yeah I saw something about Buffy as well and when his name comes up it is always in the context of him being overbearing or bullying - as for Gaiman there are no fucking words, he enticed and engaged a generation and then fucked it all...

not really, he was such an arsehole.

Sorry, is there a problem?

ah now this I did not know - and as someone also pointed out we all loved the show and the movie, coming back two decades later might be a bit clunky...still..

we are actually house sitting for my brother who lives on the south coast, next month for a couple of weeks...love the sea and being near the water - and I love Melbourne...but the weather there gets super crazy....bit much for me I suspect :)

The SAG's are now called the Actors, and I didn't know it was on? jesus what existential crisis did I just wander into? - have to watch from the start - the cone of silence is lowering now...

love the arboretum and the cafe is pretty good too...

yeah one of those be careful what you wish for scenarios...

that's a lot to unpack - or not...

Firefly teasers keep popping up on tiktok and insta, was a brilliant and sadly short lived sci-fi series made in the early 2000's by Josh Whedon after which they made a movie and that was that - but I keep seeing Fillion and other cast members torturing their fans with innuendo.

A cool and wet second day of Autumn in Canberra - it is our best season ask anyone … a good day to appreciate the small things.

food from the Gods...

ohmigod.

OK so a lovely friend on here recommended - The Offer - about the machinations around the making of The Godfather (no bias my favourite film) which is screening on Prime - it seems a bit niche for fans, but really it is a brilliant essay about drama and production and egos...loving it :)

worth remembering how the US established itself as the global cop after the second world war, the history is long and brutal, this documentary from 1980...

Dumas' work gets a lot of adaptations and not a lot of them are especially good despite the brilliant source material.

my thoughts too...

hey has anyone seen the tv series of the Count of Monte Cristo on SBS? read the book, seen so many film versions, some awful, but this one looks really good no?

I want Australian citizens home from Syria. Can you honestly say that those women were not under coercive control when they left? Surely some? Despite leaving, they must be able to bring their children home. They said they are happy to do whatever it takes. Let them come home.

OK I've just seen the latest Volvo ad with the woman crossing the street...credit where it is due this is genius...

just watching an ep of Bourdain, and as is often the case he's in France with his dear friend Eric Ripert, who runs a three michelen star restaurant in New York - he's world renowned for his fish dishes - here they are in Marseille and he just said he's never caught a fish in his life...🤣

and for a moment take a good look at the people in the photo, they're alll thinking bell end.

would also highly recommend Feines' Coriolanus.

Neither of mine needed care because cancer but my aunt was in a place here and it was so depressing visiting her - Virginia’s mum is in Portofino in Brisbane and it is quite excellent - but it all seems to be a hit and miss affair at best..

I love it :)

Australia’s broken aged care home support system is ensuring that loved ones live and die without dignity Alan Nicolle was already approved for urgent aged care supports, but delays and confusion under a ‘Kafkaesque’ system made his final days exhausting and painful

The negligence is staggering…

Ah so it’s Sunday and looks like conflagration in the Middle East …

Going to assume this event gets its name and inspiration from the current US President…
