    Irony Maiden vs Mummies Boy?
    a mash up where Bruce Dickinson
    meets Emily Dickinson...

    As far as I'm concerned it should be compulsory for Warren Oates to be cast in every New Zealand film. He might not show up due to a scheduling conflict with his death, but that dude was awesome.

    Damn! and I was hoping he'd be in the new movie "Bring me the Android Head of Philip K Dick"

  • Random Play: Fiji or not Fiji, that is…,

    if there are still some lawyers left in Fiji...
    the locals are very leery of getting a "barracking"...

  • Hard News: The Commission, and creative risk,

    And what about something particularly controversial - in other words, could there be another Sleeping Dogs...

    you'd hope, Sleeping Dogs was a triple win for all involved and the audience as well...
    kick starting the modern local film industry, sourced from a New Zealand literary source (CK Stead's Smith's Dream) and a great kiwi soundtrack!

    The ripples from that small pebble in a small pond are still crashing ashore - witness the careers of many involved - Sam Neill, Ian Mune, Roger Donaldson, Larry Parr, Murray Grindlay, Don Selwyn, Arthur Baysting, Michael Seresin, Alun Bollinger, Geoff Murphy, Ian Watkin, Davina Whitehouse, hell Dougal Stevenson even played himself!

    There's a doco about the making of it
    and a helpful piece at the NZ Film Archive

    whatever happened to the overseas talent - Warren Oates?

  • Busytown: A Thought Went Up My Mind,

    I do question the fact that it's raining men who are wearing undies with sports socks, though. That's... problematic.

    a veritable malestorm...
    if you are have a problem attic
    it may be faulty flashing
    - hence the drips in socks 'n' grunds

    On the other hand, if the socks had Union Jacks on them, would it be all right?

    Union Jocks, surely?


    let's turn the heat up and cross the Berlin wall (Irving that is)...

    also from near Berlin, but not Irving - Who knew?

    not to be confused with this fine Disco whine from Martha's Vineyard

    and The Muppets do a great version too...

    lightening in a bottle

    would this be mini-net-movies like "Bleached as"?

  • Busytown: A Thought Went Up My Mind,

    atopical heatwave?

    The temperature's rising, it isn't surprising...

    I guess Ethel Merman won't need an ark
    but Marilyn could Monroe the boat...

    it's reigning men...
    of course if it's Weather Girls you want
    then... Humidity's rising, barometer's getting low,
    according to all sources the street's the place to go...

  • Busytown: A Thought Went Up My Mind,

    Dickinson, Death, and Watermelon Salad

    I like it , but surely Richard Brautigan's lawyers would have something to say ... I wonder how the battle with Apple over iDEATH* is going? :- )
    Maybe the working title could be more...
    Melon-colic ...

  • Busytown: A Thought Went Up My Mind,

    Do the Strand - hairs looking at you kid...
    (fade away never...)

    Lots of fun/ghoulish/interesting stuff, but what sticks in my mind is the small display of those Victorian floral wall hangings made entirely from the deceased's hair. (Does the prospect of hairy little flowers on the wall make you all throw up a little, mentally? I feel quite gaggy, remembering it, but I'm not sure why it's so incredibly gross to me.)

    no need to wig out...
    these distressing barberous practices
    are knot a Victorian mourning sickness
    just a sentimental inversion of
    'gone today, hair tomorrow'
    a way of splitting hairs for heirs
    though this may be hearsay

    sweaters...

    or heatwavelength

    I have just heard from a friend that it is
    104 degrees Fahrenheit in New Jersey today!
    maybe they should rename it New Tank Top...
