If we pushed Australian low-budget horror production hard (which we should!) and marketed them overseas, you'd get the element you need to make Australians see Australian films: the approval of non-Australians
the Curb @thecurbau.bsky.social · 3d agoYes we should, but also, Aussie horror like Leviticus does poorly at the Australian box office. A film like Penny Lane is Dead has also failed at the box office. It's one thing to make films that service an international market, but it's another to try and get Aussie audiences to them.
australia makes great low-budget horror, fantasy, and genre film. we should be making more of it. #tv #film #cinema #australia
Australia is ready to take advantage of cinema's low-budget genre boom | ScreenHub: Film, TV, Streaming and Games
The box office success of mid-budget genre films like Obsession should be a learning lesson for Australian cinema.

never thought short form video would be able to capture a type of humor i can only describe as “the far side-esque” but this comes close.
unseal your cards, unseal your comics, take things out of the fucking box. it's all just cardboard and plastic. fuck the resale market

"These young girls that are sitting at games with anti-trans signs, do they understand actually what the real problems are and how they’re being marginalized? We’re still not in a space where we have equality."
![“Years ago, I encouraged the WNBA leadership: what’s our stance? What are we going to do when this occurs? Are we going to be ready? Are we going to be reactionary? And so I think it would make sense for our league to be leaders in this space,” she said. ” … I’ve chosen to educate myself about the space. I’ve chosen to listen to transgender families, and what I know is exclusion is not the answer. We’ve got to find a common ground and be inclusive. That’s the space. I think if we all come from that.”
Reeve then pondered the real issues facing women’s sports and whether the people attempting to “defend” them even know what they are.
“The [transgender]issue isn’t as big as the issues that we have in women’s sports,” she continued. “Whether it’s cisgender men that have held us down for years in spaces like being able to have access to facilities and uniforms and locker rooms, all the things that these young girls that are sitting at games with anti-trans signs, do they understand actually what the real problems are and how they’re being marginalized? We’re still not in a space where we have equality. We don’t even have the Equal Rights Amendment in all 50 states, right? So there’s real issues. This is an issue that I think that we can thoughtfully work through, and that’s my hope."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:ljtaqjfy2qlxv2u5sb6njbhr/bafkreict6exctik6d3kjui5h7qjmkk4v465o7sv5twonjaw5rzudxfbv4i)

"Being trans is sad Being trans is horrid." Shut up. Being trans is great. Look. I've got inner peace and a fucking scythe.

Using lists of three is not an "AI tell." It's a common trait in human writing because our brains biologically want to make sure there's always one thing to marry, one thing to fuck, and one thing to murder.

Of all the legendary insults that pop up in my head from time to time I don’t think there’s anything better than whoever described Steve Bannon as looking like “the coroner of Margaritaville”
I’m really glad I have Bluesky to keep me informed about what Matt Yglesias is saying. I have him blocked for being a dumbass nobody centrist shill with nothing to say and I don’t use X, but thankfully all the nothing he says gets screenshotted and reposted here. Wouldn’t want to miss it!

I once had to arrange utilities disconnection for a woman who refused to read her meter as 'the cellar is haunted.' When I got the engineer's report back it read; 'Could not disconnect, was pelted with nails by unseen entity.'
SMD@anothersmd.bsky.social · last yr.what are some absurd work situations you can share? once i got called into a meeting i had nothing to do with because the consultant brought an engineer and no one in the room could understand him, so they asked me to translate. he was scouse. i translated from english to english.
This statement is *considerable* progress. Eight years ago the AEC was resisting changing Batman to (as it turned out) Cooper. I literally asked the Commission to their faces how many people you're allowed to murder before you can't have an electorate named for you: meanjin.com.au/latest/shift...
it's not an own to point out that all these fucking guys trying to deny trans people their hormones are so into HGH and whatnot. they don't care either way about 'gender affirming care.' they want to be he-men and they want trans people to die. to them the two projects are perfectly coherent
