This private residence in the city of Glendale was the location used as Lane's (John Cusack) home in the 1985 romantic comedy "Better Off Dead" (top).
This home is located at 1636 Virginia Avenue, Glendale.
ERTZ 14 featured a Disinformation concert and “Rorschach Audio” lecture-demonstration, plus performances and installations from Maialen Lujanbio, Xabier Erkizia, Iban Urizar, Aitor Nova, Asier Gogortza, Jose Mari Zabala, Jose Luis Maire, Colin Hacklander, Farah Hatam, Idoia Zabaleta, Peter Cusack, Jakoba Errekondo, Fernando Mikelarena, Jose Luis Espejo, Mikel Nieto, Luca Rullo, Eduardo Gil Bera, Karlos Sanchez Ekiza, Roc Jimenez de Cisneros, Khantoria and Ander Berrojalbiz. The festival was themed around “Los Sonidos de la Guerra” - with the “Rorschach Audio” lecture therefore being included on account of the emphasis that the talk places on the wartime activities of the BBC Monitoring Service.
ERTZ 14 was curated by Xabi Erkizia, and produced in collaboration with Xavier Balderas Cejudo, Mikel Nieto, Jose-Luis Espejo, Marcelo Liberato and Natalia Barberia.
The “Rorschach Audio” talk was delivered with live translations into Basque and Spanish (conveyed to the audience via induction loop headphones), and a detailed introduction to the Disinformation and “Rorschach Audio” projects by Xabi Erkizia (see video)…

Being John Malkovich - Alternative Movie Poster
Original illustration - Available as a metal poster from Displate:
When I photograph the older parts of Dublin I will often attract the attention of the self appointed local historian and today was not an exception. The gentleman in question told me that the lifting bridge was built by Earl Spencer the paternal grandfather of Diana Spencer. The problem with such stories is that the facts may be “alternative” but they are often true so they cannot be easily dismissed. I did, however, have some problems with the story for the following reasons.
[1] Spencer Dock was originally known as the Royal Canal Docks
[2] Diana’s Grand Father or his father had no connection with Ireland.
[3] The bridge appears to have an electric motor dating from the 1940s or 1950s
Anyway I decided to check a history of the docklands published by Turtle Bunbury [by the way the book features one of my photographs] and I came across the following: “The new dock was a work of ‘entirely private enterprise’ and cost £58,000. On the beautiful afternoon of 15th April 1873, (Sir) Ralph Cusack, Chairman of the MGWR, opened the new dock and formally named it Spencer after the Lord Lieutenant, Earl Spencer, great-great grandfather of Diana, Princess of Wales.”
So there was some basis to the local historian’s claim however the bridge associated with the development was at the time described as “an ingenious hydraulic bridge” and it was the work of the railway’s engineer Mr Price. The bridge in my photographs does not really match the description above.
The available information available is confusing but the bridge in my photographs appears to be referred to as the Sheriff Street Lifting Bridge but also as the Sheriff Street Spencer Drawbridge but it was built in 1941 as a replacement for an older swivel bridge dating from 1873.
Just before I published my photographs I came across this “However, on 17 October 1941 the IT reported on the opening of the new Sheriff Street drawbridge, which had cost £18,000; it was a structure unique of its kind in these islands.” canalsofdublin.com/royal-canal-interactive-walk/sheriff-s...
This screen grab (top) is from the 2009 sci-fi thriller "2012". The first California quake in this movie wakes up Jackson Curtis (John Cusack) in his home on 45th Street in Manhattan Beach.
The last time Cusack was filming a movie in Manhattan Beach, it was the thriller "1408". In 1408, Cusack came to this same beach (El Porto) to go surfing, he lived Hermosa beach.
In both movies, he was also a novelist.
How many more parallels can we draw?

I've shot this Gold Medal Flour Ghost Ad several times since it was first exposed last year after the old Montgomery Wards Department Store was razed in Downtown New Kensington. Something of significance in this ad, is the company that painted it, Thomas Cusack Co. Thomas Cusack (1858 - 1926) emigrated with his family in 1861 during An Gorta Mór (The Great Hunger) more commonly, but mistakenly known as the "Irish Potato Famine" when he was 3 years old. He would grow up to be known as the Billboard Baron. Cusack became incredibly rich from a sign painting business that he started when he was just 17 years old!

