007 has no time to wait

JAMES BOND was only released in the cinema just over a month ago but Daniel Craig’s nal movie, No Time To Die, hit streaming services in the US this week. e newest James Bond lm No Time To Die hit cinemas on September 29 after years of multiple delays caused by the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. e lm has been a huge success, spending weeks at the top of the box o ce charts. It is as of yet unclear whether this digital release is occurring worldwide, or just for the US.

No Time To Die was internationally distributed by Universal, which has a “31day theatrical exclusivity window for all its lms”, according to the publication. is means that the lm may have always been due to hit the small screens after those 31 days were up. is is extremely exciting for Bond fans who will be able to watch their new favourite 007 lm again from the comfort of their own home. e release of No Time To Die also comes at an opportune time, as it apparently risks being knocked o the box o ce top spot by an upcoming 1980s movie reboot.

Data from Mobilewins suggests Ghostbusters: Afterlife will be even more popular than No Time To Die.

With new Video On Demand sales counting towards the box o ce, it may yet retain its top spot for another few weeks.

Joe Exotic returns to Net ix

A SECOND season of the hugely popular documentary series, Tiger King 2, is heading to Net ix very soon.

Tiger King 2 is again directed by Eric Goode and Rebecca Chaiklin and e ectvely picks up where the last season left o . It’s not without controversy - not only is the Tiger King himself, Joe Exotic, currently in jail serving time for hiring hitmen to kill rival Carole Baskin, Baskin herself is suing Net ix.

She claims the company doesn’t have permission to use footage of her in Tiger King 2, having only signed release forms for the rst series.

It sure sounds like season 2 will be just as surprising and event- lled as before, therefore. Here’s everything you need to know about it so far:

RELEASE DATE

Tiger King 2 will premiere on Wednesday, November 17, 2021.

HOW TO WATCH

Tiger King 2 is a Net ix exclusive, so you will need to be a Net ix subscriber to watch it. e previous series was rated 15 (in the UK), so we’d expect the same again.

While uncon rmed, it is expected that Tiger King 2 will have eight episodes. e rst series - Tiger King: Murder, Mayhem and Madness - originally had 7, but an eighth episode was added during the rst lockdown of the pandemic. It featured interiews with some of those who appeared in the docuseries.

From the trailer it is clear that the rst series has a big impact on the sequel. It has seemingly been lmed after the phenomenon began.

Variety reports that at least one person is not happy with it, however. Carole Baskin is said to be in the process of suing Net ix over her appearance in Tiger King 2. She claims that she only ever signed release documents for the rst series. Whether that will delay its release is unknown. Net ix is yet to respond to her allegations. e entire rst series is available on Net ix right now. You can also catch up on the events in the rst series in a handy, bite-sized highlights package made by the streaming giant.

thrillers to watch now on Netflix

is propulsive, stylish comedy thriller is based on real-life crimes, which makes it all the more riveting. I Care a Lot stars a cooler than ever Rosamund Pike as Marla Grayson, a con artist who has gured out a way to exploit old people and take their assets by becoming their legal guardians. Crime lords, devoted criminal girlfriends and aviator sunglasses feature in this rip-roaring ick with a fascinating morally ambiguous lead character.

A psychological thriller that dives deep into the surreal. I’m inking of Ending ings de nitely won’t be for everyone, but it connects you to the frustrations of the young woman (Jessie Buckley) at its heart, who grapples with breaking o her seven-week-relationship with her boyfriend Jake (Jesse Plemons). While it overstays its welcome a little, I’m inking of Ending ings always keeps you on your toes, with atmospheric cinematography and strong performances from Toni Collette and David ewlis as Jake’s fairly odd parents.

Two movies named e Call came out in 2020. Watch this South Korean one, a time travel thriller revolving around, yep, a phone call. Twentyeight- year-old Seo-yeon nds a phone buried in a closet in her childhood home. It rings, and the caller, it turns out, is living in the same house 20 years earlier. Twists right up to the nal moment, plus a wild cat-and-mouse chase that alters the past and present make this a must-watch.

If you’ve had a bad day, this might be the movie for you. When the police refuse to help with a robbery, nursing assistant Ruth and her weird neighbour Tony take matters into their own hands. I Don’t Feel at Home in is World Anymore spots the idiosyncrasies of everyday life, before escalating its story into dark places with even darker humour. With a touch of Coen Brothers’ air, its perfectly packed 96 minutes will leave you surprisingly emotional.

You’ll be spending a lot of time with Mélanie Laurent (Inglorious Basterds) in this contained sci- thriller. Inside a co n-like medical cryo unit, Laurent’s Elizabeth Hansen wakes up to nd that she’s trapped, running out of oxygen and can’t remember why she’s there. Claustrophobic and high on tension, Oxygen is a solid sci- entry, e cient and satisfying, without breaking any ground.

