Why Can’t All Workplaces Be This Much Fun? 

Heima - Finally! 

My weekend was quite frankly perfect. I’m not going to go into particulars since this is a pop-culture blog and not a personal diary but I can say that amongst the many, many, many, many, many, many, many highlights was finally getting around to watching the Sigur Ros documentary - Heima. After having anticipating this film for so long, I can finally say that if you love amazing Icelandic imagery and the music of Sigur Ros, you will have died and gone to heaven. It truly is spectacular in every sense of the word. And as much as I would have liked to have seen this in the cinema, my conditions were even better. But even still, taking those out of the equation, it is still one of the best visual documentaries I have ever seen. It keeps the members of the band still pretty much a mystery so don’t expect a Sigur Ros biopic. But I prefer not knowing too much about the members themselves and rather let the music do the talking. I only made in through disk one which contains the film but disk two is loaded with just over 2 and half hours of live performances. Even the DVD design itself is brilliant. A must buy.

Ruth and Greg’s Wedding 

I turned wedding photographer for a day on the weekend. I shot it for a friend of my sisters up in Daylesford. It was the perfect time of the year because it’s incredibly green up there and despite the raining falling seconds after the ceremony finished, it was a lovely day for the couple. The trickiest part I found was getting the bride and groom portraits under the shitty conditions (it was raining by then and dark under the trees). I can’t imagine I will be shooting another wedding anytime soon and quite frankly, I’d rather be the informal photographer than the formal one. It’s a long, quite tedious day.

• • Canon 50D

    Seems like it's real. 15MP of fun :)

  • 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.

  • Entourage Season 5

    The new season kicks off September 7 so mark those calendars.

  • Google Street View Hits Australia

    They have covered a decent area.

  • Aronofsky to direct Robocop reimaginating?

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