, the Hollywood movie version of one of our cartoons!

You know.. this one:

I forgive them for stealing our idea*, because they also made this beauty - ‘the slow jerk clip‘

The Whitest Kids U Know also made a courtroom clip which I thought might interest John from Hammergrin as he was involved in penning something along similar lines… though I prefer Hammergrin’s somewhat darker sketch…

* - yes of course I know they didn’t steal our idea.

Yes boys and girls the man who brought us almost as much awkward comedy as Larry David is to make a feature film. Ricky Gervais is to co-direct and co-write with someone called Matt Robinson. Anyone have any ideas who he is?

“This Side of the Truth” is set in a contemporary world where no one has ever lied. Gervais will play a performer who tells the first lie and harnesses its power for personal gain.

And here’s the dance from The Office…

I believe that Of Montreal played Electric Picnic, but I didn’t know them so I didn’t see them… judging by this song and music video, I’d say they were good fun! Can anyone confirm?
