How does it feel seeing the Disney and Pixar branding on your new single? Does it feel like being branded as a cash cow by a faceless conglomerate? AMPP has a face. It's the kea, which is our mascot. Here's a Lester Hall kea.

No, no adaptations of Weeded Out or Just Like Yesterday. Please write your own plays, thank you. I'm not John Lennon. I could write my own play. In fact, I did Just Like Yesterday as an audio play.

I started writing movie reviews in 2012, particularly on the AVClub comment boards. There was a weekly column where they asked readers what they were watching. Taylor was busy on the AVClub, but I mostly just wrote my little capsule reviews. Stopped writing them after Riddell Productions started making feature-length movies. She likes to remind people that she's known me for longer than most, but also that I'm unpredictable and difficult to trust, as I keep popping in and out of her life. I've maintained this website for about four years, so I think she's letting her guard down.

She saw me do a gig in Wellington while she was recording Lover in Auckland. I think that's where the 'magnetic force of a man' line comes from.
