Competition – Bond At The Lighthouse
Thursday, June 11th, 2009*** 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.

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!!!
