ok I KNOW stoush is pronounced as 'stowsh', like ouch, but I ALWAYS read it as 'stoosh', with a short 'oo' sound (like bush – maybe more like 'stüsh'?). I blame growing up in Melb's northern suburbs and having grandparents with thick Estonian accents!

Vale David Stratton, the wonderful film critic. I have seen a few mentions of Stratton’s surveillance by the Australian Security Intelligence Organisation, which came to light about a decade ago. His ASIO file has been digitised and can be viewed here: recordsearch.naa.gov.au/SearchNRetri...

I also got to see David yell “Shit for brains!” at a reckless driver once. That was something pretty special.

Bloody sad news today. David Stratton is gone. I'll best remember him as one of my introductions to film and film criticism that went beyond the mainstream blockbusters and offered insight that was both intellectual and entertaining. We've lost a real legend. Vale.

A new production house is touting what they deem to be Australia's first AI-generated/enhanced horror feature. But SKARN raises tricky questions regarding the law, creative control and ethics. Read the story as reported by Silvi Vann-Wall: vist.ly/437e5 #genAI #film #skarn

People who freelance in Aus: I need help with taxes! I do a couple freelance things in the financial year but always get confused at tax time - there’s 2 sections: ‘personal’ & ‘business’ and I have no idea what to click. Help?

My four-and-a-half star review of The Naked Gun, which is in Australian cinemas from 21 August:

Wrote about the new Productivity Commission interim report – which suggests using copyrighted creative works to train AI models. The screen industry has responded, calling this proposed reform a retroactive 'theft' (rightfully IMHO). www.screenhub.com.au/news/news/cr...

The Naked Gun was originally a TV show (Police Squad) but quickly surpassed its origins in popularity. Can you name any other spin-off movies that did that? (eg Mission Impossible, Charlie's Angels, Addams Family?)

Used to be, if you saw a vat of toxic waste sitting around in a film, someone would go falling into it. We used to be a Society.

you don't understand. as someone who isn't inherently good at art, stealing paintings from the museum is the *only* way i'm able to express myself creatively. i wouldn't be able to paint beautiful portraits. but by breaking into a museum and stealing the paintings, now i am

FRIENDSHIP is an anti-buddy comedy for the ages. New from me: www.screenhub.com.au/news/reviews...

🚨 Australia quietly rolls out mandatory age checks for search engines by end of 2025. Major platforms like Google and Microsoft will need to verify ages for logged-in users. Another layer of digital surveillance dressed up as child protection?

Today, I took my dog to the emergency vet – terrified she had eaten something poisonous or given herself bloat. $150 later, it turns out she just really needed to shit. And shit she did. On the floor of the vet’s office 💀

James Gunn's Superman is an ambitious swing at a more politically-engaged superhero, and what it lacks in nuance it makes up for in charm. Read my 3.5 ⭐️ review: www.screenhub.com.au/news/reviews... #superman #supermanmovie #jamesgunn #DC #warnerbros

I'm the guy in charge of making the TV dramatization of the mushroom lady case. it's going to star one recognisable name, two stand up comedians looking to prove that they can do serious roles and be unavailable to view anywhere less than three years after it airs
