In 1952, film director Elia Kazan identified eight former communists in the film industry before the House Committee of Un-American Activities and was an act that left him alienated from the art world and brought him many a critic. In response to those critics, Kazan adapted a screenplay by Arthur Miller and turned it into this piece of cinema, a story about a man who decides to bring a corrupt and violent longshoremen union to justice in Red Hook, Brooklyn, a man who is initially made a pariah but eventually seen as a hero by his fellow workers. Miller, who was a critic of Kazan, responded to this with A View from the Bridge, a play also about longshoremen in Red Hook but this time having a man ruin the life of a duo of poor Italian immigrants who had come to the country illegally, in that play he tells the police of the immigrants for purely selfish reasons and is a pariah once more. The two make an interesting double act and help build context for each other. On the Waterfront is a film is full of great actors but the stand out is most definitely Marlon Brando as our main character, Terry Malloy, he’s great for reasons that our difficult to understand today. Before this time, the majority of actors came from the stage, and acting in plays is wholly different

from films, plays require you to emote with your body, to keep your voice loud no matter how quiet the scene is, in cinema the emotions that a stage actor would need to portray with their entire body can be condensed into the face, actors on camera are afforded the convenience of increased subtlety but it took until Brando for this to happen. His subtlety is his strength; he could never have played on the stage. The arc of Terry is traditional, he begins the film not evil but working for the union, falls for a woman and then decides to renounce his old ways, thankfully the character is so well written that you barely notice this tired arc, he is a man brought low by his brother and the mafia, brought down to their level and forced to survive. The cinematography is excellent and requires multiple viewings to truly appreciate: pay attention to when the film uses POV shots. One of my favourite shots is its final one, its use of sharp angles and large unmoving spaces feels like a true closing, the film is stopping now. I may not agree with Kazan’s decisions and the reasons why he made this, but that doesn’t make it any less of a superb piece of art, On the Waterfront is one of the best and most influential films ever made.

Sometimes it’s easy to forget how far art has come in the last 100 years, when this poem was ﬁrst released in 1915 it wasn’t even considered poetry, poetry has structure and metre said the critics, and nowadays Eliot and many of his contemporaries are considered some of the greatest and most inﬂuential poets of all time. Hysteria was written in free verse, a style of poetry with little to no rhyming, the structure is erratic and spasmodic, it makes use of then innovative techniques like incorporating speech into poetry and can be cacophonic to read; Eliot was only 27 when he wrote this poem and it is clear he is still developing his signature style. Now despite all this, Hysteria is actually quite simple for modernism, which I’m aware is like saying Tipperary is easy to play in hurling because Kilkenny exists but there really isn’t that much that’s difficult here. The poem simply describes a moment of hysteric laughter. The narrator is in fact so

enamoured by this that he doesn’t even hear the waiter, instead hearing him as an echo as the line ‘If the lady and gentleman wish to take their tea in the garden’ is repeated twice in a row. The poem starts with ‘as she laughed’ which is a strangely jarring way to commence, as if it had been already going on for a few lines before we

7KH 3KDUF\GH %L]DUUH 5LGH ,, WKH 3KDUF\GH

started reading; she laughs and then Eliot begins to laugh as he is ‘becoming involved in her/ laughter and being part of it’. Eliot goes on to describe how he disappears down her throat (ﬁguratively, probably) as the poem progresses, he becomes the laughter, telling the story from the perspective of personiﬁed laughter; this poem seems to describe what may have been simply a few seconds that resonated deeply in Eliot. It is unclear whether it is the woman, the narrator or both who are undergoing this hysteria, both the start and the end could imply any of these three possibilities, though in 1915 hysteria was still considered by some to only affect females. 1915 saw many of Eliot’s most wellknown poems being released but Hysteria has always been one I particularly enjoyed, its modernist but accessible, full of depth that can be analysed but also so simple on its surface; simply a fantastic piece of work.

