New BERGERAC series 2: glad to see Jim has started wearing a belt. The constant disturbing undertone throughout series 1 was watching a grown man wandering around in dress pants with a tucked in shirt but no belt.

Fun fact: Dolly Parton spent decades quietly funding band uniforms and instruments at Black high schools across the South - never once putting her name on it. No headlines, no fanfare — just help, given because it was needed.
Wonderful Heart ♥️ RIP Dolly ❤️

Dad was a country fan so my parents took us to see Dolly & Kenny live at Mt Smart Stadium in 1987, just after we moved to Auckland, when I was 13. My 2nd ever proper gig. Loved that show, and was glad to discover Dolly was, and remained, a wonderful human who lived an impactful life #RIP

Inadvertently celebrated two sides of my heritage with my causal birthday dinner. Had three Indian curries of varying heat and also got a bag of fry bread. Then, in the horiest move ever, I made pockets out of the fry bread and stuffed them with curry and rice! 😂😋 #sotasty #hbdtome

Final film of #NZIFF 2026 (barring any unexpected additional screening attendance) is Kantemir Balagov's BUTTERFLY JAM. Hopeful for a darkly, colorful psychodrama... 🤞🏾

Shit man, Glen Hansard killed in a motorcycle accident. He was only 4yrs older than me. Many will know him from The Frames or The Commitments but I became aware of him and his music via John Carney's entrancing ONCE @nziff.bsky.social 2007. Great, raw singer-songwriter talent. #RIP 😢

Really good trolling would be to go see Picnic at Hanging Rock with some friends and then 35 minutes in get up and leave the theater and disappear and never be seen again by anyone in their entire life

I just finished an enjoyably slow Sat morning read of Sam Neill's autobiography a few months back, followed by a subsequent dive back into his filmography to catch up on films I hadn't seen at the time or for a long while... So he's been in my mind a lot of late, and now for a while longer 😢
Looking forward to reading this year's Christmas Eve book 🤓 #SamNeill

The loss of Sam Neill feels like a national moment, a bit like Billy T. He gave us many iconic roles, some great Central Pinot Noir, and spoonfuls of lockdown 'decompression medicine'.