Kilkenny GAA clubs and Community news

SENIOR FOOTBALL Clara had a hard earned one point win over host club the Village in Larchfield on Saturday a ernoon. On their first attack right from the throw in Tom Ryan got his fist to a shot which was dropping short and the ball ended up in the Village net. This was to prove a crucial score on a day when scores were hard come by in the inclement conditions. The Villge went on to dominate the rest of the quarter, but only had two pointed frees by Cian Kenny to show for their e orts at the first water break. Tommy Walton opened the second quarter with a goal for the hosts but Alan Coleman replied with a good point for Clara. A Cian Kenny point from play was sandwiched between two similar e orts from Clara’s Sean O Shea, both of which were goal attempts that were deflected over by vigilant Village net minder Ryan Scanlon. This le the half time score at 1-3 each. Remarkably the entire second half only profuced one score as conditions deteriorated badly. This arrived in the third quarter through a James Nolan “mark” in the third quarter a er a good catch by James. Both teams missed numerous chances therea er, with the Village in particular rueing the lack of a consistent free taker. Jack Langton, who had swapped his full back position at half time with Brian Prendergast in goals, made a good late save to deny the Village. Even with the loss of David Langton late in the game to a black card the Clara men held out with some resolute defending to advance to the next round. Team - Brian Prendergast, Dara Glynn, Jack Langton, Paul Murphy. Conor O Shea, David Langton, Liam Ryan. Ciarán Prendergast, Alan Coleman 0-1. James Nolan 0-1f, Joe Connolly, James Casey. Sean O Shea 0-2, Tom Ryan 1-0, Bill Cody. Sub Brandon Ryan. Lockes team in Callan on Sunday. The Callan boys were on top from the word go and were well worth their 0-12 to 1-2 half time lead. All of Clara’s scores had come from placed balls by Conor Cody, the goal coming from a penalty following a foul on the busy Boru Bergin. Clara opened the second half with two points from Conor Cody from play, and when half time substitute Ned Langton goaled it was back to a two point game, with Clara now playing with the breeze. However Callan responded by scoring 1-3, all from play, to surge ahead again. Clara got the next three points through Conor Cody (2) and Harry Boyle, but a Callan free le the score at 1-16 to 2-7 at the second water break. Callan put this game to bed with the first four points of the final quarter and the game petered out as a contest. Clara scored the last four points of the game to give the scoreboard a respectable look, but in truth they were no match for the Callan lads on the day. Overall they will know that much higher intensity levels will be needed the next day to have any chance of victory. Team - Cian Kelly, Nick O Kee e, Noelie O Brien, Brandon Ryan. Ben Crow, Zach Lawlor, Sean Carrigan. Conor Cody 1-10, 1-5 f., Harry Boyle 0-1. Rory Glynn, Conor Booth, Ben Murphy. Luke Dunne, Jack Murphy, Boru Bergin. Sub used Ned Langton 1-0. COUNTY FINAL LOSS Hard luck to Clara N.S. teacher Paddy Deegan, who found himself on the losing O Loughlins side against four in a row County Champions Ballyhale Shamrocks on Sunday in Nowlan Park. Paddy did everything in his power to help his team to victory and finished his day with 2-3 from play, but it was not enough against a great Ballyhale team.

St Joseph’s Home chairman, Philip Brennan, was presented recently with a cheque for €4,500 from Dunnamaggin Gymkhana. The gymkhana was a great success, given the Covid times, and raised a total of €9,000 for local charities, St Joseph’s Home and Carlow Kilkenny Homecare Team. In his words of thanks Philip thanked the gymkhana for all of their charitable donations over the last 50 years of its existence and over the many years has contributed hugely to local charities. St Joseph’s in the current di icult times has also incurred extra expenses on the upgrade of its gas heating system so the money was particularly appreciated by St Joseph’s Home. At the last board meeting of St Josephs, Philip Brennan’s term of o ice has expired and Denise Kerwin was unanimously agreed as the new Chairperson. In his closing remarks Philip Brennan thanked the board for their support and help since he became chairperson a er the untimely death of Fr. Flavin. There have been challenging times in the last 3 years, with both Covid and financial, but due to good management and support St Josephs has emerged largely unscathed from these. No doubt there will be challenges going forward but with proper help and support St Josephs will continue to be a beacon of light in the parish.

GOWRAN AC Well done to all the athletes who took part in the Athletics Leinsters Uneven Ages, Senior & U23 XC Championships which was held at the fabulous and stunning Avondale Forest Park in Wicklow. A special thanks to Jean Beatty, Ann Coomey and Ciaran Carroll for helping out.

Gowran AC Individual Medals U11 Boys - 1st Aaron Carrigan U13 Boys - 4th Conor Carroll, 6th Robert Coogan U17 Boys - 2nd Billy Coogan U19 Boys- 6th Matthew Holland Club Team Medals 1st - U13 Boys - Conor Carroll, Robert Coogan, Tomas Carroll and Joe Hayes

County Medals U11 Boys Silver - Aaron Carrigan and MJ Carroll U13 Girls Silver - Kate Hayden U13 Boys Gold - Conor Carroll, Robert Coogan and Thomas Carroll U15 Girls Silver -Lucy Coomey and Hazel Coogan U17 Boys Gold - Billy Coogan

U11 Girls Emily O’Kee e was the first Gowran girl across the finishline in 14th position which was superb given that there were 132 athletes in the race. Heidi Ryan, Mia Kennedy, Amelia Fox, Laura Beatty and Emer Callaghan ran their best and their team finished eight. The County Team came fourth which will qualify some of the girls for the All- Ireland due to be held in Gowran in early December.

