Recently we’ve been watching a new show that airs on the ABC called The Gruen Transfer. Given my interest in marketing, it’s a fascinating look at how advertising works. The show is hosted by comedian Wil Anderson, surrounded by a panel of representatives from large advertising / marketing firms who then discuss various [...]
When I haven’t been working lately, I’ve resorted to watching TV since it doesn’t take-up quite as much time as watching a full movie and as lame as it sounds, if I watch a few episodes of something in one sitting I come away with a certain sense of accomplishment.
So what have I been [...]
Last weekend only seems like a couple of days ago and yet it’s been a whole week… time has really been getting away from me lately.
Last weekend Kristy went over to Tangalooma with her Mum, her niece and Caleb. Her Mum, niece and Caleb stayed for the week whilst Kristy had to come back [...]
A few weeks ago we purchased the first 3 seasons of Scrubs. We’ve seen a lot of the episodes before, but we’ve been going back and watching them all again - very funny stuff. We’ve now polished-off season 1 and 2 and we’ll probably get through season 3 in the next couple [...]
On Friday night Kristy and I went to the Sit Down Comedy Club at the Paddo Tavern. There were a bunch of local comedians who were all pretty funny (well, all but one of the chicks who was atrocious… I think I’m funnier than she was).
On Saturday night Kristy had a Trivia Night organised [...]
I haven’t done a post on movies in a while so there’s a fair bit to cover…
The Machinist - Christian Bale plays an industrial worker who hasn’t slept in a year and starts going nuts. Fairly dark, but interesting.
The Good German - This had a lot of potential… good actors and artistically shot in [...]
This weekend we had a Pirates of the Caribbean movie marathon - it was great… we watched the first two (which we own on DVD) and then went to the cinema and saw the third - Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End.
Well, I have to say that it’s a great end to the trilogy [...]
Recently I watched Babel and have also been catching-up on a fair amount of TV.
Babel was really good - I like stories that consist of seemingly unrelated events that progressively merge into one. It gives a far greater meaning to the overall story as you get to see it from all angles - someone [...]
Lastnight Kristy and I scored tickets to the premier of Pirates of the Caribbean - At World’s End which we both have been really looking forward to seeing but unfortunately due to the premier coinciding with the first match of the State of Origin (not to be confused with the State of Oregon) we didn’t [...]
There’s been so much other stuff happening lately that we haven’t had much time to see too many movies, but we have recently watched Spiderman 3 and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (TMNT)…
Both movies were really good. Spiderman had some very funny parts which surprised me, along with some excellent CGI for Sandman and Venom [...]
