YouTube video by Newcastle Writers Festival Griffin Dunne speaks with Nick Milligan ahead of his Newcastle event.

I spoke with Hollywood legend and writer Griffin Dunne (nephew of John Gregory Dunne and Joan Didion) ahead of his visit to Newcastle this month.

Here’s a taste.

Grab your tickets, Novocastrians!

Now you’re just repeating yourself. Which doesn’t pass muster as imagination.

You may need every fibre of your imagination to prosecute the argument that the conceptual presence of nuance paradoxically eliminates the conceptual existence of hypocrisy.

Best of luck.

“Why do things always have to be presented as binary?” is an unimaginative, defensive and non-constructive response to any investigation of hypocrisy.

Person A: “Can you be against slavery and still own a slave?”

Person B: “Why do things always have to be presented as binary?”

what a humiliating way for don jr. to find out his dad sends birthday cards.

Shame no one ever told Bob Katter about the “Streisand effect”.

If you love animals or live with a furry family member, I recommend joining the AJP.
It’s fun + rewarding to be a member of a political party that cares about welfare, climate, housing & human rights.
Just $44 p/y, or $5 to join the Young AJP (29 & under). No obligations. Just supports their work.

The “easy cure” is to end this industry of exploitation once and for all. Then there won’t be two broken legs and the necessary vet bills to rehabilitate an injured innocent animal.

She was forced to race.
When a human enters any sport, they’re fully cognisant of the risk of injury and the consequences.
When a dog is lead to a box, put in a box, and then forced to run, they’re not aware that if they break their leg they will die.
They trust their human to protect them.

LIFE IN CONFINEMENT

Hens spend their 18 months of life crammed into tiny battery cages to produce eggs for human consumption. No sunlight. No room to move.

We are in parliament pushing the NSW govt to commit to a phase-out date.

But we need your help.

White’s seahorse babies find new home at Port Stephens More than 1,200 captive bred White’s seahorse babies have been released into their new home at Port Stephens.

SEA HORSES RELEASED

Good news story! Over 1200 White's seahorses liberated in Port Stephens - believed to be the largest release in the world.

They'll live in “hotels” that provide safety for a species decimated by major flooding events on the East Coast.

Virtual fencing to be legalised in NSW despite animal welfare concerns Farmers are celebrating the state government's announcement, but others have raised concerns about using electric shocks to control livestock.

‪"VIRTUAL FENCING" = SHOCK COLLARS ⚡

Don't let the jargon fool you. The NSW Govt plans to reverse bans on shock collars to allow their use on farmed animals.

Yes. Seriously.

Emma Hurst MP is fighting the reintroduction of this cruel device.

I found it very entertaining too. 😀🦖

Unearthed footage that Fox News refused to air during the election last year shows Trump nervously refusing to commit to releasing the Epstein files.

“I don’t know about Epstein so much as I do the others.”

Had a lovely time at the Australian premiere of #Superman last night. Even met #Krypto the Super Dog. Good boy.

Here’s my full review of #Superman2025:

I’m so stoked to report that #JurassicParkRebirth is a winner. A big-screen popcorn monster movie back-to-basics reset that completely works. It’s a big, dumb, fun jungle survival adventure with laughs and thrills. And dinosaurs! And mutant dinosaurs!

Pure. Simple.
Classic. Enjoy. 🛥️🦖🦕

Australian premiere of #JurassicWorldRebirth.
Out Thursday.

It’s kinda insane to think that it’s 2025 and we still have battery hens in Australia. Unfathomable cruelty.

Please sign the below petition. 🙏🏻

No, it says you’re an idiot who likes to waste people’s time with semantics.

Be gone with you!

You don’t have a point.

Tens of thousands of film lovers are picking their favourite movies of the century so far via a major poll conducted through the New York Times, now that we’re at the quarter mark. It’s a bit of fun.

Don’t be a tool.

Excellent. Now, can you tell me - who is our current prime minister?

Tough choices were made.

Thank you to Universal for the chance to see a preview of M3GAN 2.0 - a raucous sequel to the hit 2022 cyborg slasher.
It drops tomorrow. I’ll share some more thoughts once the embargo lifts.

It's a whole lot of nasty fun! Hope you enjoy it.

Thank you for sharing!

YouTube video by Nick Milligan Sydney Film Festival 2025: Dangerous Animals review, ABC radio #horror #filmreview #horrorstories

Had a wonderful four days at @sydfilmfest.bsky.social this year. Saw 13 films.

Here is my chat on ABC Radio about wicked Ozploitation flick DANGEROUS ANIMALS. With its nasty sense of humour and bravura moments, this bloody flick is a winner. In cinemas now.
