'The Perfect Neighbor' blew my socks off at Melbourne International Film Festival last year. Incredibly astute editing (Viridiana Lieberman) and directing (Geeta Gandbhir), harrowing in its grief, legacy and honesty. It left me reeling, and I am so happy that it was nominated for an Oscar.

In an effort to improve my discipline (also bc I am sick of spruiking live shows to prove I write) I started the writer's equivalent of a podcast. It's free. Still working on the discipline part (regularity). It's hopefully funny & defs short. This week's about chips.

Zombie kids, I did not like 28 Years Later, it felt like set up to me, silly in parts - as if a producer ordered 2 films instead of 1 (aka The Hobbit Protocol). BUT. Jack O'Connell turning up at the end as a bizarre Jimmy Savile post-apocalyptic gang leader made me go WHEEEERE WAS THIS EARLIER (1/2)

What’s the point of writers’ festivals — or, for that matter, writers — if they can’t discuss issues that matter? Australian arts administrators would rather destroy the whole sector than allow Palestinians to speak about genocide. It’s beyond shameful.

The grief of Port Arthur still hangs heavy over Tas, and I shudder to think how much worse that would be if leaders acted then how they are now. #auspol #taspol

Amid the anger and grief of Port Arthur, it took just 12 days for Australia’s political leaders to come together to pass gun control laws. Why is the unity of that time eluding them now?
Political responses to the Port Arthur and Bondi massacres are wildly different — but unity is still possible

A story I found about Haiti:
In 1999, a group of Haitians were tired of political disorder and dreamed of a better life in the United States. So they built a small, 23-foot boat by hand using pine trees, scrap wood, and used nails. They called the boat "Believe in God."

Australia is not a nation familiar with massacre on its streets, and we must never become one
Australian political leaders must act together to harness the national shock and mourning to lead the country out of this cultural and religious quagmire.

Rob Reiner either made your favorite movie, or made somebody you know’s favorite movie. If you’re a Californian, he’s also part of the reason you or your friends can get married. He has changed more lives for the better than this asshole commenting on him ever did.