Bizarre Ride II: the Pharcyde is a sort of dead-end album, one with a unique sound in a unique place that could have been highly influential if anyone else had bothered to copy it but instead just exists as something that’s brilliant and has a somewhat important point in the genre’s history. Bizarre Ride was an alternative hip-hop album that came from Los Angeles California in 1992, East and West coast divides were still highly pronounced by this stage and Alternative was almost completely an East coast genre, the West coast was living in the shadow of NWA with G-Funk in its earliest stages. Bizarre Ride didn’t fit in with Alt staples like A Tribe Called Quest or De La Soul or with West coast groups; in many ways the sound sits in between the two and in other ways it’s wholly separate. The album’s producer was J-Swift who decided on beats that were certainly poppy but not obviously so, the type of sounds that take a listen or two to really start appreciating; this could be attributed to the fact that there is always a lot going on, different samples and skits entering and exiting, different emcees, until you get to grips with it the album can be almost disorientating. The number of emcees is four, all are *wildly* unique to a fascinating extent; I mean I’ve listened to 36 chambers dozens of times and still have trouble identifying who is performing on this song or the other, on Bizarre Ride I could tell the various members apart from the first time listening. The album has a lot of quirk going for it and is incredibly silly and playful; full of jokes, bursting with character, there is just no

album that sounds like this. Bands like The Pharcyde could have been where the Westcoast Hip-Hop was heading, instead, Dr Dre released The Chronic three weeks after this and completely changed the areas direction; G-Funk was probably the biggest hip-hop trend of the 90s. Maybe this was for the best, Pharcyde were deﬁnitely different from other Alternative groups but G-Funk simply could not have been produced in New York; regardless Bizarre Ride II: The Pharcyde is an incredible album, possibly the best to come out of the alternative hip-hop genre, and I highly recommend it.

)LOP %R\KRRG Boyhood is the best film I’ve seen so far this year. Let’s start there. Something easily could come along and unseat Richard Linklater’s film from this perch. The year’s only half over, and I fully expect several incredible films to come along and try. But at the moment, this is the most ingenious, most effective, most experimental, most unpredictable, most demanding, most rewarding and most enjoyable movie I’ve screened. What I can’t quite put my finger on is whether I appreciate Boyhood for what it attempts, or for what it actually accomplishes. The answer, I’m sure, is a little bit of both. Prior to Boyhood, Richard Linklater was best known for the rambling, conversational Before trilogy – a series of films that periodically checked in with star-crossed soul mates Jesse (Ethan

6QRZSLHUFHU After much debate about what cut American audiences would see of Bong Joon-ho’s English language debut, Snowpiercer is here and it’s chilling, mesmerizing, and absolutely sensational. Loosely based on the French graphic novel Le Transperceneige, Snowpiercer takes place in a not-so-distant future where the Earth has been quickly overtaken by a new Ice Age. All life has been wiped out as cold and has overtaken every continent – that is, save for those few remnants of humanity who made it aboard Snowpiercer, the titular train that ceaselessly circles the globe while its insides fester with class conﬂict and revolt. Eighteen years have passed since the last scraps of humanity boarded this massive vessel, and while those in the front live lives of luxury – enjoying sushi and spa treatments – those in the back are forced to ﬁght for space and feed on an uninviting brown brick of gelatin called a protein block. All in all, Snowpiercer is extraordinary, and it’s a crime that it’s being lost in the shuffle amid bigger, showier summer blockbusters. Bong Joon-ho has

manifested a textured and compelling world, ﬁlled with characters who demand our attention and empathy. Its production design is so detailed that the train itself should be counted as a character. You could easily get lost in the art design alone. This is a dark, but deeply beautiful movie, punctuated by

edge-of-your-seat thrills and unexpected laughs. Admittedly, there are a few plot holes along the way, but by and large, Snowpiercer is riveting, hugely entertaining, and unforgettable. I fear it won’t get the attention it deserves this summer. But if there’s any justice in cinema, it will eventually be recognized as a sci-ﬁ epic it is.

