I mean, if my dad actually listened to doctors when I was a kid and got an autism diagnosis done, he'd probably still be in my life, but given he's a narcissist that would never happen.

Like, I'm glad he persists. He's there, pushing along, doing his thing, turning into an ageing teenager. He looks young, but then he's getting wrinkles too. Maybe it's all the money he gets from his songs being used in ads. Or something. He likes Tropical Fuck Storm, so there's that.

I mean, who bought the album I'm Fun!? Probably a fair few. Maybe more than bought Ben Lee Sings Songs About Islam for the Whole Family. Which might not be a bad album, but would just further distance me from my family.

I could just comment on an Instagram post to say this, but I'm not sure that would work. It's also not enough to go to a Ben Lee gig and wear a shirt saying 'you're in my dreams Ben Lee and I don't know why'. I'm not even that big a Ben Lee fan.

Andrew F Peirce @ghostjingles.bsky.social · 16/07/2026

I have a recurring dream where Ben Lee is just... there. He's not doing anything, but often he just appears like that guy in the room. I know he's there. He knows I know he's there. That's it. For some reason, I need Ben Lee to know this.

Can't be that resilient if they turn themselves into biscuits, can they?

Full trains to the footy are fun, especially when there's people who love speaking to people on the loudspeaker on their phone. Someone is zenning out on the other side of the train and focusing on being anywhere but here. Kids are unmedicated and bouncing around the walls.

One of the most terrifying images in history: Gaza transformed from life into death. Gaza in 2023 and 2026 💔

Before-and-after aerial comparison of Gaza showing the same urban area in 2023 and 2026. The top image shows a dense coastal city with apartment blocks, roads, a mosque-like building, cars, and a strip of beach under a blue sky. The bottom image shows the area in gray ruins, with collapsed buildings, rubble-filled streets, destroyed infrastructure, and the damaged remains of the same landmark building. The image presents Gaza transformed from a living city into a devastated landscape. UNOSAT and UNESCO have documented widespread damage to buildings and cultural sites in Gaza since October 2023.

Simply horrific:

Screenshot of an excerpt from an article published by Amnesty International (https://www.amnesty.org.au/israel-opt-newly-adopted-death-penalty-law-must-be-repealed/). Excerpt reads as follows:

The new law explicitly creates two legal frameworks for the use of the death penalty in the occupied West Bank, excluding the illegally annexed East Jerusalem, and in Israel. Military courts in the occupied West Bank will be authorised to impose the death penalty against Palestinians convicted of deliberate killings in actions that are defined as terrorist acts under Israel’s discriminatory counter-terrorism law. Only under special circumstances that the bill fails to specify will courts be allowed to order a life sentence – and life sentence only – instead.

Very fucked that this is seeing almost no coverage by the media: Israel has amended their penal laws to empower military courts in the West Bank to impose the death penalty against Palestinians. This is supremely fucked. www.amnesty.org.au/israel-opt-n...

Desperation by Stephen King. Maybe not too young, but younger than it's intended. So many paragraphs about the villains dick.

Andrew F Peirce @ghostjingles.bsky.social · 22/03/2026

(Maybe one other aspect is that many writers confuse writing about revolutionary cinema with modern activism, and the two simply aren't related. Because someone did something decades ago it does not mean that that overlaps or provides a template for the now.)

Anyhow, French cinema. I'm grumpy about it for no real good reason other than other filmic movements exist.

Andrew F Peirce @ghostjingles.bsky.social · 22/03/2026

I don't know what's brought on this long thread, but I'm sure it's something I'll expand upon down the line. I'm fully aware it reads like a grumpy old man being grumpy for no reason, so in articulating it comes across as petty or childish.

Andrew F Peirce @ghostjingles.bsky.social · 22/03/2026

One final observation or issue is the romanticisation of French new wave cinema, as if it's the standing beacon for all cinema. It isn't, even if there are plenty of great films in it.

100

Andrew F Peirce @ghostjingles.bsky.social · 22/03/2026

It's also a frustration when focused consumption of film media comes from the same well, it then means that everything can only be viewed through that prism. Would it pain these writers to look at Russian cinema? To maybe glimpse at Wakaliwood for a change? Or Canadian cinema for that matter.

Andrew F Peirce @ghostjingles.bsky.social · 22/03/2026

This long thread of rambling nonsense isn't overtly directed at any one person or group. It's just a growing trend I'm witnessing where exclusionary $20 words are thrown in the mix when the author has no clear understanding what it actually means. It just sounds smart.

100

Andrew F Peirce @ghostjingles.bsky.social · 22/03/2026

Dialogues about non-French films, or even non-French inspired films, inevitably get brought back to French cinema. My frustration then stems from the lens that all other cinema is viewed through. Asian cinema should not be viewed through the lens of 'how did French cinema inform this?'

100

Andrew F Peirce @ghostjingles.bsky.social · 22/03/2026

That may sound like sour grapes, like I'm frustrated by not being included. I'm not. It's more that I've noticed a trend where the conversations about these films then inform conversations about non-French films, as if there's an expectation that they need to be more, well, French.

100

Andrew F Peirce @ghostjingles.bsky.social · 22/03/2026

This is a mostly Melbournian movement, one that is clearly informed by the education or the accessibility to retrospective screenings of these films. The conversations that flow out of those screenings feel equally insular, inclusive to those in the room and them alone.

100

Andrew F Peirce @ghostjingles.bsky.social · 22/03/2026

Conversations about French cinema never feel like an invitation to explore the works that make it up. It often feels, well, like an education point, a lesson, something to learn from rather than emotionally engage with. 'This filmmaker is doing this because of that.'

100

Andrew F Peirce @ghostjingles.bsky.social · 22/03/2026

The other aspect is how tied to academia French cinema is. It's the cinema of the 'intellectual', and because of that it feels so distinctly exclusionary to me. 'You may only engage with this if you have immersed yourself in the entire filmography of Rohmer.'

100

Andrew F Peirce @ghostjingles.bsky.social · 22/03/2026

You can't just make a film that's like the French 'masters' and expect a revolution to occur or a new movement of filmmaking. That's not how movements or changes in film culture comes about.

100

Andrew F Peirce @ghostjingles.bsky.social · 22/03/2026

I know why it is - the connection between film criticism and filmmaking is maybe the most keenly felt in the French new wave movement, one brought about by filmmakers who felt a need to revolutionise their cinema. But simply replicating the style of that in Australia won't have the same result here.

110

Andrew F Peirce @ghostjingles.bsky.social · 22/03/2026

Because of... things... I'm growing to have an unreasonable hate towards French cinema. Used to enjoy it, find it ok, but lately just the basic mention of some of the major filmmakers in the new wave era is making me get irrationally grumpy.

120

Andrew F Peirce @ghostjingles.bsky.social · 21/03/2026

And for the record: the film looks and sounds awful. But it's also not like they're aiming for high quality having beacons of society like Kyle Sandilands and Chuck Norris involved.

Andrew F Peirce @ghostjingles.bsky.social · 21/03/2026

Don't like the guy so don't much care for the sensitivity of this, but... The filmmakers of Zombie Plane just got an easy marketing win when they eventually, finally, one day, somehow release that film by saying 'Chuck Norris' final film'.
