This is the week when the last few #oscarnoms features are getting a release on Australian streaming, so I'm kicking off the home stretch with SOUNDTRACK TO A COUP D'ETAT.

It isn't really fair that The Onion is just spying on me and reporting it as satire

If forgotten I wrote this like 8 years ago, until a friend posted it in response to a slate article about raw chicken medium.com/slackjaw/wha...

Thinking about this excellent Australian flag again. I genuinely love that it's so obviously the flag for Australia, even if you've never seen it before

It's the (now) 9yo's birthday today! But even more importantly, it's...

I don't think film critics should have to review the Marvel movies anymore. Like, I dunno. Should an art critic have to review those big pictures of tomatoes they hang on the wall at Subway? I think they belong in a different category.

Melting from the sweetness of this

Heading into the 3.5h monstrosity which is THE BRUTALIST #oscarnoms

I found the secret screening of PORCELAIN WAR (thanks Oscars Death Race subreddit), so I'm now on the path to at least seeing every nominated feature. #oscarnoms

Off to a preview screening of SEED OF THE SACRED FIG this afternoon. I wish I hadn't seen a reaction spoiler from my Letterboxd friend who I always tend to agree with, haha #oscarnoms

Another triple #oscarnoms day for me today, but it's my last planned day off work in service of the project. First up today is SEPTEMBER 5

It was bad: boxd.it/8HtrMP

I was raised on these streets

#oscarnoms viewing continues apace. Today I'm at the charmingly tiny Golden Age Cinema in Surry Hills for NO OTHER LAND

I am ending my #oscarnoms evening with EMILIA PÉREZ, and it can't be bad right? Because it has the most nominations!

CONCLAVE was so great. It absolutely knew how to play the stakes for pure cinema. What a screenplay! #oscarnoms

Well that last film sucked. I'm sure Ralph Fiennes and CONCLAVE can save the evening though. #oscarnoms

I've almost caught up on writing up the #oscarnoms films I saw earlier this week, so that must mean it's time to go see three more. Unfortunately, the first of these is BETTER MAN, a film I have very little interest in seeing even though I know who Robbie Williams is.

Got kicked out of the liberry again cuz a couple people complained about my therapy goose Insane Willie.

Well, SUGARCANE was fucking intense. #oscarnoms

Really rolling into #oscarnoms now. I watched KINGDOM OF THE PLANET OF THE APES last night, now I'm catching a morning screening of ANORA, followed by a lunchtime screening of NOSFERATU.

Dobby had one of the most singular albums of 2024 with WARRANGU; RIVER STORY. With the live performance, he turned it into something profound and beautiful. #sydfest

Final #sydfest show! @laituegonflable.bsky.social and I are kicking on from the Hottest 100 countdown and seeing Dobby for WARRANGU; RIVER STORY

Ah shit, I'm still awake and the actual #oscarnoms are happening. It's too late in Sydney for me to get angry... I need to go to sleep

There's an honestly terrible burger place in Newtown called Big Daddy's which I love because it serves cheesy fatty burgers with curly fries, and some guy just came in and said "Hey I need a feed but can I pay you tomorrow?" And they were like yeah bro, sit down and we'll get it for you

I have excellent taste and I apparently know which films are going to be good, whether or not they get #oscarnoms

On the eve of the #oscarnoms coming out, it's my regular bi-weekly movie night. I'm seeing three films I want to see anyway, just in case they're not nominated: SING SING A REAL PAIN THE ROOM NEXT DOOR

I have loved the first two films in this triad, and I cannot imagine that the Julianne Moore-starring, Almodovar-directed final film is going to break the trend
