Tumblr media
Stephen Rea will receive the Lifetime Achievement Award
"And cinema can be added to that list because of the special energy of John Boorman who produced Neil Jordan's first film Angel. And to my astonishment, my first film too. Neil thrust the script and a saxophone into my hands and suddenly I was in the movies. Well, one really original movie, which was at the beginning of a new confidence in Irish cinema.
"And now many films later, IFTA have, equally surprisingly, offered me a Lifetime Achievement Award. A lifetime of collaboration with the most generous and creative artists you could ever work with. And hang out with. Thanks to all of them. Thank you IFTA."

Happy birthday Robert Carlyle, born in Maryhill, Glasgow April 14th 1961.
Bobby was brought up in Glasgow, the son of Elizabeth, a bus company employee, and Joseph Carlyle, a painter and decorator. His mother left when Carlyle was four years old and his dad looked after him from then. He left school at the age of 16 without any qualifications and worked for his father as a painter and decorator; however, he continued his education by attending night classes at Cardonald College in Glasgow.
Carlyle became involved in drama at the Glasgow Arts Centre at the age of 21 (having been inspired by reading Arthur Miller's The Crucible), and subsequently graduated from the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama. In 1991, he and four friends founded a theatre company, Raindog (named after Tom Waits' album "Rain Dog," one of Carlyle's favorites) (a company dedicated to innovative work then, which is now primarily involved in television and film work), and guest starred in The Bill. The same year he starred in his first movie, Riff-Raff, directed by Ken Loach.
I first noticed Carlyle in the excellent ITV series Cracker, as murderer Albert "Albie" Kinsella, it wasn't long after this he had a series of his own with Hamish McBeth, the dope smoking village bobby in a quiet Scottish town on the west coast, the series ran for three seasons from 1995 to 1997.
Since then Robert Carlyle has been able to pick and choose his roles, his films include, The World is Not Enough, Plunkett & Macleane, Ravenous, 28 Weeks later and of course as Francis "Franco" Begbie in the two Trainspotting films.
On the small screen we have seen him in as the title role in Adolf : The Rise of Evil, Human Trafficking and The Last Enemy on this side of the Atlantic, in the US he has starred in the TV movie 24, SGU Stargate Universe and the continuing Once Upon a Time..
The third season of British political thriller-drama COBRA is due on our screens in the coming months
Recently we saw the TV series of the popular film, The Full Monty, which surprised me of how good it was. In February Carlyle commented on X/Titter about a Simpsons episode Ae Bonny Romance, which aired last December. In one scene, audiences are shown an airline called “Planespotting”, with the plane including a picture of Carlyle’s character Begbie on its tail! Robbert tweeted "My life is complete.." As well as the nod, the episode featured the voices of actors Karen Gillan, David Tennant and Paul Higgins.
Robbiewas lastsen in the movvie, The Performance about an American Jew and gifted tap dancer while on tour in Europe, Harold and the rest of his troupe are scouted by a German attaché who leads the troupe to an exclusive performance for Hitler himself. Next up is a mini-series Toxic Town about the tragic toxic waste case in the East Midlands and three mothers fighting for the justice for the rates of upper limb defects in babies born in Corby were subsequently found to be three times higher than those of children born.