Hawke) and Celine (Julie Delpy) over the course of their rambling, uncharted relationship. And it’s that loose, free-flowing structure that informs and guides Boyhood, only on an expansive scale that allows for more pockets of honest introspection stretched over a larger (and, you’d think, impossible), time span. Maybe we shouldn’t be so surprised. After all, if we have been paying even the slightest bit of attention to the ear and the eye Linklater lent to his spectacular, in-the-moment slice of life Before films, then we know that he’s capable of questioning life’s various left turns in a rambling, eclectic and ongoing cinematic conversation. And that’s what Boyhood offers. Instead of struggling to tell one overreaching narrative, it picks and chooses its moments to reflect the life of a fractured

(but evolving) family, where divorced parents – only known by the universal monikers Mom (Arquette) and Dad (Hawke) – try to raise two children in the smoothest and choppiest of situations. Is it our journey, as well? Not always, but often. Fluid and signiﬁcant, Boyhood exists as both a time capsule of one person’s life, and a blue print for how many of us have, will or could spend our formative years. I screened Boyhood at the South By Southwest ﬁlm festival in March. I’ve thought about it every other day since. It’s that kind of movie, a stunning work of art that lingers – and improves – in the memories. The magic of Boyhood, I believe, will be in the way it speaks so softly, and says so little, yet will be heard – in so many different ways – by all who choose to listen.

Charming, elegant, stylish, romantic and merger-making Libra Your ruling planet is Venus, your best day of the week is Friday and your colours are gentle hues of blues, pinks and violets. Pluto’s passage through Capricorn until 2024 is shaking your very foundation. Mesmerising, insightful, determined, resourceful and focused Scorpio Your ruling planets are Mars and Pluto, your best day of the week is Tuesday and your colours deep, deep red and black. Saturn is moving through your sign until late 2014. View this as a long period of self-investment. Financial confusion is possible. The actual terms of an agreement might not be clear. Preoccupation with insurance and savings is likely. You could also have dealings with those concerned with wills and legacies. A curious romantic twist is possible. Your ruling planet, Saturn, stations next Sunday (20th) and from then is direct until it leaves Scorpio in December. You could feel the effect of this early on - perhaps even on Monday when discussions could take an interesting turn and where your place within a team is made clear. Quirky, determined, logical, eccentric and freedom-loving Aquarius. Your ruling planets are Saturn and Uranus. Your best day of the week is Saturday and your best colours are electric or deep, rich blue and anything metallic. Saturn is passing through another of the Fixed signs. Intuitive, sensitive, big-picture thinking, kind and thoughtful Pisces. Your ruling planets are Jupiter and Neptune. Your best day of the week is Thursday and your best colours are those of the sea: blue, green, lavender and silver. Slow moving Neptune is in your sign through to 2024.

TOP TEN

1 2 3 4 5

Business of the week Jack N Jills Jack N Jills is a salon located on Upper Patrick Street that has now seen 25 years of successful business in Kilkenny and is guaranteed many to come. The thing that sets Jack N Jills apart is its towering level of expertise and experience, the salon is currently under the leadership of Aoife

Lennon, a woman born into a family of hairdressers and has spent years in different salons all across the country, her inclusion along with the equally experienced staff means that there is no parallel to Jack N Jills in this county, I recommend it.

Song of the week Jungle: Time Jungle are a London based dance band that have just recently released a catchy new single by the name of ‘Time’. The band have many similarities with soul bands and also incorporate elements of funk, techno and yes indeed, Jungle, into their songs. The song wastes no time

in commencing, it features this descending bass, complimented by backing vocals and occasional guitar, it creates this highly infectious atmosphere, like a disco song in many ways, it’s a brilliant dance song that deserves your attention if you are a fan of the genre.

