I know that Trey and Matt hate that film, but I loved it as a kid. I've seen it loads of times. To me, when I found out that...

Well, every book changes your life, but this is about that 16-20 phase where everything that goes on seems extra-important. So, here's...

Well, if you hadn't noticed, I've spent the last four years fighting my alma mater, NZSM (New Zealand School of Music) and complaining...

Rebates aren't really what I envision for the future of film funding. I think that we need something more like CNZ that is slightly...

This has some backstory. In 2020, while I was in the middle of my Make It Legal protests, there was an article in Stuff where the drag...

(note: the formatting looked different in the preview!) Well, this is for those that are finding my Facebook page annoying. This...

I am so sick of hearing or reading this. It's easy to say that when your social status is secure, you have a stable income, and you're...

That's the key word that needs to enter this debate. It's not about passing trans people, so that's what we're really discussing. Thanks...

Yes, I read Ethan Iverson's article. I think he's one of those anti-honky jazz musicians that is way too in love with the idea of jazz as...

I think that is a deliberately obtuse way of describing my philosophy. My belief is that violence is inherent to society, and that's...

I'm listening to one of those McGlinn recordings currently. It's got me thinking about how sniffy the opera world were about this type of...

So, if you're wondering how we managed to make Portrait of a Knight feel choregraphed without using a choreographer (we had a fight...
