🎬 Marty Supreme — The Movie Everyone’s Talking About
Some films arrive quietly. Others kick the door down. Marty Supreme seems to be doing the latter — boasting outstanding Rotten Tomatoes scores and already being tipped by many as the film of 2025.
We’ll be heading to see it this Saturdy at Cineworld.
⏰ meet you @7.30 in the lobby.
As always, we’ll aim to sit together (because cinema solidarity matters). My seaf is F11
After the film, we’ll head nearby for a relaxed discussion — reflections on the film, favourite moments, or just a pleasant chat and good company. Deep analysis welcome, casual opinions equally encouraged. No pop quiz at the end.
If you enjoy great cinema, thoughtful conversation, and the gentle joy of sharing a film experience rather than just watching it alone — this one’s for you.
More details very soon. 🎥✨

DART (train) Station in the heart of the village. You are taken along the harbour before climbing away from the village around the Nose of Howth and onto the clifftops.
Take in the stunning views of Lambay Island and Ireland's Eye, and be overwhelmed by the heady scent of coconut from the bright yellow gorse on the heath.
The Baily Lighthouse - the last of Ireland's lighthouses to become automated - comes into view before you ascend towards the car park at 'The Summit' and return to Howth Village along a path running parallel to your outward route.
