Today is a big anniversary day for my first feature, JAKE. 24 June 2009, we began principal photography. 24 June 2013, we had the cast and crew screening. 24 June 2014, we had our public premiere. To celebrate, I've made it free on Vimeo for a wee bit. vimeo.com/1203609792/0...

Wild to me that Oliver Tree has died. When I first started working corporate nonsense (instead of hospo) I joined spotify so I could have some sounds to help me work. With no algorithm yet, it offered me a track called "Movement" by Oliver Tree. Never heard anything like it. Kinda changed my life.

Picked up a few records on my trip to NZ but none more precious than this one. Yes, they both sing on it.

It's a fucking LP of the TV show Moonlighting!!

Rise of The Machines

Fred Flentstone stands, hands on his hips, looking incredulously at Barney Rubble, who is at the corner of the panel barely visible. He appears to wearing tiny sunglasses.
"C'mon Barn, what's with the getup? and what is that on your head?" Fred asks.
"oh this, Fred?"
We now see Barney is also wearing a black trench coat and smoking a cigarette. A small bird is taped to the side of his head. "Just the latest in cybernetic enhancement technology- wired right into my brain."

The background dissolves and Barney stands next to a free floating diagram of a human body with several small birds going into it and says "we're entering a new age, Fred- the synthesis of man and machine as one flesh. This is the future. It's hack or be hacked."
Fred looks incredulous.

The bird pecks Barney.

Barney puts his hands on his head and screams "the machines are turning against us! We have built God only for him to destroy us!" as the bird continues to peck at him.

Given they used ai in their ai apology, it's probably safe to assume that granta use ai to judge their stories, thus the ai judge liked the ai story and that's why it was published/won. A real shame. Used to love reading granta.

While in Germany, Eloise somehow found me an LP of one my literal favourite and most watched (and most obscure) films: Peter Watkin's Privilege (1967). Wild to me that I now own this!!

LP of Privilege, next to my well-watched BFI Flipside of the film.

This tagline also applies to all the houseplants eloise left me in charge of while she's in Germany for three weeks.

A belated birthday gift from @cinemelo.bsky.social! The complete Night Gallery on bluray from @imprintfilms.bsky.social. Rod Serling is one of my heroes and I *love* season 2 - the only season I've had access to. Until now! Comes with a sick book of all the paintings.

this is also my main gripe with most movies

Eddie Murphy as Rudy Ray Moore in Dolemite is My Name, complaining about Lemmon's and Matthau's The Front Page: "It ain't got no titties, no funny, and no kung fu"

Always love when the title card is part of the film's environment. Last night's viewing of The Beautiful, the Bloody, and the Bare (1964) had a great one!

I am once again reminded of the time I was in my 20s and it was New Years Eve and I was walking into town when I went "ah fuck it" and went home and watched all of Sátántangó alone on dvd instead.

It is probably worth mentioning that I did not get around to seeing One Battle After Another, which sounds so aggressively my jam I am a little afraid of it. Maybe some time in '26.
