Ian Farrell of Fennelly Fitness & Kilkenny Powerlifting Club, (KPC) won the teenage category of the World Single Lift Powerlifting Championships in Dusseldorf. Ian is one of the top up-andcoming young teenage lifters. He competed in the 82.5kg Teenage category (T2). He has only recently turned 17, weighed in at 77kg and Deadlifted 210kg. Also competing at the championships from Fennelly Fitness/KPC were Kilkenny men, David Bracken, Eamonn Roche and David Jones, although the lads didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get a similar result, they are also promising young lifters whose dedication and hard training have done the club proud.

7KH 5RYHU The opening to David Michod’s visionary The Rover gives only a single title card setting the scene. We’re in the outback, and it’s “ten years after the collapse.” We don’t know, and we don’t ever learn, what this collapse actually is. Of course, the horrifying element that slowly reveals itself is that gradually, things are getting worse. As Guy Pearce’s tipsy straggler listlessly drinks in an abandoned bar in the middle of the desert, the score swells and shakes, blaring like a single air-horn that gets longer each time it plays. It’s last call in the world’s ﬁnal bar. Pearce’s Eric is too groggy to see the carnage outside. A brawling trio of criminals have just wrecked their vehicle, and recovered from their accident by absconding with Eric’s four-door. Suddenly, stupor over: Eric pursues the trio in a car chase that’s at once tense and hilariously sensible. As they

pick up the pace, so does Eric in a second car, aggressively following without approaching violence. When they reach out to fire a gun in his direction, he slows down and placidly falls behind. With the accents and location, it feels very much like a rebuttal to Mad Max, in that here is an existence so sparse that taking a life definitively becomes the very last option. The criminals, which include Scoot McNairy as Henry, eventually distance themselves from Eric, who continues at a methodical pace. His shoulders slumped, his patchy facial hair suggesting an indifference to hygiene, Eric seems like a person already defeated, and his only quest is to recover the car. Tracing steps takes him to Rey (Robert Pattinson), Henry’s younger brother. Rey claims he knows where they’re going. Eric takes him on as co-pilot, with gun firmly planted against Rey’s

temple. David Michod made his name with the electrifying family saga Animal Kingdom, a twisty potboiler that depicted the ecosystem of a family of criminals fighting to get to the top of their own food chain. The Rover continues that metaphor: the characters are runty, beatup slabs of meat, reacting instinctually, and frequently non-verbally, to signs of calamity. Michod’s film understands that when petty violence occurs, they are not men asserting themselves, but sad, desperate animals, scurrying to get free. Viewers recall that staggering moment in Animal Kingdom when the drug-addled Sullivan Stapleton staggers out to an open field with the cops in hot pursuit, barefoot, shirtless and desperate. The Rover, while more narrow in focus, continues that single-minded depiction of primal men who can’t seem to escape their limitations.

-XPS 6WUHHW There are dual sensibilities at war in the mildly diverting 22 Jump Street. The first, and most obviously prominent one, are the pressures of making a sequel. You can’t zag where the first film zigged, lest you disappoint fans who assume they know what they’re going to get. If gags worked the first time, they should re-appear, at least in a modified manner to produce an artificial sense of surprise. The whole gang should be back, and their chemistry should carry over. Don’t mess with success. The other sensibility is the satirical one from directors Phil Lord and Chris Miller, who openly acknowledge and mock that first sensibility each chance they get. Several running gags in the first film gently poked fun at the conventions of remaking a notwell-remembered television show into a big screen comedy, while also pushing the noted homoeroticism and gratuitous violence at the heart of most heavily-masculine action pictures. Here, their target is franchises themselves, as they lay waste to the expectations of a follow-up. 22 Jump Street film is bigger and it freely admits it, repetitive and boastful of the fact, and ultimately completely unnecessary. Lord

and Miller have fun with that last insight, but it deﬁnitely feels like the act of two gentle mischief makers let loose on a Hollywood soundstage: any sort of incisive commentary gets buried by the necessity of formula. In 21 Jump Street, the picture seemed to wrap with Schmidt and Jenko trading places. Schlumpy Schmidt (Jonah Hill) became the “popular” one, making friends and getting the girl, and studly Jenko

(Channing Tatum) was lost at sea until developing a new range of nerdy interests to better deﬁne himself. With a somewhat-brilliant closing credits gag that won’t be spoiled here, but which actively mocks franchisebuilding, Belle’s harsh dismissals feel as if somehow Lord and Miller know that they’re wasting their considerable talents on a ﬂimsy premise that has exhausted its own well of jokes.

