How's it going everybody?Late blog post, I know. I was staying over a friend's house last night and we watched some really terrible films that were often rather hilarious. We watched "Future Sport", "The Secret Agent Club" and "Terminal Rush". Based on those titles alone, can you see what I mean by terrible films? These films were a dollar each and we still have two more of these films to see. So

Hello all.This week was a pretty average week. I watched some things and finished a book. Not exactly exciting, right? But then again this isn't an exciting blog. Oh snap.-----------One thing that I forgot to mention last week which I shall bring up now is that Tokyo Jihen are disbanding by the end of February which makes me very sad. Sad because they're one of my favourite bands and to know that

Howdy folks.Super delayed blog post, I know. BUT, have no fear for my memory isn't clear. Which means you won't have to suffer through a long post! Huzzah for that!------------The only thing that is of relevance this past week was the Richmond Chinese New Year Festival out at Victoria Street. I wasn't actually there for most of it though because I actually wanted to be at ACMI to help out on

How you living?Everything's been pretty awesome this week. I had a friend's 21st birthday party to attend to on Friday night which was more than fun to be at. I can't be bothered talking about it because Ellen's done that for you already. I swear I've been saying that same thing for the last few posts now...------------My order of "Batwoman: Elegy" arrived in the mail this week. Ordered it from

HAPPY NEW YEAR FOLKS!I hope everyone had a fantastic New Year's Eve celebration and ushered in 2012 with some positivity! I spent my New Year's Eve a bit differently this year and met up with my high school friends to celebrate. It was pretty much a house party for most of the night up until the part where we relocated to the beach to catch the sunrise. Oh and it was also my mate's birthday too

Hey all.This week was a pretty busy one. Most of it was spent going out to get things here and there for Christmas, working and also trying to find the best deals I can on comic books and video games (I will go to extreme lengths to get a good bargain!) So yeah, that's pretty much my crappy explanation for why this blog post is late (although who is actually reading this? Bahaha.)------------

Hello to all.Pretty average week this week which pretty much means nothing to talk about in regards to my every day life. How boring.The only amount of drama that happened was from when my television burnt down from within. And in the lamest way possbile too! There was excess ice-cream on the lid and some of it was running off the lid and into the television as I was picking it up to close off

How's it hanging?Pretty eventful week this week which was nice for a change. Started the week with some films from the Japanese Film Festival (thoughts on films below) and ended it with me completing the story mode of “Arkham City”. ------------I watched three films this year at the Japanese Film Festival, two of which were pretty underwhelming and one of which was pretty awesome.

WHAT'S HAPPENING, GUYS?My copy of "Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3" arrived in the mail this week. Still can't believe I was able to snag this game for about $35 on eBay! I'm liking the differences they've made from the previous game. Also, I'm really enjoying using two of the eight new characters, Nova and Rocket Raccoon. (Y)-------------Also, this week, I bought tickets to see two more films at

What up, bitch? Childish Gambino’s album, "Camp", finally arrived this week. I’ve been listening to the album like crazy. Dude can do no wrong. One of the songs is used as the title for this post and is also included at the very end of the post.------------ I had a ten hour shift (technically eight and a half but there was “training” involved at the beginning of the day) on Thursday. Didn’t

2011-11-20T01:27:00.001+11:00

Hey there!Okay so I probably won't be getting "Modern Warfare 3" or "Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3" any time soon because I want to be able to give myself some free time to be able to catch up on a lot of films and television shows. That's not to say that I can't buy them right now, I'd just rather not since I know that these games will destroy any chance of me watching anything.------------

Howdy guys.Short post this week. Why? Cause I didn't do anything relatively interesting this week (should that really come as a surprise to you guys?). I didn't even see any films this week. Poor me... I honestly don't remember anything from the week other than work on Monday night and Friday night as well as a trip to the Snag Stand on Thursday which was followed by window shopping for potential

Hello everybody.This week's blog post title comes straight from the "Drive" soundtrack (full thoughts on the film below). If you haven't seen the film yet, get on it and then get on the soundtrack because it is flawless.

Howdy everyone.Apologies for the delayed post. I've been busy with both work and assignments and didn't have the time to write over the weekend.I had a pretty boring week this week which means no photos of my everyday life. Boooooooooo, I know. Maybe once I get these assignments out of the way I'll actually have the time to go out. Oh wait a minute, "Uncharted 3" comes out this week and I should

Hello.Opening this post like Ellen and Eddie except I pull a stupid face.-----------Very tired. Short post. Quick and succinct. Real talk.-----------Friend's 19th birthday. Friday night.

