Ad Nauseam: Konnichiwa Celebrities!

The new Alfa Romeo ad for their Giulietta model, starring the ever-fabulous Uma Thurman brought this to mind: In the film Lost in Translation Bill Murray is an ever-so-slightly-washed-up actor visiting Japan, a country in which his stock is still high, to make a commercial for the premium whiskey brand Suntory. I thought this was a made-up product until I discovered a certain ever-so-slightly-washed-up actor who has been stumbling around in Suntory ads, crystal tumbler in hand, for quite a while.

Groundhog Day - The Screening

On Tuesday, we had Culch.ie’s first film screening. As a bit of a Happy Birthday to us, we gathered 80 people in The Sugar Club for a screening of Bill Murray’s classic comedy, Groundhog Day. Oh, for anyone that may be interested, the real Groundhog did see a shadow on Tuesday morning, so we are destined for another 6 weeks of winter. But we didn’t let that ruin our night and everyone seemed to enjoy themselves. I just wanted to say thanks to all the people who came along. I had so much fun once I finally calmed down.

Join us on Groundhog Day

“Okay, campers, rise and shine, and don’t forget your booties ’cause it’s cooooold out there today.” It’s a great film. It’s my favourite comedy and many other people’s too. I’ve seen it dozens of times, but I’ve never caught it in the cinema. That’s something I will be rectifying this Tuesday, February 2nd, with the First Culch.ie Screening of Groudhog Day on……Groundhog Day. The Sugar Club on Lower Leeson Street have been kind enough to help us host the Groundhog Day screening. Doors will open at 6.30pm and we’ll have a bit of fun, some spot prizes, some drinks and then we’ll laugh our respective arses off at Bill Murray’s classic comedy. Many of your favourite Culch.ie writers and a bunch of friends of Culch.ie will be coming along. Places are very limited, so if you would like to join us, leave a comment below and I’ll email you if … There’s more