Business of the week Kilkenny Hypnosis Hypnosis is one of those things that you want to believe doesn’t work and is derided often by those who perceive themselves to be above it but does actually have extremely helpful effects and has helped millions in the past to better

themselves. Thankfully in Kilkenny Hypnosis our city has a great place for hypnosis, whether its trying to quit smoking, lose weight or deal with depression, anxiety or phobias, there is always someone to help you at Kilkenny Hypnosis.

Gig of the week Damien Dempsey Damien Dempsey is a famous Irish musician who is known for his singer songwriter/folk styles as well as his lyrics discussing the pros and cons of contemporary Irish society, his ﬁrst album was released in 2000

and his latest came out in 2012 with a best-of expected for this year. He is a musician deserving of his fame and will be playing at the Set Theatre next Friday starting at 8:30PM, tickets are €22.

Book of the week Elizabeth is Missing Elizabeth is Missing is the newly released debut novel by English author Emma Healey and an absolutely absorbing read that I deﬁnitely recommend. The book is a mystery novel with the twist being that our main character is

an almost 90-yearold woman suffering from either Alzheimer’s or just severe senility, she ﬁnds a compact mirror in her friends garden that she remembered from seventy years ago, from here we have to ask ourselves two

questions: What happened to Maud’s friend Elizabeth who is missing, and what happened with the mirror that she can’t remember? The novel is often tragic but an ultimately amazing debut that I recommend.

TV of the week Louie Season 4 Louie is a sitcom unlike any other on television right now, since 2010 the show has never made a misstep, never fumbled or made something anything other than hilarious and fascinating (ok the pilot’s not that great). The show has the same basic premise as Seinfeld,

Cafe of the week Brunch Cafe Brunch Café located in Hebron is a great location in Kilkenny for some food and also has an extensive catering service that is one of the best in the county. At Brunch Café the food takes precedent above all else, it’s incredible, with

a huge variety all cooked to utter perfection. For catering, the location is famous for its fantastic treatment of requests and excellent service on top of the food, I highly recommend this business, to get into contact call 0567712944.

it’s about the life of comedian Louis (here, Louie) C.K in New York City, throughout he meets strange characters, encounters surreal adventures and performs at a club called the Comedy Cellar. The way the show differs is in its presentation, this isn’t one joke after another all be-

ing part of some cohesive 20 minute story, an episode of Louie is a series of vignettes, some only four or ﬁve minutes, that often just lead up to one joke. It gives the show this surreal, wandering quality that is completely unique, I highly recommend this show.

Lifestyle & Living Stean Summer Sale This week, instead of buying something brand new prepare to lose your life savings in the Steam Summer games sale for PC. The sale on the internet game store is set to start on the 19th and continue on until the 30th of the month, they take place twice a year (the other being at Christmas) and are

famous for their massive slashing on prices on even new games. 2013’s winter sale back in December had Bioshock Inﬁnite for €10, Dark Souls for €6 and Skyrim for €7.50, it’s massive savings, so massive you’ll be in debt by the end as you keep having to buy more and more games.

App of the week VVVVVV VVVVVV was an excellent game when it was released for PC and Mac back in January of 2010, and now ﬁnally we have versions for apple and android products that is just as fun and just as difficult as

the original version. The game is simple, so simple it could have been produced in the 70s on an Atari 2600, you walk down 2D corridors, and press the screen to jump onto the roof and vice versa, you do

this to avoid obstacles and traverse the environment. The game ﬁnds hundreds of ways to use this mechanic in its admittedly short length and is extremely enjoyable to play and replay. I highly recommend this game.

