The other day I watched a movie I've been wanting to watch for awhile, Punk's Dead. Which is the sequel to SLC Punk.

SLC Punk - Let us begin by talking about the original. I saw this movie in 1999 or 2000 and it literally changed my life. The movie is about punks in Salt Lake City, and more generally, it is about the punk rock movement in ( Read more... )

July 18th, 22:54 - I was writing that last entry starting while waiting at the gate and finishing literally as we began to taxi down the runway. So it was a bit rushed at the end and didn't include some pictures I've since added ( Read more... )

   Let us pick up directly from where we left off, at the airport gate to leave Melbourne, and stressed about whether or not I'd be able to get in to Guinea due to accidentally failing to have my yellow fever certificate with me ( Read more... )

   So today I went into Melbourne town to go to the German consulate and apply for a German passport, which seems to have been successful, then I met up with my Ecuadorian friend Michelle in an eastern suburb (Michem?); and then I found that the theatre that was showing the new All Quiet on the Western Front was at that point on my way home! So I ( Read more... )

August 13th - about 61 hours after i left my hotel in Conakry i was finally on my couch back home in Australia. Granted about 19 of those hours were in relative comfort in Accra, but the last 36 I essentially didn't sleep. Came home and napped for two hours but been trying to stay up till bed time to get back on a normal schedule ( Read more... )

   Picking up right where I left off, which was immediately prior to boarding my flight to Dubai: so of course I was in the last boarding group, Group F. I don't know how the boarding groups get chosen but I am somehow always always in the last one. Which meant there was no room for my backpack in the overhead bins so my feet had to cohabitate the ( Read more... )

   Time for some more (short) movie reviews

No Time to Die   I recently noticed the most recent Bond movie was available to rent via Youtube, which is apparently a thing these days. I had wanted to see it, so on a recent evening I watched it. What I'm about to say is jsut slightly a spoiler so skip the next sentence if you're really concerned .. ( Read more... )

Greyhound   I had really wanted to see Greyhound when it came out in theatres but then.. it didn't, due to being released at the height of the pandemic. I made a concerted effort to try to watch this movie a few weeks ago but I could not find any legal way for me to watch it (it appeared to be available via some television channel but I don't have ( Read more... )

   Moar movie reviews! Rather inadvertently I've collected an international selection here, An Australian, Georgian, Macedonian and Namibian movie, with further references to a Norwegian and Bosnian movie. (:

Danger Close (2019): This is another one I got put onto by something I saw on the youtube. This is an Australian film about an Australian ( Read more... )

   So Pandora finally figured out how to block my VPN a bit ago, and spotify quickly showed itself to be so awful at predicting music I might like that about 90% of its choices were awful, and then Ii discovered that youtube does a pretty good auto-mix predicting music I might like. Well that was good for awhile and I actually discovered a fair ( Read more... )