Hello everyone.I had only two days of uni this week which meant I was practically on a five-day weekend. And what did I do during that five-day weekend? I signed up as a volunteer for SYN radio, caught up with a few animated films and got a job! Hooray for that! Talk about productivity, right?My training with SYN radio begins in late November and I look forward to going on air and presenting

How are we all?Here's me with a brand new purchase of Community's second season on DVD. A week ago it was valued at around $45 and was recently brought down to $20. Talk about a bargain, right? I'm gonna have fun devouring the commentaries and bloopers like I did with Season One.------------Uni's looking to be pretty stressful next year.

HOWDY.Today's blog post title is brought to you by Childish Gambino. Haven't heard his new song yet? Check it out and feel the awesomeness of Donald Glover seep into your mind.

Howdy ya'll.From what I can gather, this is what I got up to this week:MONDAY - Left uni early to go see friends early in the city for parma night but turns out no one was having parma so I basically came into the city for nothing. Bought some comic books for my troubles.TUESDAY - Didn't head into uni because I had already done my group presentation. So I don't think there was really any need to

Hello friends.Got up to a bit this week. Hung out with some friends in the city on Friday night. We were supposed to watch "Hobo With A Shotgun" at the Cinema Nova but I was running late so that didn't happen. Instead this happened:Yep.I also just got back from a mate's birthday just now. It was a pretty good day, good food, good friends - I would like to wish him a nice 19th birthday. I think

Hey everyone!LOOK WHAT CAME IN THE MAIL THE OTHER DAY!Yep, so I'm just gonna be wearing this "Adventure Time" shirt like everywhere now. I'm probably gonna buy one more Adventure Time shirt just so that I don't have to over rely on it (although let's face it, I tend to over rely on certain choices of clothing over and over, hohoho).------------Also attended the Korean Film Festival this weekend

It's On

2011-09-04T22:05:00.004+10:00

Hi everyone! Quick question: Should I watch "Apocalypse Now's" original cut or the newer Redux version? I really want to watch this movie but I have no idea which version I should because I hear talk that both films are radically different from each other. Anyone with some perspective on the matter should let me know either through the comments section below or through my Formspring or Tumblr.

The big news this week is that I attended Manifest for the fourth year in a row! I've been documenting my visits to Manifest for the past few years here on my blog and for those who've stuck it out with me since the beginning (although I feel like as though those people don't read my blog anymore) they can probably see that Manifest gets bigger and better every year. Manifest is one of the things

HARROOOOO! Heh, Mana Bar dress code. The only thing I did this week that was worthy of a small mention here on my blog is that I visited Melbourne's Mana Bar. Pretty small place, a lot smaller than I had imagined but a pretty awesome venue nonetheless. The drinks were pretty expensive though which has discouraged me from ever buying another drink there. The main draw of the bar though is the

WHAT TIME IS IT? Certainly not Adventure Time! Although I would love for it to be Adventure Time all the time. But no, it's just time for another weekly update. ------------ Oh look! I actually got out of the house to hang out with awesome people this weekend. I was at my mate's going away surprise party last night and had a pretty good time with friends. ____________

Hey guys. Someone on Formspring asked for me to show my movie ticket stubs. Well here they are. Money wasted.

Hello friends.(Just gonna say up front that this post is pretty much dominated by my thoughts on the "Norwegian Wood" movie as it is very long.)------------Went back to uni this week which was ever so exciting (sarcasm if you weren't aware). Classes this year consist of me writing for documentary/non-fiction stories and radio. I also have a class in screen criticism as well. The way I see it, I

Hello!Is it bad that this week has mostly been a haze for me? I can remember going to see WWE wrestler, CM Punk win the WWE Championship at Hoyts, this past week (which by the way was an amazing moment ever) which renewed my interest in a fake sport. Oh and I also caught up with a good friend mine we went to go see the final "Harry Potter" (although I didn't include a review of it this week)but

Hey everyone.So I decided that I'll watch four films from MIFF, those being:Martha Marcy May MarleneNorwegian WoodSubmarineBeing ElmoNow I was going to include either "Super" and "Hobo With A Shotgun" in there but that was just a really hard decision. Thankfully "13 Assassins" will get distributed here through the Cinema Nova so I won't really be missing out on seeing that on the big screen.-----

WHY HELLO THERE.MONDAY: Went to see "Oldboy" at The Astor Theatre. Ugh, talk about enhancing my love for a favourite movie even more. The score for "Oldboy" sounds so much more richer in the cinema and some of the memorable scenes like the hallway fight look even more outstanding. Now I just need to wait for "Star Wars", "Fight Club", "In the Mood for Love" and "Taxi Driver" to screen on at the

SUP?Oh look, two new acquistions from JB Hi-Fi's awesome sale of DVDs. I will be forever JB Hi-Fi's bitch. Pretty tragic. Also my infatuation with Rose Byrne has to come to an end at some point - it may become a bit too worrisome for some, I fear. Haha.
