Wow they really did that to Jerry

No festival films tonight so knocked over another decade in the challenge instead. My 1980s watch record is pretty sparse so this was an excuse to finally get to some real heavy hitters (please talk to me about Mishima if you’ve seen it WHATTA PICTURE) (DON’T talk to me about Running Man, a stinker)

“Hayley have you completed another decade in your 100+ years of film challenge?” I have TWO more completed decades for you! “Are you on track for finishing the whole thing before MIFF?” Hahahahaaaaaa MIFF starts on Thursday NO COMMENT

Was absolutely murdered this evening, rip me

Looking through the Fringe guide and there’s a mushroom lady trial musical (surprised there’s only one), there’s SOMEHOW, STILL a HP themed show, and there’s one show fronting with glaringly obvious AI art how dare you you’re at FRINGE just [redacted] yourself it’ll save the others performers time

*hikes up pants old man style* Back in my day, you’d go to the movies and for $5 you would see full-frontal Harvey Keitel unprovoked and without any warning whatsoever. It didn’t take you outta the movie, it WAS the movie. And that’s the way we liked it.

Yes, that’s the problem 

Did i have vague plans for today, yes, is lazing and pissfarting around in bed for half of Saturday simply too alluring, too top-tier an activity, yes yes it is

A HAPPY MIFFMAS TO ALL AND TO ALL A GOOD FILM it’s the MIFF thread baybeeeeeeeeeee 🎞️🎞️🎞️🎞️

They haven't publicised it at all but MIFF is doing $12 last-minute tickets for select sessions announced each day. Available from noon (or sometimes a few minutes later, you know how it is).

Where in Naarm do you reckon I could still buy Sight & Sound, you know an actual physical magazine (they’ve got a classic Chabrol interview reprinted in the latest edition and I wish to inhale it)

Oscar Hammerstein had a terrific 1943, with Oklahoma! opening in March and Carmen Jones opening in December. Finding himself the toast of Broadway again after a long string of failures, he took out a self-deprecating ad in the January 5, 1944 issue of Variety listing his flops. An absolute legend.

Very much enjoying this chill backfill gig at an old workplace, especially given at my previous job I was made to feel like a freak every time I opened my mouth whereas here I just appear and the reaction is a Kramer-bursts-in applause break

Saw this picture and trying to figure out the Diddy Kong situation is leading me down a rabbit hole that can only end with me rejecting the moon landing

I don't even know what to say. This is real, this is true, so, like, thank you all, from the bottom of my heart. This took over 25 years to happen so if there's any lesson here it's either "keep at it, who knows" or "many people are divorced"

Really knocking decades over now, running the gamut here from interminable to absolute all timers, I will be thinking about both Eddie Coyle and News From Home FOREVER (also @ruthelizabeth.bsky.social have you seen Nezha the animation is BEAUTIFUL and there’s a huge proportion of Little Guys)

Massive Attack speak about ‘surreal experience’ of being banned from Singapore over Palestinian flag

Massive Attack speak about ‘surreal experience’ of being banned from Singapore over Palestinian flag

British band say they are ‘proud to have made this impromptu expression with our fans in Singapore’, where open display of all foreign flags is banned Massive Attack have called being banned from Singapore a “surreal experience” after displaying a Palestinian flag during their show. On Wednesday, the English trip-hop collective – whose current lineup includes Robert “3D” Del Naja and Grant “Daddy G” Marshall – played a show at the Star theatre. Continue reading...

Was on the phone to my parents, my mum was all “oh your father watched that Korean film you lent him, what was it called… No Other Choice” and I just hear my dad in the background burst into unhinged CACKLING which to be fair was also my reaction to No Other Choice

Walking past the playground at the park where two young girls were wrasslin’, one happily cries out “don’t you love how I’m so cute and adorable but also evil?” (her friend did not seem to be loving it)

Lying in bed, unable to sleep, thinking about how ASMR creators are maybe the best foley artists to have ever existed

I gasped out loud in delight when Kevin McDonald appeared in Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma, cinema viewing moment of the year for yours truly (I did have to explain to a bunch of people about the existence of Canadian sketch comedy afterwards)

If I won the lottery I would hire an interior designer and just say “Columbo murderer” while waving my hand around my home office.

It’s true, they’re right to say it

Came home from tai chi just in time to watch the end of Dog Day Afternoon on World Movies, and now we’re segueing into Ghost Dog: Way of the Samurai?!! Perfect television station, I want all my taxes to go to SBS

I try to not be on Instagram much these days (sometimes successfully and sometimes not) but every time I open it now I get shown this guy who makes videos of loading up his lunch tray at his Korean workplace’s buffet canteen, it is honestly very calming, this guy is getting some good-looking meals

Okay so we all know the Commonwealth Games are a farce, weird remnant of empire somehow still hanging on etc etc but are you all aware that the Glasgow games mascot is a unicorn in bisexual colours with a traffic cone for a horn?

Was listening to Boonta Vista when the emergency beep came through and it did not startle me nearly as much as the Crime Watch stinger always does, government on a poorer level of sound design than podcasters

In “Hayley are you going die in a gutter” news, NOT YET FUCKOS, start a temp gig tomorrow back at an old workplace that I liked backfilling a bunch of people on holiday, will only be for a few weeks but I’m pleased about it, farewell funemployment for now

Saw Silent Friend today, lovely meditative film, great plant nerd film, though my friends were forcefully reminded I’m the biggest wowser on the planet when I asked over the end credits “can you really just pick and chomp a peyote plant and get high, I thought you had to... prepare a stew”

Truly incredible to witness an ex-friend who scammed me writing a whole newspaper opinion piece fretting about how watching The Odyssey made them realise that incivility to strangers leads to civilisation crumbling, my dude you couldn’t even be civil TO YOUR MATES, YOU WEEPING ARSEHOLE

I need you people to stop making me aware of Johnny Depp, enough

I am still thinking about Leslie Cheung’s introductory scene where he is flirting with a French street artist sketching his portrait, going “do you know who I am? I’m a world famous thief, read the papers tomorrow” then hops a motorbike to go commit an art heist, truly the greatest bisexual king

I just don’t think I’ll ever get over the fact that for a really long time it wasn’t easy to see John Woo’s HK films and now you can stream them, you can buy blurays of them, and sometimes you can even just walk into a cinema and watch them (in this case Once A Thief)
