Clearly I was a prude when I was listening to this because I found the innuendo and triteness on this album cringy and embarrassing. I know very little about Gomez’s life but her image – my impression of her – is quite innocent. In this regard, I could almost forgive the album of its under […]
“Australia’s Other Great Reef” Watching presentations on ecological systems now always makes me feel a bit sad due to how they are all being destroyed. Content aside, this “full dome” planetary movie seemed a bit dated and low resolution. I also don’t think it took advantage of the immersive medium. https://adelaidefringe.com.au/fringetix/ningaloo-australia-s-other-great-reef-full-dome-experience-af2025
A pretty expensive ($60) Fringe show of trans (?) Thai women lip syncing and dancing to various songs in some pretty amazing outfits. It was fun and spectacular but not something I would pick myself, especially at this price point because I’m such a tight ass. At the very start of the show, a voice […]
The trailers made this anime look a lot more interesting and charming than I actually found it. Rob liked this movie simply because the cat was oafish, drinking beer and pissing like a drunk man against neighbourhood trees
In contrast to Sonic, this short movie felt surprisingly long. Predictable with the visuals unfortunately unable to overcome the very silent and boring story
Highly challenging and extremely long movie that is typical of Lanthimos’ work. While the surreal story is intriguing, it ultimately felt too long and I was frustrated by my inability to decipher the symmetry in the movie
A long sustained joke that I didn’t get Published: 2009 Completed: 03/05/2024 Pages: 384 “The One Hundred Year Old Man Who Climbed Out The Window And Disappeared” by Jonas Jonasson, is a comedic novel that weaves together major historical events of the 20th century, through the adventures of the titular and central character, Allan Karlsson.

A planetary style half an hour film about coral reefs utilising the music of Max Richter and the Carol soundtrack. In theory right up my alley but I found the visuals to be too close to appreciate (like sitting in the front row of the cinema) and the music choice lazy https://adelaidefringe.com.au/fringetix/coral-rekindling-venus-full-dome-experience-af2024
A rambling movie that didn’t really seem to have a clear direction, function or message
Only the first two thirds were enjoyable. The last third was awful and wrecked the entire novel Published: 2015 Completed: 21/05/2023 Pages: 306 This sci-fi novel by Margaret Atwood is a bleak and misanthropic account of a desperately destitute couple who give up their freedoms in exchange for the anodyne comfort of the gated community […]
Fluff. Entertaining enough but the characters were too annoying for me to even consider ever wanting to watch this again
Interesting concept, with what appears to be an intentionally bad fx aesthetic. Seems like it was produced for incels
A simple and enjoyable budget horror / comedy that doesn’t overstay its welcome
Probably the closest I’ve come to enjoying a Bjork album since Vespertine. Lyrically interesting, but again the arrangement is too intentionally oblique
Being a homage does not forgive the entirely predictable and unoriginal plot
I feel this is an inferior version of The Holy Mountain. Same religious motifs, but without the brilliant surreal elements to keep me interested
Average children’s movie, but Jack Whitehall was not too bad (despite his awful American accent)
Good music but boring stage show. This show is notable for being the first that I witnessed crowd dancing after COVID
I wasn’t as upset as a previous reviewer here (“grazing board of $#!T”) but I did leave feeling that they spent more time thinking about the look and and feel of their pub than they did about the taste of their food. Our grazing board did that very pub thing of conflating quantity with quality. […]
The experience of dining here could be improved if service staff wore hooded cloaks and decorated the place as if it were some arcane and occult pagan temple. This would make the unfriendly and uncommunicative bar man seem mysterious. It probably wouldn’t excuse the weird 90s styled food, but at least then a night here […]
