RIP Lalo Schifrin, one of my favourite composers! Mission: Impossible, Cool Hand Luke, Bullitt, Dirty Harry, Magnum Force, Telefon, Sudden Impact - so good! A jazz man, Lalo was a natural for movie scores. He was good at horror too, here's his rejected Exorcist score: www.youtube.com/watch?v=5oAd...

It’s been great visiting Pōneke. @misswhanau.bsky.social was upfront & said we’d face construction woes/infrastructure issues. If there are problems it’s due to central govt cuts. Nicola Willis should be ashamed to show her face in public. But they can’t stop Welly being the greatest city in NZ!

Derek Jarman: Delphinium Days at The Dowse Art Museum (in partnership with City Gallery Wellington Te Whare Toi). Great to see some of his artworks in person. I always enjoyed his feature films, usually starring Tilda Swinton.

I’m a tourist in my former home town. I wish Wellington still had this cinema! Love the quirky and historic Te Waka Huia o Ngā Taonga Tuku Iho | Wellington Museum.
