You’re Gonna Need a Bigger Boat! 

Went on a 6 hour fishing charter over the weekend in Hastings with some mates and caught some decent size snapper. I gotta say the most difficult thing to do on a 10 person boat is not trying to catch the fish. It’s trying to relieve yourself off the bow, when the wind is blowing in all sorts of crazy directions and the boat is rocking like crazy. It can be done but it’s highly stressful and I can’t recommend it to anyone.

I scored a nice big snapper (pictured in the bucket below) which went down well at the post-fishing BBQ. The one thing I regret though was forgetting to reapply my sunscreen because now my head resembles one big giant sore nipple. Trust me, the laughs I got at work this morning are still going around.

Photo in Beat Mag 

So I’m flicking through Beat mag this week, checking out what’s going on this weekend and a photo I took was used for the Melbourne Purple Sneakers promo. Where’s my cash? Ahahahaha only kidding. It’s all for the love baby!

Summer Films 2005 

Thumbsucker
Got cult flick written all over it and comparisons to Donnie Darko have been thrown around since this is another youth alienation picture from a debut feature filmmaker. But I hear it’s got some great performances and the characters are well written. Big fan of Tilda Swinton too.

Me and You and Everyone We Know
Another debut feature this time from Miranda July (who also stars). This film won the Special Jury Prize for “Originality of Vision” at the 2005 Sundance Film Festival, David and Margaret loved it, and it’s been lauded everywhere as ‘highly original’. Something we’re hearing less and less of particularly in American cinema.

  • Best Online Media Converter

    The best online video converter I've found! Greatest results for youtube conversions come from converting to the .flv video format first and then use another converter to get it to .mov or .mp4 (H264).

  • Transport Expert says 'Fire Connex'

    I couldn't agree more with this. Everyone in Melbourne knows how bad they are. Let's fire them and ensure this kind of thing happens with a new service too.

  • Death Cab For Cutie @ The Palace

    Went to this last night. A great show. They played a lot of older material much to the delight of Lyndsay and myself (plenty of stuff off Transatlanticism :) ) No camera though :(

  • Billy Bob Thornton as Freddy Krueger?

    According to this site. I treat this as a rumour so far but if we are going to accept a remake, Thornton would make a decent choice.

  • 46 minutes of live Sigur Rós

    Via Current. Oh yes.

  • Tropic Thunder Attacked By Mental Disability Groups

    I understand where these groups are coming from but it is a comedy made by Ben Stiller who is sattiritising Hollywood who capitialise on people with disabilities.

    Well according to AICN. I love the original and Aronofsky is always an interesting director so I could totally dig this.