"La belleza es a menudo encontrada en los lugares más inesperados y distorsionados, si tenemos la mente abierta para verla" - Edward Kinsella III
Las ilustraciones de Edward Kinsella se caracterizan por una técnica meticulosa y detallada, sobria en su composición pero cargada de sentido. Sus obras están inspiradas en la naturaleza y en la fauna, y otras se centran en temas humanos y culturales, teniendo el elemento de la distorsión siempre cómo algo característico de su estilo.
Sus imagenes le apuestan a la representación surrealista y abstracta de la "desorganización corporal", para ello el artista utiliza una amplia gama de técnicas como la acuarela, el lápiz, la tinta y la pintura digital. Sus composiciones son ampliamente conocidas por su estilo revelado en el juego de luz y sombra, de plano y profundidad.
Tumblr media
Sus retratos son especialmente llamativos por el aura que capturan y por el dinamismo que presentan; un aura medio oscura, medio reveladora: cómo la experiencia de mirar al vacío. Kinsella tiene una habilidad especial para crear monstruos, usando solo unos pocos tonos y trazos, el artista crea inquietantes retratos e ilustraciones que tienen su propio universo y que son aparentemente simples, pero totalmente cerebrales.
El uso de una morfología similar a la del rostro humano, pero distorsionada o reorganizada, produce una sensación de extrañeza y de similitud al mismo tiempo, pues al ser contemplado el rostro en mutación y en nueva organicidad, se pone en tensión el asunto del cuerpo y la percepción sensorial. Es un rostro distribuido distinto, pero rostro al final.
Sus retratos presentan rostros humanos que han sido estirados, comprimidos o distorsionados de alguna manera para crear un efecto visual que inquieta y desconcierta al espectador. Al ver estas imágenes es casi inevitable tener la sensación de estar mirando hacia adentro, como si ese ser estuviese suspendido en su emoción, o incluso estarse mirando a uno mismo en estadios psicológicos diversos.
Tumblr media
Kinsella ha explicado que su interés en los retratos distorsionados se inspiró en la forma en que las emociones y la experiencia pueden alterar nuestra percepción de los demás. Al distorsionar los rasgos faciales en sus ilustraciones, Kinsella busca crear una sensación de extrañeza y desconexión con la forma natural o reconocida del cuerpo, para así evidenciar corporalidades afectivas y emocionales.
Su estilo a menudo incluye elementos fantásticos y surreales que movilizan la realidad y nos invitan a imaginar otro mundo y en el caso del cuerpo, nuestro cuerpo emocional, el cual cambia, y de acuerdo a ese cambio, percibimos el afuera
Algunas de las técnicas que utiliza para crear estos retratos incluyen la superposición de capas, la manipulación digital y el uso de patrones y texturas. En general, sus retratos distorsionados son un ejemplo de su estilo distintivo y su habilidad para crear imágenes que desafían las expectativas sobre la representación y estimulan la imaginación sobre las posibilidades del cuerpo y la dimensión emocional.
Tumblr media
Para finalizar esta nota, me parece importante mencionar la similitud de su arte con los retratos de Francis Bacon: en ambos artistas se ve un interés por la representación de la psique humana y la experiencia emocional. Bacon, a mi juicio, representa instantes de transformación y de catarsis: reorganización absoluta, contracciones de sentido, nacimiento y movilización. Por su parte, los retratos de Kinsella representan un cuerpo actual e incluso cómodo, asentado, un cuerpo suspendido y conectado con sus emociones: Es la emoción la que se vuelve rostro, la que define como se ve, cómo se escucha, cómo se siente y se percibe el mundo.

I was underwhelmed by Series 1 of KIN, a by-the-numbers gloomy Irish crime drama leavened only by the presence of Clare Dunne and Ciarán Hinds. However, after enduring the agonizing season finales of FOR ALL MANKIND and MONARCH: LEGACY OF MONSTERS, I thought some basic storytelling competence would be a worthwhile change of pace, so I reluctantly put on Series 2 of KIN.
Unfortunately, I quickly realized that writer Peter McKenna had decided to liven things up with a veritable container ship load of intensely toxic masculinity, in the form of Francis Magee as newly released family patriarch Bren Kinsella, who immediately seeks to put the Clare Dunne character in her place while urging all the other male characters to outbursts of brutal macho horseshit. I guess it's livelier than S01, but if this brand of "Just be a fookin' man!" masculinity squicks you, S02 is like having diesel exhaust pumped directly into your home. Magee's character does make Charlie Cox and Aidan Gillen seem less unbearable than in the first season, but at what cost? Worse, the plot is still straight from the Planet of Gloomy Crime Drama Clichés. It might be more endurable if it had even one original idea, but I'm still waiting.

Just noticed that Michael’s father, Bren, is an earring-wearer. 👀
If Bren - who called Frank a “windy c*nt” who looks like “a hairdresser” (sorry, he’s a nasty piece of work, but I still can’t help laughing at that one *coughs*) - can get away with wearing an earring, then I have to ask, where’s Michael’s?? 
I, for one, vote that Mikey ought to break out an earring from time to time! 😎☝️

