been out photo-shooting on the pier at walsh bay; great scenery there, and the gloomy weather really suited the mood

25June2010 12:05

watched taken; an enjoyable enough thriller but its socio-politics are oh so regressive; saving white girls from foreign men

24June2010 09:32

this means another #spill right? RT @ellyhart: Yahoo!7 poll shows Julia Gillard trails Tony Abbott as preferred leader, 45% to 55%.

23June2010 12:20

love that Julia Gillard is trending worldwide; be cool to see her PM, but I fear she's gonna be left in charge of a party with no narrative

23June2010 10:50

fed labor still acting like they're in opposition — a spill, really? keep this up and they'll soon be back in opp where they're comfortable

22June2010 09:33

abandoning facebook; not going to delete my account, but losing the twitter updates and the daily visits; the noise just not working for me

20June2010 09:29

aside, #getoffmylawn is full of awesome; these are my people!

20June2010 09:24

finding that, while I love eating out, I'm not a fan of other people — the latter makes it difficult to appreciate the former #getoffmylawn

20June2010 07:30

finally read iain banks' wasp factory: wow! a gripping, brutal tale of power, violence and gender

19June2010 14:27

soccer, tho, I still find really difficult to watch: seems really clumsy; it can't just be that these two world class teams aren't very good

19June2010 11:55

despite the wallabies losing, was a great game of rugby, and reminds me how much I enjoy watching union

17June2010 22:56

off to melbourne for the weekend; glad I managed to leave the computer behind!

17June2010 12:25

Academy Twin Cinemas closing at the end of the month :( http://bit.ly/aGwFxQ /via @kid_twist

enjoyed new york i love you with @melalicious; lovely storytelling, felt like simply picking out a few threads from the city's rich tapestry

14June2010 06:26

Agreed! RT @kid_twist: Glad jury gave honourable mention to WASTED: [...] We need to encourage bold storytelling in Aus #sydfilmfest

14June2010 04:29

summers wars: good fun, scifi-lite set against family drama; creative (naïve?) online world; somewhat uneven storytelling #sydfilmfest

13June2010 11:03

wasted on the young was tough at times, very over-the-top, but incredibly well constructed, with gorgeous cinematography #sydfilmfest

13June2010 08:39

didn't help that the film's death highlighted that I really didn't care about the struggles of boring rich capitalists #sydfilmfest #iamlove

13June2010 08:37

my #sydfilmfest dud: I Am Love showed promise, but half way, things just started *happening* for no reason; it fell apart, not in a good way

12June2010 02:49

bit conflicted, but on balance I "enjoyed" killer inside me; predictable, shakespearean, brilliantly told and acted, visceral #sydfilmfest

11June2010 23:45

something nice about a film in the state theatre first thing in the morning, everyone grabbing breakfast and reading the paper #sydfilmfest

11June2010 06:34

The Hunger was notably missing from #sydfilmfest's vampire retrospective, but no more; shame i can't make the session http://bit.ly/cqlhes

11June2010 05:11

sydney opera house are screening akira with live score by regurgitator — looks like a must-see, 8 august — http://bit.ly/9DsY2i

10June2010 12:06

room becoming available again at the end of the month; 250pw in surry hills; it's a bargain!

10June2010 10:29

adrian grenier's teenage paparazzo was really good; an exploration of the cult of celebrity told with surprising warmth and character

09June2010 13:27

runaways audience either women fans of the band (me: who?) or girl fans of kristen stewart (me: twilight?); both were justified #sydfilmfest

09June2010 09:03

left work too late for creativesydney and too early for sydfilmfest; instead, to a bar for a drink and to draw up plans for world domination

08June2010 12:04

enjoyed The Shipment; loved act 2 and especially 3, but the opening with it's comedy routine fell flat: racism hard to contextualise

06June2010 12:31

lourdes is a great story, well told; I do like the RED cam; could've done with some more production attention and a tighter cut #sydfilmfest

06June2010 10:14

disappointed with dinner at wildfire; food was decent but didn't quite live up to expectations; was impressed with the wine recommendations

05June2010 22:59

05June2010 22:32

anne fontaine's nathalie is a great tale of infidelity, fantasy and power; wasn't sure what to expect but became all about the relationships

05June2010 08:26

au revoir taipei was a great, fun film; almost too cute but stayed on the adorable side of twee #sydfilmfest

03June2010 21:56

saw kathryn bigelow's near dark last night; nicely structured, beautifully shot in parts, worthy inclusion in vampire canon #sydfilmfest

02June2010 13:26

great start to #sydfilmfest; I don't normally like horror but possessed was excellent — near pitch perfect, good balance shock/atmosphere

02June2010 09:22

loving that sydney has a whole lot of festival on at once; sitting at the vivid festival bar prior to my first sydfilmfest session

30May2010 11:39

lou reed's metal machine trio at @vividsydneyfest was amazing! 100 minutes of noise and my mind is blown; lots of ppl gave up and walked out

29May2010 12:49

i'm loving k'naan in appearances with nas and jr gong, but i hear that waving flag (world cup) song and it sounds horribly amateur

29May2010 08:19

highly recommend laser skirmish! all the thrill of running around the bush with guns, none of the pain of paintball, or of real war at that

28May2010 23:07

been scoping out a hypothetical public transport mobile app at work recently; I'm now riding the train and finding myself wanting to use it!
