  • Hard News: Space for Ol Dat I See,

    While searching for things mentioned above, being so inclined, I found the VisWiki page on Dylan Taite. It has 7 interviews including Darcy Clay, Jeff Buckley (which I was pleased to find) and Bob Marley. Oh, and John Rowles. No Lou though, and it would have been too much to expect given Michael's story.

    Pause for preview and search for errant apostrophes.

    That reminds me of the sign on a building off Newton Rd.

  • Random Play: The Big Day Out: Lambs to…,

    Oh, phew. I knew that, but I didn't know whether it was official-like yet.

    Felt a bit naughty being the one posting it here, but I was so excited, just had to share it. The thought of him planning ahead to do a concert with his mates fills me with great joy, and I am just a fan.

    Excuse the interruption but Chris Knox and The Nothing are playing Laneways. They decided the secret was out, so now it is...

    "HELP I"M BEING HELD CAPTIVE IN A PAS LITERARY THREAD. THURSDAY, ARE YOU OUT THERE?"

    Ok, so it is now an established fact that I am a nut in a shell. Can I be a Brazil nut, as our soil is low in Selenium?

    Nice article Philip. I still struggle with the characterisations in both the book and the movie, and to try and explore the themes mentioned (I lost count after Sexual Sadism, Nazism, Corporate corruption, institutionalized abuse and systemic/endemic misogyny) in either a seat-of-the-pants novel, or the fairly disjointed (IMhO) movie adaptation seemed a bit hopeful.

    But then as has been discussed by the Dr's in residence, the 'reality' of a 'fiction' becomes the wider expression about what it says in relation to society (paraphrasing, sorry), or what those in society say in relation to 'it', and in that respect there is plenty to learn from this book/movie.

    If they make an American version with Winona Ryder, not so much.

    What about he who saw Dragon Tattoo telling us about his PhD in Sci Fi - in a nutshell.

    In a nutshell, I don't have one, in that or anything else, which is I think what I said?

    OMG...that could be a very different movie!

    Glad someone got it ;-)

    As for the movie based on Steig Larsson's novel. Meh. The big heads from the second row of Rialto gave me a headache. Or was it the complete lack of cohesive plot, that became strangely more apparent when converted to screenplay. Am I contradicting myself? Oh well, you live and learn, with a bit of luck.

    But what does ZOMG mean?

    No idea, really, except that apparently putting a 'Z' on OMG makes it more emphatic. At least it hasn't made the Lake Superior State University 2010 List of Banished Words yet.

    PAS patch for first person to use them in a sentence. I would, but I'm off to the movies. Dragoon Tattoo time.

    Do you have any allergies to goat blood, baby flesh, latex (we practice safe Satanic orgies), asprin, lactose or nuts? And are you prone to seizures caused by listening to backmasked Helen Clark speeches?

    Mummy! Help!

    If you mean gang-like patches, I've been trying to convince Russell to get on to that for months. He's just not exploring the merchandising potential of having all these sycophants lying around.

    Then we could get banned in China AND WHanganui. Choice!

    Yes, they give you a fix of "Belgian Witbier".

    Is that mansplaining or emasculating?
