I never thought, in my wildest dreams, I would ever get to stand in the presence of a genuine Modigliani original. I have ticked an item off my bucket list. #blueskyart
And of course, I would be remiss if I did not mention The Dish - one of my most favourite Australians that still brings me to tears whenever I watch it. Americans may not appreciate it but we Australians are very proud of that film.
One of my favourite anecdotes about Sam Neill is that he designed his nation patch for the sci-fi film Event Horizon, incorporating the Australian and Aboriginal Australian flags into one. It was a baller move and one of the quintessential Sam Neill things to do.
The Road To Wigan Pier by George Orwell is a devastating examination of mid 1930's industrial England... ...& an equally devastating indictment of our own time, 90 odd years later. We were warned. #booksky #readingsky
There is a future for the #StarWars franchise that is glaring everyone in the face but one that Lucasfilm's sheer fucking hubris won't allow anyone to entertain...

Easily one of my most favourite images of Gene Wilder - with Harrison Ford.
That Mel had the balls to back a drama in 'The Elephant Man' when no-one else thought it was a story worth telling speaks volumes for me. That film became a quintessential example of the triumph of the human spirit - one that Mel saw. #happy100thMel
...that abomination of a film 'The Marvels'. It is clear to me now that DaCosta was chewed up and spat out by the Hollywood machine and that she never had a chance with them. Here, DaCosta's powerful yet understated direction is a revelation The Bone Temple is a fine, fine film. #filmsky
the film. It was a remarkably 'human' performance, turning the tables of what we have come to understand about these infected in the midst of a world that has twisted the very idea of humanity on its head. And plaudits have to go to Nia DaCosta's direction. I had written her off after...
Ralph Fiennes was in top form. Jack O'Connell was scarily brilliant & the supporting cast were solid. But it was Chi-Lewis Parry as the infected 'Samson' who blew me away. It was a subtle performance and how he played off Fiennes as an infected man who Fiennes' character studies that carried...
Last night, I sat down with 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple. I wasn't expecting much given my disappointment with 28 Years Later. But, I enjoy the world & revisiting it. My Lord! I was not prepared for just how much I ended up enjoying this film! It was an absolute knockout for me... #filmsky
Name a movie that flopped at the box office but is actually great #FilmSky

So...we've had our Chinese built EV a week. It's an absolute game changer. I am always a little skeptical, but this is the future. I only wish it had flight mode.

Watching "Citadel" just now and I'm constantly amazed at actors like Richard Madden affecting an American accent when his Scottish one is perfectly bloody fine.. #tvsky
