#NowWatching on the say-so of @morrbeat, the name I trust when it comes to VOD action, DOMINIQUE, which was clearly made for loose change but has a good whack of gritty, sweaty, life-is-cheap energy. Australia should make five of these a year
If you were an overseas viewer with no idea who any of the real-life characters in LAST KING OF THE CROSS s2 are, you would 100% come away from the final episode convinced that the mystery gunman in the second last scene was Kyle Sandilands
My name is Plum (ahh-ahh)
And I am funky
When it comes to sport (ahh-ahh)
I am a junkie
Hurt me!

My debut novel DOUBLE HAPPINESS is out in the world now! An unconventional, philosophical love story set in Melbourne over 7 years. Thanks to @thebooksdesk and MidnightSun Publishing for taking a chance. #Polyamory #nonmonogamy
Tip for Melbourne film makers: now that they’ve dropped in a few shiny high rises, there’s no better location for your gritty cyberpunk thriller than the centre of Footscray
The vibe around here is rapidly changing from "a bunch of haters who are just doing a bit and are decent enough people offline" to "a bunch of haters who are just bone-deep haters all day every day"
Think they mean “retired from stringing words together” because whatever he was doing the last few decades it sure wasn’t blah blah etc
I'm somewhat fond of Australian crime drama, and while this season is a slow starter, the two lead characters / brothers in LAST KING OF THE CROSS are easily compelling enough to keep you watching. My review for @ScreenHub: screenhub.com.au/news/review…
Pretty sure I already saw this a decade ago when I walked into a cinema toilet after a media screening to find Melbourne’s top critic / promo t-shirt billboard in a cubicle naked from the waist down
A combination of factors has largely pushed me out of film reviewing over the last year or so and yeah, once you’re outside that bubble it’s really, really clear just how far down the profession has been pushed by every other part of the film business
And like the rest of the media, English language film criticism has consolidated globally to the point where maybe two dozen people matter worldwide - and last time I checked, none of them were in Australia
"What about Western Sydney?" isn't so much a devastating counter-argument to Australia's cultural monoculture as it is just another example of it
Was reminded of a Dread Zeppelin song earlier today, which may very well make me the first person to think about Dread Zeppelin this century