U11 Boys What a race for Kilkenny in the Boys U11, Aaron Carrigan led for most of the race. He was challenged by KCH with 100m to go but Aaron was not going to settle for silver and he returned the attack and finished first with sheer determination. The Kilkenny County Team won silver with a super performance from MJ Carroll finishing in 23rd. Gowran had another seven boys (Milo Geraghty, David Carroll, Rory Treacy, Sean Farrell, Oisin Doyle, Ross Hutton and Milo Ahern) in this race and they all had a good run. Well done to some of the boys competing for the first time in Leinster.

U13 Girls Great run from Kate Hayden who finished just outside the top twelve in eighteenth position. Orlaith Carroll, Eve Doyle, Daisy Coomey and Anna Kelsey completed the team which finished tenth overall.

U13 Boys Gold Club Team The boys U13 were impressive winning Gold Club and County. Conor Carroll leading the way for the Gowran boys with a strong and measured race. Robert Coogan tucked in behind his team mate and followed through. Conor calmly picked o the other athletes and made his way into 4th position. He was still fighting all the way towards the finish line. Robert just seconds behind in 6th. The boys had a strong team coming in behind them with Thomas Carroll, Joe Hayes, Darragh Carroll and Micheal O’Kee e.

U15 Girls Very strong running from Lucy Coomey and Hazel Coogan who both contributed to the county team which finished second. Alex Brennan and Kate Kelly completed the team which came eight overall.

U15 Boys Trio Michael Holland, James Kelsey and Kealan Barcoe all did their best in a very tough 3500m.

U17 Girls Rachel O’Neill had a great run (running up in age), finishing thirty fourth in a gruelling 4000m

U17 Boys Billy Coogan had a fantastic run finishing second in the U17 boys. Billy’s season has been impeccable. He added a gold to his silver medal when the County finished in first position.

U19 Boys Matthew Holland had a super performance and finish 6th in the U19 Boys 6000m.

SPORTS ROUND UP MICHAEL O’LEARY INTERMEDIATES SECURE SAFETY Young Irelands cemented their Intermediate status with a 3-13 to 1-7 win against John Lockes of Callan last Saturday a ernoon with the goals coming from Sean Kehoe, Paul Holden( from a long range free) and Ted Drea.

UNDER NINTEENS SUFFER DOUBLE HEARTBREAK U-19 Roinn B Championship QuarterFinal Young Irelands Gowran 2-15 Piltown 2-16 A er Extra-Time The U-19 Hurlers su ered Heartbreak both at the end of normal time and in extratime, as they were denied by Piltown in the U-19 Roinn B Championship Quarter-Final on Sunday morning. A contest that was mostly low scoring and that took a long time to get going saw Piltown lead 0-5 to 0-4 at half-time, before they stretched the advantage to open up a four point lead as they led 0-9 to 0-5 during the third quarter. The Gowran men finally came to life and a well taken goal from Ben Phelan brought the margin back to a solitary point, before points either side of the water break pushed Piltown’s lead out to three points 0-11 to 1-5. However, Young Irelands conjured up another goal courtesy of a superbly taken e ort from Killian Carey to draw the sides level (2-5 to 0-11), and buoyed on by that goal, they sprung to life adding further points from Padraig Naddy, Tommy Phelan and a long distance free by centre back Gavin Manning 2-8 to 0-11. Victory appeared to be theirs but there was a twist to the tale, and a long range free by Piltown ended up with a goal via a goalmouth scramble, and extra-time beckoned. The Gowran men responded strongly during the first period of extratime and two points each from both goal scorers Ben Phelan and Killian Carey put them 2-12 to 1-12 ahead approaching half time of extra time. Piltown thought displayed a never say die attitude when it was needed most, and a levelling goal from a penalty restored parity 2-12 each. Young Irelands started the Second Period of ExtraTime strongly & further points from Ben Phelan and Killian Carey along with Jimmy Lennon put them two points ahead entering the closing five minutes 2-15 to 2-13. However, Piltown refused to lie down, and they finished strongest with three unanswered points to snatch victory. The Gowran men were best served by the brilliance of the outstanding Bobby Brennan and Cathal Darcy in defence, while Gavin Manning had a good solid game also. The attacking division only got going from late in normal time with Killian Carey and Ben Phelan leading the way in extra time, but prior to that they struggled to make a meaningful impact. Young Irelands will play Tullogher-Rosbercon in the Shield Semi-Final on Saturday A ernoon in Gowran at 1.30pm.
