This was the sign that greeted us one cold January afternoon in 2002. After months of fine pies, taken while gazing down the Parisian-esque walkway that is Linen Hall Street, our hearts had been broken. Gary Moore himself could not have articulated the pain, not even had he a guitar right there and one of those we portable amps like in Crossroads. Crossroads, was there ever a better film starring Satan?

More!? OK then, but I can't help feeling that this will be a disappointment to you.
I work as a web designer in Belfast, and I live by the sea in a shoe. You can see me here, doing my livejournal pose as idoru called it. If you need to you can email me at carisenda -at- gmail -dot- com.

Does exactly what it says on the (comic book) tin. Loved it.
- Little Miss Sunshine
†
Very funny, disturbing (the beauty pageant) and completely messed up -- but in a good way.
- Laputa: Castle in the Sky
†
Story great, characterization a little on the weak side -- though the big robots are cool.
- Porco Rosso
†
Stylish, funny, exciting.
- Grave of the Fireflies
†
Very sad, which was a little unexpected since I didn't know much about it before watching it. Can be a little too slow in places though, otherwise it's very good.
- Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind
†
The story can get a little dense at times what with the various factions, but still really enjoyable, inventive and engaging.
- X-Men: The Last Stand

Opportunity, talent, money - all blown. Over 3 films X-Men has hinted of something great that could have been, this last one says "No, sorry - not going to happen". Bah.

Lest we not forget.
I can’t decide if duggie is being ironic and realises that what he’s written means that this is put here so we’ll all forget about “the pie shop”. Is it a pastice of the “lest we forget” theme?
BTW: do not be tempted to visit www.pieshop.com it’s not very savoury.
‘Lest we not forget’ was written in a wall mural which used to adorn a gable wall, just off the bottom of the Cregagh Road. It’s gone now - they replaced it with a large painting of George Best when we all stopped fighting and learned to love one another, instead of the bomb.
