@crobertcargill.bsky.social Remember that BATTLETRUCK helicopter shot story I told you about? A friend unearthed pictures of it from some obscure promo material!

Nick Cave is one of my favourite artists in the world … but these days he’s flogging merch like a man at Walter White levels of ‘providing for my family’.

Amazing premiere screening of BLACK SHEEPS. Incredible, warm crowd – who made lots of noise when we did something cool or gross!
A huge movie theatre shot from the screen’s POV. The room is mostly full.

Hot take (from Belgium): if the CGI Tintin movie had gone with this look – rather than the ‘you can see the pores of their skin’ bullshit (and, you know, not decided they could write a better ending than Hergé) – it could have been an all timer.

It’s up to the media to ascertain whether or not Luxon murdered a homeless person on a dare in 2002. That’s not appropriate if that’s the case but equally I’m sure he hasn’t done that.

And yet when I do it somehow it’s ’disorderly conduct’ and ‘wilful damage’.

What the fuck does ‘a select few’ mean? Is that a ‘cyclists are elitist’ dogwhistle?

This is one of the most cartoonishly evil things over ever read from a NZ politician: ACT will freeze minimum wage … “and workers can have a pay rise when productivity rises”.

Given the child is the only person mentioned in this newsflash, I’m guessing they’re the one responsible.

We’re so excited that it’s been announced at last that BLACK SHEEPS will have its world premiere at the Sitges International Film Festival, the biggest genre festival in the world, in Spain in October!

Young people today won’t believe you when you tell them that hat wearing in the early 1980s wasn’t just ubiquitous but almost universally mandatory, and that a band calling themselves Men Without Hats pretty much branded them as dangerous lunatics.

Can I suggest that the cycle lane doesn’t make it more complicated to walk to parliament but it probably makes it more complicated to pick him up outside his apartment and drive (the 8m) to parliament.

Mad respect to this dude for getting the title of his favourite Hitchcock movie tattooed across his face. Probably graphically an easier choice than, say, The Trouble With Harry.
