The den / space-ship / attack-vessel may - who knows ? - really have been fly-tipped [it's also https://t.co/FKP5XrM8Ww's brochure's front cover], but, through its removal, the spot's not only established as a location for us, but also lets us see them run home, for example. pic.twitter.com/ZUVOpnkaKd

* Ja, 'twas Th'Agent - irritatingly in search of the best of cinema - who occupied seat H1 that afternoon...

#UCFF Tweets on Opening Night at Cambridge Film Festival :

The new [Martin] McDonagh (work in progress ?)

Dedicated, in gratitude for his BDI, to JLB

Laying your table :

Fighting sleep-deprivation, and simultaneously indicted and thus not wanting or able to concentrate, watching the new McDonagh* at #CFF41 definitely gave the promised existential crisis.

* Martin - it was John Michael McDonagh who directed Calvary (2014) (and The Guard (2011)).

Menu / ingredients-list / allergens :

Whether The Banshees** might finally blend them (or intended to ?), the dish's ingredients or spices may resemble :

* Craggy Island / Ripping Yarns

* The Truman Show / Seven Psychopaths

* Flann O'Brien / J. M. Synge

* In Bruges' eerie score

* The Guard ?

* Macbeth...

On top of tiredness, it fed unhelpful introspection / identification with Farrell's character*.

Hurriedly apologizing to my guest, I just had to 'bunk out' - as I usually say - of Screen 1 when and as I could* :

Getting back to my usual b&b and then 9hrs' sleep was far better !

* I dropped, but couldn't find, maybe just my extra-strong mints, and I'd already moved a bag and tipped over a double @Laphroaig through weariness - useful, though it felt tiresome at the time, as it would *not* have helped an involuntary raking through old indiscretions. :)

Spoilery stuff from the sous-chef or kitchen ? :

I'm with Mrs W, on this one, @everyfilmneil :

'Mrs W wasn't impressed - she thought it was too contrived and laboured'

NB * Spoilers * (mebbe ?) :

** Also not to be mistaken for Siouxsie*** ?

[It may help to know what banshees are (in folk-songs, probably little better than a visit from a nightingale ?)]

*** Then again, there might be referents here (and there)... :https://t.co/E1GC5DeK7v

Re-uniting the 'In Bruges' team would have needed Clémence Poésy, as well as Ralph Fiennes ?https://t.co/V1weEPyC6W https://t.co/S3Jtm1GgwI