Gig of the week Hans Chew Hans Chew are an American band from New York that play America style folky rock music, in many ways reminiscent of The Rolling Stones Exile on Main St. and Bruce Springsteen but with a greater importance being placed on instrumentals and a strong

sense of experimentalism, he has just released his second album, a great piece of music that may even surpass his excellent debut, they will be playing at Cleeres on the ﬁrst of August, the gig will start at 21:30 and cost €15, I recommend it.

Festival of the week Kilkenny Arts Festival Still on the horizon but not for long, the Kilkenny Arts Week is one of the most enjoyable and fascinating activities of the year and one you should deﬁnitely take part in. The week lasts from the 8th to the 17th August. Activities already announced include outdoor Shakespeare plays, every

Event of the week Kilkenny Triathlon Kilkenny Triathlon is a triathlon that will be hosted by TriGrandPrix Ireland and will be in support of Cycle Against Suicide. There are a host of different activities you can take part in for whatever suits your physical capabilities; there is the Olympic distance of a 1500m swim, 43km bike and

10.2km run; the ChooseToTry triathlon which is shorter, the Super Sprint Duathlon with no swimming or the cycling only Cycle Against Suicide. The event will take place next Saturday, Lower John Street, I highly recommend everyone takes part.

type of music from spoken word to baroque art, and the Pentalum, a giant luminarium highly popular last year. I highly recommend anyone interested in art and Kilkenny to take part in this festival (note: the best place to advertise your exhibitions is obviously the Kilkenny Reporter).

Lifestyle & Living Shovel Knight Shovel Knight is a new indie game developed for Wii U, 3DS and PC that is one of the best games to come out so far this year. The game is a throwback to the age of the 8-Bit 80s, making it a nostalgia product for those who experienced that period but thankfully Shovel Knight is also a great game in and of itself with ﬂuid movement

and combat and is absolutely bursting with ideas and creativity. What the press has seemingly now decided to call ‘The Indie Gaming Revolution’ has produced many a throwback but Shovel Knight transcends almost all, the 2D platformer hasn’t been this good in a while, I recommend this game wholeheartedly.

App of the week Skyscanner Skyscanner is a free app for both android and apple that is actually easier to navigate and use than the base website. The app has a simple function: Put in any two airports (or city’s if they have multiple airports) and the app will give you a list of different companies and times that will give you

the ﬂight, along with the prices and ﬂight information. The listings are thorough, taking into account the possibility of long layovers with different companies and it is very helpful if you are trying to organize a holiday. I recommend it.

Film of the week Begin Again Begin Again is the newest ﬁlm by Irish director John Carney, famous for 2006’s ‘Once’, this latest ﬁlm is somewhat similarly themed but is also a good movie in and of itself and one worth watching. The biggest difference this time is that the action has been moved from Dublin to New York and a bunch of unknowns have been replaced with some big stars; Mark

Ruffalo, Mos Def and Kiera Knightley all are featured, the ﬁlm is a romantic comedy about a disgraced record executive previously featured in Rolling Stone and a young singersongwriter in Manhattan, there isn’t really anything here that wouldn’t have been more relevant before John Carney was even born but it’s a good ﬁlm nonetheless, I recommend it.

DVD of the week The Lego Movie The Lego Movie is as big as a surprise as has been seen this year so far. It is a ﬁlm that both Warner Bros. and the Lego corporation themselves had every reason to stay safe with but instead we have before us this wacky and hilarious ﬁlm that could be the best children’s movie to come out since Toy Story 3 back in 2010. It creates this entire lego world and puts our main character, played by Chris Pratt, at the centre of

Album of the Week Ben Frost: AURORA Ben Frost is a musician born in the sunny haven of Australia who decided that he would rather live in the icy and detached world of Reykjavík, Iceland instead; anyone who would do anything this masochistic must be at least interesting to listen to, thankfully this is the case, AURORA is a fantastic album. This album is not suitable for summer, its sound is dark, industrial, ambient, and impossibly cold, much in the same vein as artists like Tim Hecker. I recommend AURORA.

an endless struggle between the wizard Vitruvius (Morgan Freeman) and President Business (Will Ferrell). It all sounds idiotic and clichéd up front but the ﬁlm has this strange way of both admiring and satirizing its premise without taking away from the drama; it’s impossible to think of how it works but it does. The Lego Movie is the best movie to come out this year so far and I highly recommend buying or renting the DVD.