Film of the week 22 Jump Street The newest ﬁlm in the newest crop of Summer comedies is a sequel to 2012’s surprisingly hilarious comedy 21 Jump Street, 22 takes the original and improves upon it greatly, taking clear

inspiration from Edgar Wright’s buddy cop movie Hot Fuzz as well as many others. The ﬁlm is about a duo of cops in the US who have to go undercover in a local college to take down a

vicious crime ring working out of the college. The ﬁlm gets great mileage this time out of metahumour, bringing attention to itself as a sequel, it’s a fun movie that I recommend.

DVD of the week Gravity Though the DVD of Gravity will never be able to capture what made the ﬁlm so special in cinema, it is still an incredible thing to witness that I would highly recommend. Coming from the director of Children of Men, Alfonso Cuarón, and starring Sandra

Album of the Week CLPPNG CLPPNG is an improvement on last year’s Midcity in pretty much every way, the album is more consistent, has more depth, and doesn’t end with ten minutes of someone saying ‘get money get money get money’ over and

over and over again. The band are notable for their combination of gansta rap lyrics with noise and industrial music, the sound is often harsh and clinical which is almost completely unseen in hip-hop, and the MC’s mix

of extremely fast paced rhyming with silly lyrics, seemingly for parody is refreshing and a different way of doing it that you have to appreciate. CLPPNG is one of the best albums of the year so far, I recommend it.

Bullock and George Clooney; Gravity is about a medical engineer and astronaut who must survive together after being left adrift in space. It is a beautiful and engaging work that was one of the best ﬁlms of last year.

Saturn is moving through your sign until late 2014. View this as a long period of self-investment. Thoughts could come flooding in - and, if you wanted to - you could start writing a tome. At a different level, you could also open the social floodgates. Contact with people you see rarely - but who are always delighted to catch up with you. Your imagination is likely to be working over-time: which could be wonderful if you are in advertising or marketing. Working out how to sell an idea to someone who thinks theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re always â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;rightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and whom you know wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t agree with your plans, could also tease your brain cells. 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.

The Apartment was controversial in its time, actor Fred MacMurray was famously accosted in the street by a woman who accused him of making a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;dirty ďŹ lthy movieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and then hit him with her purse; It is not gratuitous or rude but it does openly discuss ideas and themes previously unprecedented in Hollywood and is a deďŹ nitive commentary on its era. The main character of The Apartment is C.C Baxter, an insurance man working in New York City in a building with 31,259 employees and with no cubicle to separate any of the hundreds on each ďŹ&#x201A;oor. The problem with Baxter is that he canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t go home until late at night because he allows his multiple bosses to use his apartment for ďŹ&#x201A;ings in the city before they retreat back to the suburbs to their wives. This is his attempt at getting a promotion, but it quickly gets out of hand with Baxter being told to clear out of his apartment in the middle of the night and having to make complicated schedules for who uses it when. He becomes infatuated with the elevator girl; Fran Kubelik (Shirley Maclaine) but is shocked to ďŹ nd her one day on his bed after swallowing half a bottle of sleeping pills following a break

up with Mr Sheldrake who still wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t leave his wife. The ďŹ lm is a mix of drama and comedy, the ďŹ lmâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s main plot is grim but the ďŹ lm also gets great mileage out of Baxterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s neighbours who think he is having a new woman every night when in actuality he impatiently waits outside in the cold. The writer and director of The Apartment was the ever reliable Billy Wilder who had a skill for making a ďŹ lm with such broad appeal but also being a distinctly unique product that can stand with the best of the eraâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ďŹ lms. Many scenes in The Apartment perfectly capture the feeling of being a small cog in an overbearing large machine from the fact that Baxter has many bosses to the organization of the elevators to the omnipresent noise of his working space due to the hundreds clacking on typewriters and speaking on phones all around him; and the situation is even worse because he canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t go home at night. The Apartment is a product of its time and place, it couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have been made ten years before or ten years later but still manages to craft emotion and character that resonate in 2014, I recommend this ďŹ lm wholeheartedly.

