thinking about leigh whannell...

This was a joke……………….

Sorry to be controversial but….I was into this Ethan Hawke life coach/spiritual leader renaissance before everyone else. I was watching his Ted Talk while you were still rewatching Training Day. I was planning on getting his quotes about art tattooed on me when you had already moved onto Maya Hawke.

My dear friend Ned made this track and it instantly takes me back to summer circa 2010 when we REALLY didn’t know how good we had it. Do some time travel by cranking this banger. Fans of The Pitt may recognize Ned! He’s the guy singing who shouldn’t legally be allowed to have that jawline in his 40s

Last rave review goes to YOU - the people I will most likely never have the privilege of meeting in person, the ticket buyers and movie fans who have allowed me to indulge my own day dreams and sometimes bash them into movies…the people I owe everything to. If you see me, say hi so I can say thanks.

Next rave review: a film called The Plague. Whilst not strictly a horror film, it is tense and unnerving in ways that dig under your skin with barbed hooks. Directed with such confidence by Charlie Polinger and featuring some of - if not THE - best acting from teenagers I’ve ever seen, this one hits

Time for some good reviews. I just finished reading this first rate crime thriller by S.A. Cosby. The whole book is a tense, white-knuckle ride from start to finish. And Cosby delivers a masterclass on how to make your readers be VERY afraid of your villains. Surely a limited series is in the works?

happy happy birthday leigh!

Thanks for all the birthday love, legends.

Such is the Videodrome-esque gravitational pull of social media that I occasionally feel guilty for never posting here. In order to atone for my sins, ask me any questions and I’ll check in and answer them.

This is my favourite song from the album right now. Not sure if it was intentional but it gives The Sword vibes in the best way.

Absolutely fucking loving the new album Something To Consume from Die Spitz. It shreds. Please listen to it.

Philip Seymour Hoffman’s delivery of the line “…cos I work on the films so if you ever, you know…” in this scene is some of the greatest acting of all time. RIP to this genius.
