I had high expectations for HG CATCHING FIRE and was suitably impressed; I’d like it to have more allegory, but can’t fault the adaptation

wonderful essay on design and the web, inspiring, and beautifully presented: What Screens Want by @fchimero frankchimero.com/what-screens-w…

not sure about THE COUNSELOR; wonderfully plotted and acted, and some really great moments, but a bit too dark and crass, even if the point

17November2013 01:17

for Sri Lanka to contribute to decrease in refugees, should be ending their oppression of minorities, not bolstering their military #sick

some great dark, funny, and touching moments couldn’t outweigh a show-offy script with clunky characters in STC’s VERE (FAITH)

11November2013 12:25

indulged my pop culture, history and writer geek with George RR Martin et al tonight; might badly need an editor, but he’s a sharp thinker

09November2013 10:47

my final @sydsymph of the year: Britten’s remarkable WAR REQUIEM; a requiem like none I’d heard before, and a profound statement on war

08November2013 08:34

finally watched DRIVE; what a fine film! wonderfully subdued, punctuated by insane intense moments; beautiful cast, design, & soundtrack

my data usage tracking to be three times normal thanks to iOS7; and right when I reduced my data limit ’cause I wasn’t using it!

07November2013 04:41

huh, @iTunesMusic’s artist alert emails still work, even though there’s no longer an evident way to subscribe to them?

some interesting conversations about the asylum seeker ‘hot potato’ at #ThinkActChange tonight; watch the 40-min doco thehotpotato.com.au

03November2013 09:11

didn’t think ALL MY SONS was a great play, but it was grippingly performed, so well worth it; looking forward to next year’s @darlotheatre

03November2013 04:28

space fantasy and superheroes never really mix well; THOR: THE DARK WORLD does well to forgo the latter and embrace former; wonderfully nuts

#opportunity RT @GreatDismal: I don’t think the ecologies of great cities is much understood. I do think they have them.

I AM A GIRL by @becbarry is beautiful; a wonderfully engaging doco, covers its issues powerfully by letting its subjects tell their stories

30October2013 08:37

it’s a good sign when the orchestra is mesmerised by the soloist’s encore; Wu Man on the pipa with @sydsymph was beautiful

27October2013 04:20

oh @festivalsider thanks for the pointers on the #sydfest program — picked up a few tix on your recommendation

27October2013 04:11

both THE SERPENT’S TABLE and @ice_org_au’s THE CALLING all but sold out; got lucky with @sydney_festival’s early access hub at town hall

26October2013 11:43

bribery=capitalism RT @MikeCarlton01: Socialism ! abc.net.au/news/2013-10-2… So what’s bribing big polluters not to pollute, then ?

26October2013 11:21

also saw 2 GUNS today; as dumb as expected, but also very funny, with Denzel Washington and Mark Wahlberg both in fine form

26October2013 11:18

a night of fresh young independent dance at @RiversideParra with Dance Makers Collective; some very promising performers and choreographers

26October2013 02:20

trying to pick a trashy movie: 2 GUNS or THE FAMILY? former looks solid but predictable, latter is Luc Besson (+) but De Niro (-)
