If you don't see it in IMAX how else will you know that there is ocean under the boat?
Grieving. (And started watching the Night Gallery pilot not realising it was a feature length tv movie.)

Today is a big anniversary day for my first feature, JAKE. 24 June 2009, we began principal photography. 24 June 2013, we had the cast and crew screening. 24 June 2014, we had our public premiere. To celebrate, I've made it free on Vimeo for a wee bit. vimeo.com/1203609792/0...

Wild to me that Oliver Tree has died. When I first started working corporate nonsense (instead of hospo) I joined spotify so I could have some sounds to help me work. With no algorithm yet, it offered me a track called "Movement" by Oliver Tree. Never heard anything like it. Kinda changed my life.
Picked up a few records on my trip to NZ but none more precious than this one. Yes, they both sing on it.
Any time someone likes this review I get reminded to read this list of character names and enjoy them anew! boxd.it/cNtHXZ
A ★★½ review of The Big Street (1942)
I think it is very important we take time to appreciate all the character names in this film so here is a list: Agustus 'Little Pinks' Pinkerton II, Case Ables, Nicely Nicely Johnson, Violette Shumber...

Given they used ai in their ai apology, it's probably safe to assume that granta use ai to judge their stories, thus the ai judge liked the ai story and that's why it was published/won. A real shame. Used to love reading granta.

All The Years 2026
Following on from the 2025 effort I am keeping track of films so I can see when I've hit "every" year in 2026. When I watch a movie from a year I haven't before, I'll add it here. From 1916 to 2026 in...

Genuinely and unironically going to plan a trip to visit this library as soon as I can! So many good memories. Still have my library card too.
Fark@frccrlark.bsky.social · 5mo agoI think I will cry when I go back in. I’ve done some really neat jobs, but working those late nights on the Fiction, Sound and Vision desk remains, honestly, a career highlight even 20 years on. I felt cool and lucky and like I’d arrived at life. #Wellington www.rnz.co.nz/news/nationa...

While in Germany, Eloise somehow found me an LP of one my literal favourite and most watched (and most obscure) films: Peter Watkin's Privilege (1967). Wild to me that I now own this!!
This tagline also applies to all the houseplants eloise left me in charge of while she's in Germany for three weeks.

This is wildly exciting news! Keeping cinema alive! I suspect the guy wearing a tshirt that says 'movies' knows a fair bit about movies. Tshirts don't lie! Congrats guys! @soundslikecin.bsky.social @cinemelo.bsky.social
