Cillian Murphy himself

Breakfast on Pluto

Just saw Breakfast on Pluto last night. It is a film by Neil Jordan based on the book of the same title by Patrick McCabe. They wrote the script together and it stars Cillian Murphy above. Stephen Rea, Gavin Friday, Bryan Ferry, Liam Neeson are also in the film. Cillian is gorgeous amd reminds me a bit of Candy Darling the most beautiful cross dresser ever!

I enjoyed the music from the 60's and 70's in the film most of all. Some real classics like Chirpy Chirpy Cheep! Robins play a part in the film also! It seemed to be driven by the score really.

Cheesy in filmic terms. Like the title actually!

I snuck a photo of Brian Jones in there as well.

Gary Oldman rocks!

Born today in 1958 in New Cross, London. Gary Oldman has played Beethoven, Dracula, Sid Vicious, Lee Harvey Oswald to name a few. His own film Nil by Mouth about his life and directed by him was tough, and good.
