The Man Who Fell To Earth (1976)

Today's #oscarnoms film was one of the hardest to schedule, as I needed to find 3h in the middle of the day for it. The film is KOKUHO, up for a single nomination for Best Makeup.

i bought some coffee beans and some sleepy time tea at the grocery store near my house and cashier said "whoah man you've gotta be careful about mixing uppers and downers"

Omg, there's a dog on the tracks of the light rail. We are stopped as it wanders around.

Today's during-school-hours #oscarnoms screening is SONG SUNG BLUE. My in-laws loved it, so I don't have high expectations

Hahahaha, I was this person in the screening I saw too. It was a fortifying experience that I hope happens for a single person in every session

Kids are off to school! I still have 5 weeks of vacation, and my #oscarnoms project gathers steam as a result. This morning I'm with the retirees drinking champagne at 10am for a session of BLUE MOON.

This is who runs this account.

I just rewatched ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER and it's so damn good and so much better a couple of months after I watched it the first time, after everything that's happened in America in the interim.

The family just wanted more and more

I made this for the third time tonight. It's very good, you should try it www.recipetineats.com/ginger-chick...

Also "French for Native Speakers" which was the undergrad course you had to do if you'd studied French in high school. I dropped it after 2 weeks.

I picked the most abstract and philosophical Computer Science subjects I could find Computational Geometry Coding Theory Languages and Logic Intractability in Theory and Practice Astronomy

Remember, the difference between gender ale and gender lager is in the fermentation style: gender ale is a top, whereas gender lager is a bottom

Me getting out of AVATAR 3 #oscarnoms

My #oscarnoms project continues at a deadly pace, and I'm out and about to catch two of the longer films this year, starting with MARTY SUPREME

This is needed more often than "we need a SWAT team", and surely the results are more beneficial to society

Petition for a tactical response unit whose job it is to fix Sydney buses' aircon when they break

I think about this post a lot.

Today's #oscarnoms adventure involves the kids at an early screening of ZOOTOPIA 2.

This was fucken delicious

Made an onion "tarte tartin" today, which was fiddly but delicious

I try to be mostly good vibes about things that are good, so here is our lovely puppy

If you're living somewhere outside the USA, one thing you can do is pressure your leaders to boycott World Cup and Olympic events here.

This is an excellent idea, and something which I feel particularly strongly about. It felt good to send this email to the Australian Football Federation and my local MP (who happens to be our PM). You can contact the FFA at [email protected], and the PM at www.pm.gov.au/contact

My dad disappointed that his pick, Folk Bitch Trio, didn't make it onto the Hottest 100 this year

#1 and #1

Never has a bad performance. No one is ever disappointed when Delroy Lindo pops up on screen. Long overdue. Baller time

Ok, just going through the #oscarnoms now (it's 5am!). I'll maybe make some comments as I come across things.

#sydfest is done for another year for us but overnight the #oscarnoms arrive, and tomorrow afternoon I start six weeks' leave. So I'm leaving one high, but just jumping on another equal high.

LACRIMA was absolutely stunning. Incredibly layered, but seamlessly woven together. It knew exactly what to do with its form. I barely noticed it's running time, I was so rapt. An exquisite finale for #sydfest.

It is our final show of #sydfest tonight, and we're going all in with the 3-hour, no-interval LACRIMA.

Bluesky is fun tonight

MAMA DOES DERBY was great fun, even if it took a while to get to the fireworks factory. The sleep paralysis demon (Nathan) was the MVP. #sydfest

It's MAMA DOES DERBY time, i.e. the #sydfest show we saw in the program and immediately went "yessss!"

If you've not had the pleasure yet today, please let me introduce you to the bus thread

We've had an excellent run of #sydfest shows this weekend, and we're sure it will continue with ROTHAR.

We had two #sydfest shows today, and we were uncharacteristically running latish for both of them, so I didn't announce either beforehand! First we had THE BOGONG'S SONG, which was an absolutely beautiful show blending dance, puppetry and songs into a story of connecting with land.

what a legend lmao

This session is packed. Don't let anyone say people don't love the cinema.

Next film tonight is RENTAL FAMILY. #Bimonscificon

Movie night! Tonight I have two films on the slate starting with SENTIMENTAL VALUE. #bimonscificon

New season of Blackadder is gonna be lit bsky.app/profile/pete...

I don't know about this, Woody. Maybe the guitar could say 'This machine gives fascists better training'?

A very cleverly crafted show that took us on a journey through identity and history to land in a place where we can see our own power. #sydfest #nowhere
