read, watch, listen: June 2012
http://read-watch-listen.blogspot.com/2012_06_01_archive.html
Tuesday, June 26, 2012. It was my thirtieth birthday last Wednesday, and I was determined to take myself and the kidlet out and do A Thing during the day instead of sitting around incessantly shaking a stuffed robot at her and singing songs about Masterchef. Contestants. Unfortunately, the only option was the terrible-looking Rock of Ages. 8220;Hit Me With Your Best Shot. Monday, June 11, 2012. One of the cinemas at Hoyts Victoria Gardens has this perfect little oasis called the Crying Room. Maybe ni...

read, watch, listen: bachelorette
http://read-watch-listen.blogspot.com/2012/11/bachelorette.html
Saturday, November 10, 2012. Make me feel like getting married is a complete lapse of judgement that will end with you in some kind of physical or emotional pain on what is touted as the best day of your life. I also am beginning to think that I have a very rare thing in my life: friends who are not assholes. Is it really that hard not to be an asshole? Says: apparently it is very hard. Will they encounter handsome men? Will they all die at the end in a fiery explosion? WE CAN ONLY HOPE SO. I'm one of th...

Sunday, October 30, 2011. It’s an interesting concept ruined once you try to think about it longer than thirty seconds. It’s an allegory for the power money has over people: after all, if you can’t afford shelter, food, or medical care, what hope do you have? 1) They never explain why society evolved like it did. I’m happy to take leaps of faith, but you have to give me something. 2) There are so many corny time/money jokes, it’s like someone as cheesy as me wrote the damn thing. 12) How does it all WORK?

read, watch, listen: las vegas for vegans, a s patric
http://read-watch-listen.blogspot.com/2013/03/las-vegas-for-vegans-s-patric.html
Friday, March 22, 2013. Las vegas for vegans, a s patric. 8212;because I have a choice about when I finish it. Las Vegas for Vegans. Was given to me by the author back when it came out, late last year, and I started it straight away. About five months later, I finished it on my couch, the baby finally asleep in her room, an expanse of time in front of me that was exactly right for Las Vegas for Vegans. Come one, come all.

Monday, November 28, 2011. The ides of march. Despite my general lack of knowledge about the intricacies of politics, I don’t mind watching movies with a political bent. After I wrote that sentence, I had a think about political movies and realised that they’re mostly satires (and I do love a good opportunity to say “Oooohhh, sick presidential burn”) or thrillers (“No, Mr President! There’s a bomb on Air Force One! Didn’t give much away—treachery! 8212;we all knew it would be worthwhile. I mean, what wou...

Monday, January 16, 2012. The skin i live in. So, onto things I know! I know I generally love Antonio but found him completely alarming in this film; I know that the acting was amazing from everyone. Almodovar is adept at getting nuances out of actors who get offered Western roles that aren’t quite as meaty (Penelope Cruz, for example, is excellent in Volver. But more popular in the fourth Pirates of the Caribbean. Where does the right of revenge end? Why do people ask rhetorical questions anyway? Quirky...

http://read-watch-listen.blogspot.com/2012/09/kath-kimderella.html
Monday, September 17, 2012. Have you heard of the sandwich way of criticism? It’s when you need to say something bad about someone who you’re trying to encourage, or who you like, or who will roll up their manuscript/screenplay/comic and beat you about the head with it if you are mean. (I am this person.) You sandwich the bad criticism between good criticism. Like, for instance, Kath and Kimderella. I enjoyed the first season of Kath and Kim. A nice gentle criticism sandwich. Come one, come all. It's not...
