Feel incredibly lucky to have hosted a discussion on the weekend with Mark Lee about Gallipoli. It was great to hear his stories from the production and his thoughts on the light/dark sides of the film's long lasting impact.
what's nice about reading a physical book is there is no possibility of your view being cluttered by fucking clippy

RIP Ted Kotcheff, glad he lived to see Wake In Fright get the credit it deserved
Development of one of the shots in Flow. Every shot goes through many iterations. In most cases the look is found directly in the 3d scene instead of using concept art. Everything is made in Blender and rendered using EEVEE.
Damn. I had to hear it straight from the horse's mouth before I believed it, but Fincher is indeed directing the Cliff Booth movie. Wild! Very curious!
It's official! Ketchup Entertainment has purchased the worldwide rights for COYOTE VS. ACME from Warner Bros., and will distribute the film in theaters.
This right here. And hey, as someone who covers Australian films, I urge folks to remember that Aussie cinema is more than just Wake in Fright, Mad Max, or Picnic at Hanging Rock.
Michelle Swope@redheadfrommars.bsky.social · last yr.If you love movies, I am begging you to watch more old movies, foreign movies with subtitles, genres you might think you don't like or aren't familiar with. If you're not doing these things you're missing out on some of the most incredible movies ever made. 🎥 #filmsky
They said it would never happen. Hundreds of Beavers hits $1,000,000 in worldwide Box Office. Long live indie cinema! $150,000 budget and a dream. And thank you to the fans who got us here.
No Other Land just won an Oscar without US distribution. Absolutely legendary for them, this film and its message. The most important award of this year, hands down.
We as a society must do whatever it takes to protect Nick Lutsko from retribution
Kyle Griffin@kylegriffin1.bsky.social · last yr.Trump just announced Fox host Dan Bongino as his pick for deputy FBI director. Yes. Dan Bongino.

Aussies. There's a new miniseries starting on SBS very soon called Australia: An Unofficial History. It features clips from a rarely seen early Peter Weir film, Whatever Happened to Green Valley? Keep an eye out for it. Great stuff.
Courtney Howard@lulamaybelle.bsky.social · last yr.It’s bullshit that Peter Weir hasn’t won a competitive Oscar for Best Director. That man is full of career-high heaters.
Arts Minister Tony Burke made some remarks earlier this week about Creative Australia’s decision to ditch Lebanese Australian artist Khaled Sabsabi as the pick for the 61st Venice Biennale. They didn’t get much coverage but I can’t get them out of my head. So here you go.
Aaron Swartz died because rapacious capitalists insisted that sharing knowledge and ideas — not for profit but to enrich society — was theft. Now we have a whole Silicon Valley industry devoted to undoing artistic copyright, and for what? Fake emails and shitty advertising copy.

Sad about John Marsden, some great YA books and when he got asked about the inherent xenophobia in the Tomorrow series he said he wouldn’t do it again because of how the country has come to treat refugees. Most writers his age just rant about cancel culture. Vale JM.
Great afternoon watch, just dudes hanging out and chatting cinema.

"Moneyball" (2011). Look at this amazing shot of the Oakland Coliseum at night, of Beane quietly walking across the field. Now think about it. This movie is mostly about men arguing in offices and locker rooms. Wally Pfister and his team lit the movie like it was something more.
A dear friend produced this incredibly powerful film - out in US cinemas on 10 January 2025, please support them #feral #birdeater
We were inspired and held our own pie fuelled reading of Julius Caesar. Definitely recommend!!
Roxane Gay@roxanegay.bsky.social · 2y agoWent to a gathering tonight where we did a table read of Much Ado About Nothing. With BBQ and pie. Wholesome af.
My rage over how genAI is impacting our collective willingness to write is now such that I find myself yelling as soon as anyone brings it up in casual conversation.
Beyond the attempt to appear “relatable” the actual problem with this is that Spotify is part of the reason why smaller Australians acts the PM is highlighting are struggling. There’s various policies that could help (taxes to fund arts, quotas etc) but he is doing nothing while plugging the company

We didn’t understand you’re supposed to pay to send screeners to critics (an eblast quote to just one group was $13k… have to budget that next time). It’s widely available on the internet! We prefer Kanopy, you just need a library card and it’s free. U still have a library card… RIGHT?!