*ROI 1RWHV Callan Lady Captains Prize Kathleen Phelans Ladies Captains Prize was played out in beautiful conditions in Callan last Saturday and produced a fine winning performance. Caroline Sommers played some excellent golf to take her first major with a fine 66 which left a field of near 100 ladies behind. It was a score worthy of the wonderful occassion as the ladies turned out in great numbers to celebrate Kathleens big day. Mandy O Brien was second with a fine 67 while Bernie Madigan took the gross honours with an excellent 79. Mary Barry was third beating Pauline O Brien (4th) and Bea O Donovan(5th) on a countback. The back and front nines went to Ailish Carey and Margaret O Dwyer while the best 36 went to Eileen Connick. Other prize winners were Jean Grace (Past Captains), Monica Leyden (Senior Prize), Liz Cashin (Nearest the pin), Helena McCormack (Longest Drive), Ann Needham (Beginners Comp.) while Lorraine O Donovan, Ann Hickey and Eileen McGrath took the putting competition. If the health of a club can be measured by participation and attendance at the major competitions and socials that follow then the Callan Ladies section is in rude health with a record entry and a fantastic attendance afterwards. Kathleen s family were very welcome guests and added hugely to the day especially with Kathleens Mum who is in her 90s joining all those who honoured the captain. Kathleen has been a wonderfully dedicated member of our club for many years and her speech was the highpoint of the day and a wonderful summation of an unforgetable day for Callans ladies. Well done to all who helped make the day so special for Kathleen and most importantly well done to Caroline for her brilliant win.

Martins Captains Prize Martin Maher presents his Captains Prize to the lucky winner next Sunday night. There is an 18 hole qualiﬁer Friday, Saturday and Sunday followed by a playoff on Sunday evening over 9 holes to decide who will carry the day. A huge entry is expected and names must be on the timesheet by Thursday morning when a redraw will take place and be posted on the website Thursday evening. Please come along and support our Captain who has been a wonderful ambassador for the club. There will be a social team event on Sunday evening in conjunction with the playoff and a social to follow. It promises to be a great few days for Callan golf club and the blue riband of the golﬁng year.

Duggan Cup Callan are into the last 4 of the Duggan Cup following a brilliant victory on Saturday evening over local rivals Castlecomer. Castlecomer are always worthy opponents and when John Grace and Peter Ryan were defeated in Callan it looked bleak but stunning victories in Comer on the 19th hole for two Callan pairs swung the tide. John Doheny, paired with Tony O Driscoll and Paddy Donovan, paired with Kevin O Driscoll showed great resolve to win both their games in extra holes much to the delight of manager Liam Brennan. Liam had partnered Pat Cunningham (Intermediate Scratch Cup winner last weekend) to win their game on the 16th while Jimmy Dunne and Denis Collins also sealed a win on the same hole. It was a fantastic win for the Callan Duggan Cup side and one which will live long in the memory. Best of luck to the team in the upcoming semi ﬁnal in the coming weeks.

Lotto There was no winner of Callans Club Lotto this week with 4,9,22 the numbers drawn. The 3 Lucky Dip winners were Mary B Walsh, Danny Keogh and Elma O Mahony with next weeks Jackpot an incredible 4750.

