$0.004 per minute math cannot make up for the fact that you don't own anything and you don't experience anything

Rita considered the dead. Shut her eyes. Rolled their names around her brain. Stacked each person in order like folded laundry, warm and crisp from the sun. She wondered how her name would sound amongst them.

This time next week I will be in Wellington for the sole and explicit purpose of going to Unity Books and picking up a copy of Hoods Landing by Laura Vincent. www.unitybooks.co.nz/products/hoo...

Noirvember at the movies: on the pleasures of personal curation - Overland literary journal Watching noir all month, in its many transcontinental variants from the past eighty-odd years, really is a fantastic thing to do. I’m finding connections between films that aren’t obvious, or that mig...

A β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜… review of Privilege (1967) Nobody ever refers to Peter Watkins films as mockumentaries because they are simply not funny. The man doesn't seem to have much of a sense of humour but still manages to craft some of the greatest sa...

Love Peter Watkins. I wrote this last time I watched Privilege, one of my literal favourite movies: boxd.it/4JLHSr

44 horror films all told. Absolutely no idea how I fit them all in when it has been one of the busiest and most full-on months of my life. Still, great fun. Next up: noir!

If you liked The Lodger, you gotta check out Hangover Square, which is my favourite of the two. Both great though!

Love it. Squirm is by the same director so that could be a goer, but I think the one I would recommend to everyone is Suddenly in the Dark.