Hammer House of Horror: The Silent Scream (1.7, ITC, 1980)
"Oh no, they are not tame. These are wild animals."
"But how? How did you get them?"
"I caught them."
"You caught them?"
"It only takes the right bait. Lay the right bait, and almost any creature will walk in of its own accord."
#hammer house of horror#horror tv#The silent scream#Single play#classic tv#1980#ITC#Francis Essex#alan gibson#peter cushing#brian cox#Elaine Donnelly#Antony Carrick#Robin Browne#Terry Kinsella#Ahhh the other 'big' episode after the house that Bled to death. And no wonder! The big PC himself! With Chris Lee#Cushing is the name most closely associated with Hammer so getting him must have been a pretty high priority when ITC set this series in#Motion but i doubt it was considered a sure thing; although he'd started on TV back in the early 50s Cushing only took a handful of roles#In the medium after the 1960s. His last TV work would have been the new avengers some 4 years earlier (where he played a German; this seems#To have been a recurring theme in his later work (see also his Tales of the Unexpected from 83). He's very good here tho very sinister and#Unpleasant. It's a pretty original idea too and quite unlike the preceding eps. The twists aren't exactly shocking and come along about#Where you would expect them to but j have to give them props for that ending; probably the darkest and most horrible of all the eps I've#Seen so far. It put me in mind instantly of The Snorkel one of Hammer's earliest forays into psychohorror and which was originally scripted#To end with the villain trapped alive under some floorboards in an empty house waiting to die. Someone behind the scenes got cold feet and#Insisted on a new scene where the heroine alerts the police to his location and I've always felt like that inadvertently gutted Hammer of#Their most powerful and disturbing ending to a film. It almost feels like someone at the studio finally got to right that wrong from over#20 years earlier.

Rating: 3/5
Book Blurb: A touching and witty novel about a woman who takes an impulsive trip to England to meet the man behind the voice she’s fallen for. 
From the author of the PopSugar Beach Reads Selection Instamom, this book is perfect for fans of Kate Clayborn, Christina Lauren, and Sophie Kinsella.
Gigi Rutherford loves love stories. She reads them, she sells them at her romance bookstore, and she could spend hours imagining the meet-cutes of every couple she encounters. But when it comes to her own love interests, Gigi is out of stock. Instead of enduring bad date after bad date, these days she’d rather curl up with her favorite audiobook and the only man who makes her heart skip a beat: Zane Wilkenson, the smooth-voiced narrator Gigi is convinced is her soulmate.Then, she’s presented with the chance of a lifetime: a ten-day bus tour through the English countryside, an ocean away from her bookstore—all in the presence of Zane, in person, as he leads the tour.But when Gigi arrives at the bus terminal in London, Zane is nowhere to be found. Until he shows up, she’s stuck with an eclectic group of fellow travelers: recently widowed and chatty Charlotte;trivia-obsessed Francis; Jenny, a true-crime-makeup YouTuber documenting every detail for her subscribers; and Sindhi and Roshi, a long-married couple who can’t stop bickering. Then there’s the brooding bus driver, Taj, who Gigi finds infuriating yet also incredibly alluring . . .With heart and charm, warmth and humor, Chantel Guertin explores the meaning of love and family—and how, sometimes, the journey to yourself is where you’ll find everything you’ve been searching for.
Review:
Gigi is a romantic, her parents have the ultimate love story, she owns a romance bookstore, and she’s madly in love with the narrator of the romance audiobook she’s been obsessed with. Gigi Rutherford hasn’t had much luck in the romance department because she’s in love with Zane Wilkenson, the narrator of a book, and she’s convinced he is her soulmate, her friends buy her a 10 day trip to the english countryside with a tour guide... who is Zane. Gigi can’t wait, this could be the start of her love story, all she has to do is meet him and she knows they’ll have the perfect love story... except things get off onto a rough start as she arrives late, finds out that Zane is nowhere to be found, and theres a grumpy but cute bus driver who gets under her skin. Now she is stranded on this tour with an eclectic group of fellow travelers and has to figure out what her next step is, all the while she begins to spend more time with Taj, the grumpy bus driver who might have more to him than she realized. Gigi will have to ask herself what her happy ending truly is and if being in love with someone she’s never met but built an entire fantasy around is actually real... and when she does meet Zane if he is actually the guy she thinks he is or if Taj is the one she’s been looking for all along. The story was okay, albeit a bit cheesy but overall okay, it just didn’t catch me that much and for such a cute premise I thought I would have been hooked immediately but unfortunately it did not. Don’t get me wrong, it’s sweet in some of the parts but in other parts the drama felt unnecessary and overall it was an okay romance read. 
*Thanks Netgalley and Kensington Books, Kensington for sending me an arc in exchange for an honest review*