Limerick Olympic Legends Reunion 2012Short Press Release.May 23rd 2012.Limerick Athletics to honour Olympic Legends.2012 is the year of the London Olympic Games and it is unlikely they will be staged as close to Limerick again. Limerick is well established as a European City of Sport, but it also has a long tradition of Olympian athletes locally, stretching back prior to the birth of the Free State. Three of Limerick’s most famous athletes Frank O’Mara, Mick O’Shea and Niall O’Shaughnessy, will return from the USA to join their Irish based Olympic colleagues, in a unique reunion in the Clarion Hotel on Saturday evening next the 26th May. Limerick’s first Olympic athlete to compete for Ireland was John O’Grady of Ballybricken who competed in Paris in 1924 and he was also the first flag bearer of an Irish Olympic team. To this day the O’Grady monument at the Fairgreen stands in his memory. At the Amsterdam Games in 1928, Denis Cussen of Newcastlewest, capped fifteen times for Ireland in rugby, competed in the 100m. The period 1964 to 2000 was a golden era for Limerick with local athletes involved in every Games except for 1996. Jim Hogan born in Athlacca, was the first of this group and he ran in the 10,000m and the marathon for Ireland in Tokyo 1964 and then ran for Great Britain in Mexico four years later in 1968. Two former pupils of St Munchin’s College, once a famed athletic nursery, Niall O’Shaughnessy of Adare and Neil Cusack ran in Montreal in 1972, with Cusack running again four years later in 1976 in the famous Munich Games competing in the marathon. Mick O’Shea from Clare Street was the sole Limerick athlete in the 5000m in Moscow 1980. Frank O’Mara, another student of St Munchin’s College - and Limerick’s greatest Olympian of modern times, competed in the next three Olympic Games in Barcelona 1984 in the 1500m, Seoul 1988 in the 5000m and Los Angeles in 1992 also in the 5000m. Barbara Johnson of Rathkeale also competed in Seoul in 1988 in the 400m hurdles. Finally in Sydney in 2000, Limerick again had two athletes competing Rosemary Ryan in the 5000m and Tom Comyns in the 4x100m relay.Thanks to the dedicated work of a new generation of local coaches in clubs like Limerick AC, Dooneen AC and Emerald AC, track and field athletics is making a strong return in popularity around Limerick. The upsurge in recreational running has also provided an opportunity to promote running, get athletics into local schools as an attractive sport option, increase local athletic club membership and improve public health levels.Supported by Shannon Development, Limerick Corporation and the County Council a further aim of this initiative is to develop a series of Olympic trails around the city and county. Kevin O’Connor of Limerick European City of Sport explained that “each trail will be named after a Limerick Olympic legends to encourage running especially among younger children and in schools. Limerick is fortunate to have a potential network of top class running trails and with clear branding and strong promotion it will be a major boost for the sport locally”The concept has been received very well by Athletics Ireland and the Olympic Council of Ireland. City of Sport status has provided a significant positive boost to the image and the economy of Limerick building on the success of Rugby, GAA, Soccer and the facilities at the University of Limerick, Ireland’s premier sports campus. Associating these trails with the Limerick’s most famous Olympians of the modern era is a strong reminder of our rich athletic Olympic heritage. Several athletes were members of Ireland’s oldest athletic club – Limerick AC founded in 1877, although one of Ireland’s most eminent sports historians Ronnie Long, has uncovered new evidence that it may have been founded as early as 1873. Saturday night next will see a large gathering of Ireland’s leading athletic lights from past and present descent on the Clarion Hotel to honour some of Ireland’s greatest Olympic athletes.

This home is located at 1633 Virginia Avenue, Glendale.
At a literal level, the events in this film are preposterous. An Englishman (Michael Jayston) on a European vacation with his wife (Vivien Merchant), stops off to visit his family before returning home to the American college where he teaches. Less than a day after he arrives, his brothers (Ian Holm, Terrence Rigby) are making love to her in his presence and the former, a pimp, suggests that he set her up as a call-girl. After a bit of dickering, she agrees, her husband acquiesces, and she takes over as head of this very troubled household . . . Oh, and her husband's uncle drops dead at her feet in the last scene.
But It seems unlikely that Pinter meant the thing to be taken literally. This is The Battle of The Sexes writ large. In this telling, the woman wins, but only by degrading herself and heartlessly manipulating the worst instincts of the men around her. They degrade themselves by giving into their desire for cruelty and domination. Ironically, the passive husband may actually be a ray of hope--there's a suggestion, particularly in the final scene, that the relationship between these two is about something other than control and brutality.
The film was directed by Peter Hall, who had helmed the original 1964 stage production for the Royal Shakespeare Company, and most of the original actors are present as well, the only newcomers being Jayston, in the role of the husband, and Cyril Cusack as the ill-fated uncle, who fit in with ease. And what a terrifying and pathetic lot they are, particularly Paul Rogers as the awful father and Ian Holm as the slick, brutal pimp. As the woman who moves in and takes over their lives, Vivien Merchant glides through with an elegant, terrifying surface ease and a cynical eye for the weaknesses in almost everyone she meets. Hall's direction is spare and brutally focused, helped by David Watkin's cool, stripped-down cinematography. One of the most amazing stage-to-film transfers ever done.
