Competition - Bond At The Lighthouse

*** Competiton closed - winners announced ***

Ok, that was tough. There were some very funny, very clever and very awful comments, but ultimately (and with the help of an independent adjudicator - I kid you not) the following were selected as winners of the Double Season Passes to all 4 Bond Movies in the Lighthouse Cinema:

Damien with S€7en

Stephen with Vicki Cristina Ballymun

Congratulations to Damien and Stephen and thank you to all who entered.

- Darren

This is a quick one but thanks a mill to the lovely people at the Lighthouse Cinema for suggesting it. As I was SO excited about their upcoming James Bond season they’re given me 2 double season passes to all 4 films to give away to you guys.

Thus, the competition (wilfully ripped off from twitter and Simon Mayo and Mark Kermode over the last few weeks):

Recessionary movie titles…

You could go Bond:

Cubic Zirconia Are Forever

Leadfinger

Bingo Royale

Or local:

Last Tango In Thurles

Some of the originals from Twitter were great:

Star Wars: The Empire Cuts Back (@gilabot)

My Welfare Lady (@Owsler)

Twenty Dollar Baby (@gabbler)

Tin Foil Magnolias (@MrsWomanSays)

When Harry Lost Salary (@cardboardrocks)

and the like.

The two best commenters with their movie title rewritten for the global recession get a double pass each to see all 4 films - you have til midday tomorrow (Friday), off you go!!!
