Taika's "Ballin' on a Budget" story about having fake Docs.
From today's Vogue Australia event.

Taika is on a Green Bike riding with one hand and a bag in his other hand. He’s smirking at the camera under his helmet and sunglasses.

I do not intend to stop laughing at this, in case you were wondering.

(Yes, I’m sharing a Paparazzi photo, but LOOK AT IT, come on.)

Alexa, play “Vogue” by Madonna.

“he’s just the right guy for the job. he’s a sweetheart.

…don’t tell him that.”

Which must also be followed up by a little glimpse into exactly what it would look like if I ever got the chance to meet him 🥲

Damn, I love when he leans in to that coastie accent.

Sending love on #TaikaTuesday to the fulla. Via, of course, the cast of Next Goal Wins. One of the extreme benefits of having a beautiful Pacific Islander cast is this kinda big love. This performance of both a Siva Tau AND a Haka for the boss is so fuckin rad. Followed by hongi for all. 🥹

Do we have any Storsh fans here? Personally, I’m always up for Taika singing in a bathrobe about death in an American accent, but that’s just me.

A Letterboxd review for Wuthering Heights (2026) from user allain reading: “emily brontë died of tuberculosis 177 years ago yet this adaptation is still the worst thing that has ever happened to her”

these reviews are diabolical 😭

Taika Waititi and Rita Ora at a Vogue fashion event in Australia. Taika is wearing a black tuxedo which ties across the front, robe-style. The shoulder is dusted with diamond accents and he’s wearing a diamond brooch. Rita is wearing a draped-silk couture gown. Short with a long silk train.

The evolution is complete.

Sweet Jesus...

The early reviews on Fing! are living up to the hype. The film is getting a lot of love, with comparisons to Paddington and being called a new family classic. They're especially highlighting Taika as the MVP.

Taika Waititi says his Star Wars movie in development at Lucasfilm will “harness a little more of the fun from the original films.”

“The stakes are very high, and there are serious things going on, but there’s also a lot of fun to be had.”

The cover of Age Pryor's album, entitled "Shanks' Pony". It is a black and white illustration of Age Pryor standing in a field. In the foreground is various plants and trees and foliage, while in the background is a city full of skyscrapers, fading into ruins. Men (soldiers?) are rushing toward it and helicopters are surrounding the skyscrapers. A giant godzilla-sized stag is in the center of the city. Chaos. This was illustrated by Taika.

Some people can do everything.

Is this the man you-

YES. YES, IT IS. What about it?????

(Onstage from 2002 "Deep" - 5 Minute Call Short.)
He was 27 here. 🥰

“Ortega acknowledged that her recent role in Taika Waititi's adaptation of Kazuo Ishiguro's poignant tale Klara and the Sun had fed into her thoughts about the future impact of Al technology. The story revolves around a solar-powered Al robot girl purchased as a companion for a gravely ill teenager. "It's been a while since I shot the film, but it's entirely about that. And I remember some of the conversations we were even having was in relation to 2001, not comparing the movie to 2001 specifically, but that film is really interesting, because almost the most humane character is the robot," she said. "So, yeah, I think about it often, but I try not to let that influence or intimidate me in any way, shape or form, because the only way to come and deal with these hardships is to face them forward and not turn away and not shy away."”

“it’s been a while since i shot the film” oh girl i know

Happy #TaikaTuesday to my favorite smartass. 😂🥰🥰🥰

A photo from Rita Ora’s Instagram showing Taika Waititi at an after-party in London. In black and white, Taika stands with one hand in his pocket gazing off to the left of screen with his lips lightly parted in a way that makes my heart rate sound like the wing beats of a tweaking hummingbird. His jawline is - as always - devastating. He’s wearing a white suit jacket and a heavy mesh button-down which is unbuttoned all the way down to the bottom of his chest, exposing a patch of hair that is missing only the firm pressure of my entire face.

The air speed velocity I would reach when leaping across the room to latch onto that follicle-dusted sternum would break the sound barrier. #TaikaTuesday

dumb people: taika obviously never even cared about ofmd

taika: spent 3 minutes of an a-list actor/producer panel gushing about how much the show and the way it normalizes queerness + makes so many people feel seen means to him
