Sydney police are scum.

You'd think that after all the footage of ICE goons terrorising US citizens, that cops all over the world would be like "Yikes! that's really bad. Let's not do that!"

Nope. It's emboldened them.

Fucking fascists.

EFF is against age verification mandates, including Discord's new policy requiring face scans or IDs for full access to the platform. Here are some things to consider if you're planning to continue using Discord next month. www.eff.org/deeplinks/2...
So, You’ve Hit an Age Gate. What Now?
EFF is against age gating and age verification mandates, and we hope we’ll win in getting existing ones overturned and new ones prevented. But mandates are already in effect, and every day many

Locking down your phone, being mindful of what you're wearing, and coming up with plans to communicate with others are all key steps to take before attending a protest. ssd.eff.org/module/atte...

Internet is down, so it's a pick from the physical collection.

Now watching:

Le Cercle Rouge (1970)

I love Melville. I wish we had a current filmmaker that was either heavily influenced by or unashamedly ripped off his style.

The closest I can think of is Johnnie To. I miss his crime films!

I'm continuing my rewatch of all Theo Angelopoulos' films, so tonight's pick is:

Ulysses’ Gaze (1995)

It's definitely one of my favourite Angelopoulos films, possibly one of my favourite films period.

Now watching:

Rabbit Trap (2025)

I've been wanting to see this for a while, and finally getting around to it. Really looking forward to it!

I haven't had the time or energy to watch anything lately, so I'm sitting myself down and forcing myself to watch something now:

Excellent episode of Scriptnotes with Eva Victor, Actor-writer-director of 'Sorry, Baby' on preparing to direct your first feature.

Definitely worth a listen!

It's really sad that over the past two years, a third of video game industry workers have been laid off, and this exists:

John Turturro as an aging pickpocket? One of those things that I never realised I needed in my life.

If you're interested in what camera/lenses are being used in indie films these days (like I am), this article on the films at this year's Sundance is a great read.

Arri Alexas are the most common, followed by Sony Venice cams. Is anyone shooting on RED anymore?

I completely forgot that Hlynur Pálmason had a new film coming out and it looks great!

Godland was one of the more memorable cinema going experiences I had in the past few years and A white, white day is also fantastic.

I'm really looking forward to this!
