Suckers!

About Good Cake Bad Cake - The Story of LiR

By 1987 U2 had conquered the world with their album The Joshua Tree and Ireland became the focus of the world music industry as A&R men, in search of the next U2, flocked to Dublin. At this time, five teenagers from Donaghmede were building improvised instruments and playing gigs at their local school and shopping centre, dreaming of the big-time. They were LiR.

This film tells the story of a young Irish band tipped by every insider to become bigger than U2 and the subsequent disasters that befell these boys whose only dream was to play music. This is the story of a band, not unlike thousands of others, and the sacrifices they made to try and fulfil those dreams. It examines how this lifestyle and journey impacted on the individual members, one who became a recluse never to play music again, one who went on to make it in the big time and enjoy world-wide success with another band.

In spite of all these hardships and struggles, each member (bar one) continues to pursue a career in music; each hoping that maybe next year could be their year. Still held in great respect and affection by fans on both sides of the Atlantic, this film will attempt to share this extraordinary journey and the legacy of amazing music LiR have left behind them.

Going to a few flicks, but some of the ones I'm most interested in clash with Six Nations or matches of my own, so I can't make 'em.

I very much enjoyed Submarine.
Like Wes Anderson directing an Adrian Mole/Holden Caulfield story.

 

[Jill Hives]

Submarine was fantastic.
I still have a lot to see (4 just today) but I have a feeling Submarie will still be high up in my list of favourites this year.
@I is John you could have written the book this movie was adapted from. I couldn't help thinking of you, in a good way like.

Nope, written. Trust me.
One scene I was laughing so hard I couldn't breathe.
The woman next to me looked at me as if I was the worst person in the world for thinking it was funny.
I had laugher tears well into the next scene.

I have a spare ticket for Route Irish and Cave Of Forgotten Dreams - the Herzog movie for tonight.
Anyone wants either, shout me. You'd just have to meet me at the Screen at 6ish.
Gratis like.