Signs and Symbols is a short story by Russian American author Vladimir Nabokov initially published by the New Yorker in 1948, it is a sombre and melancholic tale that perfectly encapsulates what makes the author one of the best of the twentieth century. The story focuses on an unnamed elderly couple who go and visit their mentally handicapped son on his birthday, they bring various different jars of jelly beans as a present but are unable to meet him due to him having attempted suicide again the day before. His condition causes him to see everything in the world as a sign or as something connected to him, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;referential maniaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; is what a scientiďŹ c paper calls it. The couple arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t wealthy, they are ďŹ rst generation immigrants to New York City who are largely supported by the husbandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s brother, Isaac, the story is such a simple one, the couple simply take the train to the sanatorium, leave, go home, and the story ends with them unable to sleep that night. We learn a lot about their family in this time, the boyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s earlier symptoms were seen instead as signs of genius, the wifeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s aunt was killed in the Holocaust, and the husband had been a successful business when they lived in Minsk. At this stage the couple are simply world weary, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had their lives and their ambitions taken from them and have resided to spend the remainder of their lives together, working and visiting their son. Nabokov is known for the clinical and darkly comedic styles he often uses in his writing and it is made use of very interestingly here. Nabokov seems to use humour but not to make you laugh but to underline the tragedy of these characters lives. The doctor stating that their sons previous suicide attempt was â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;a masterpiece of inventivenessâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; would be the

butt of a dark joke in any other story but here it simply makes the event even more despairing. Nabokovâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s work often functions like a puzzle of symbolism that you are meant to decode, one notable example comes at the very end when the couple are called two (probably three) times over the course of a few minutes by a woman asking for a man named Charlie, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s certainly unrealistic but gives the stories of Nabokov a certain charm as you try to decode what these events could mean. The story is after all called Signs and Symbols so you can presume both of these make large appearances. Nabokov was unquestionably one of the best authors of the twentieth century, and this short and simple story by him still stands as one of his best written works, I highly recommend it.

Slint are a band from Kentucky, a US state where not much happens, a place proud of the fact that it has more deer and turkey per capita than anywhere else in the country, despite this it created an album as beautiful, whimsical and farfetching as Spiderland, and it couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t come from anywhere else. Slintâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Spiderland sometimes feels like a magic realism book brought to life in music, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sound is deep rooted in escapism and the fanciful; the album cover is the heads of the band members while they swim in a body of water, the universal symbol for dreams, and despite the fact that Kentucky is landlocked the albumâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lyrics make reference to pirates, oceans and sailors. Nowadays Spiderland is most famous for being part of the ďŹ rst wave of postrock albums, albums that were experimental, long form, and wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be grouped together until years after their releases. The songs on this album range from ďŹ ve to eight minutes and are almost completely ambient, trundling forward on this uncomfortably slow rhythm that could have made for a satisfying riff if played faster. The band makes use of strange time signatures, sporadic dynamic shifts and cacophonic guitar, these all give the album this uncomfortable sense of unease and strangeness that remains for all of its forty minutes. Occasionally and only brieďŹ&#x201A;y the ambience explodes and is torn apart by a rush of screams and guitar that only last an achingly short amount of time but stand out as the best moments of the album. The vocals are delivered in this spoken word style that makes each song feel like a little story, the lyrics donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t add up to much but the delivery gives them a certain mystique, lines like â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Don stepped outsideâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; or â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;creeping up into the skyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really mean anything (the latter being a reference to

a rollercoaster ride) but they are still burnt into the heads of fans because of how they are said. Everything is askew on Spiderland, the rhythms are elongated unnaturally, the vocals are surreal and even the album cover is blurry, the album takes some time to begin appreciating but once you do youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll discover a new and terrifying world in Spiderland, I highly recommend it.