Donal McInerney Memorial Mens’ Singles With the course in magnificent condition and the weather holding fair there was a huge turn out for the Donal McInerney Memorial Singles . The scoring was excellent as players battled for the honour of winning one of the top events of the year and a chance to lift the beautiful Donal McInerney perpetual cup. Some great shots were played. Early Sunday morning, Murty Coonan holed his five iron second shot to the long 16th. This great shot was surpassed in the afternoon when popular mens’ secretary Matt Dooley had a brilliant hole in one on the par 3 15th. Matt hit an eight iron to the green which rolled out a few feet and into the cup for a memorable hole in one. The honour of winning the event went to Shane Rice. Shane playing off a handicap of 17 finished in magnificent style. He birdied 16, pared 17 and then birdied 18 to return 42 pts. Shane needed his late heroics as both Vincent Dwyer and Paul Campion returned great scores of 41 pts. Later that evening the McInerney family presented the winners with their prizes. We thank Ann McInerney and her family for their continued sponsorship of this great competition. 1. Shane Rice (17) 42 pts. 2. Vincent Dwyer (14) 41 pts b 6 . Gross Michael Buggy (-1) 35 pts Cat 1.

Ladies The big event of the golfing year happens on 15th and 19th of July. The lady Captains prize competition honours Lady Captain Ita Madigan. Representing the club on teams, as a sideline supporter and as an embassador, Lady Captain Ita is well loved and well respected as an individual and as the admirable Lady Captain she is. Fine weather is likely for the fixture and all ladies will certainly bring their best golf for the stroke play 36 hole competition. For sure, each and all will be trying their best to win the coveted prize or to feature on Lady Captain Ita’s evening of celebration on Saturday 19th. After the golf, the order of the day is for lovely food, music and dancing in honour of the wonderful event for the dedicated Lady Captain Ita. The ladies weekend competition of 12th/13th enjoyed fine weather and beautiful playing conditions on the course. Susan Boland won first place with 38pts narrowly beating the score of 37pts registered by Ann Ring. In third place was Mary Brophy with a score of 36pts. The Boyne team have advanced to the quarter final stage after their win against Templemore. Three pairs, Emer Foley & Nuala Mahon, Kathleen Ryan & Joan Brennan and Lady Vice-Captain Patricia Doheny & Betty Byrne played their matches in Castlecomer. The pairings of Noreen Kinsella & Teresa Manning and Lady Captain Ita Madigan and Joan Coonan travelled to Templemore. With two wins at home and one away, the victory had

the last match called in. The quarter final is next for the Castlecomer Boyne team when they meet the qualifying team from Borris. The club are very pleased and proud of the good golf exhibited by the Castlecomer team throughout the tournament so far. The team coordination, selection and encouragement has paid off well for the work done by managers Teresa Manning and Helen Murphy. Following the winning example of the Boyne team, the Finn team took to the fairways in Castlecomer on the 10th. Playing against Woodbrook, with all matches on home turf for the team, victory was once again achieved. The standard of golfing ability and cooperative joint effort among the pairings has been exemplary on Wednesday 10th, and in the previous matches played to advance the Finn team this far. Managers Honoria Fogarty and Ann Ring have been inspirational for the Finn team through the selection process and combination of pairings as well as participants leading by good golfing example. The pairings for the victorious Finn team were Honoria Fogarty & Betty Owens, Maria Downey & Ann Ring, Joan Brennan & Lorretta Mansfield, Breda Phelan & Nuala Mahon and Lady Vice Captain Patricia Doheny & Delia O’Donoghue. The Finn team go on to play against New Ross in the semi-final on a home and away basis. The successful Castlecomer team spirit won through also in the mixed team who met and beat Rathdowney. The team progress to the Leinster semi final on 19th August when they play Slade Valley in Balbriggan. It is no surprise to see some familiar ladies names gracing this mixed team which has also achieved so well. The pairings are Michael Buggy & Ann Ring, Michael Minogue & Hanoria Fogarty, Victor Smith & Joan Brennan, Jason Brennan & Betty Owens, Ken Hovedend & Maria Downey. The commitment and dedication of team players is much appreciated by all in the club. The contribution of effort, time and practice given by the players for the benefit of the Castlecomer club is hugely admirable and deserving of the gratitude and thankfulness from all in the club. It has not gone unnoticed, as the good results indicate, and which all in the club appreciate and applaud.
