  • Muse: Reel Life: Pliéing Turkey,

    I'll be damned if I've heard anything about a release date, even straight to DVD

    Coulda sworn it was going to be released here, but I must've been reading too much overseas media again. Lousy internet's got a lot to answer for.

  • Muse: TV Review: Good Gods Almighty!,

    'Monkey' was essential viewing for my entire generation in the UK, back when I were a wee lad.

    However, there are cases of incest between adult siblings where there is no coercion or imbalance of power – that is, where there is informed consent.

    Yes but. How many of these couples are there, really? 2-3 every decade?

    And how likely is it that they are going to seek to get married?

  • Muse: Reel Life: Pliéing Turkey,

    My wife saw 'Black Swan', and loved it (she is also a fan of 'The Red Shoes'). She also though the CGI was well used.

    I'm currently polishing up a review [of True Grit]

    I'll look forward to that. More my cup of rotgut.

    Are you going to be reviewing 'Never let me go' at some point?

    If someone buys it, Megan and I will record it as an audiobook. She'll use her Radio Voice, and I'll use my "Turns Thomas the Tank Engine into Porn" voice.

    This would still be infringing activity, citizen. You are guilty of thoughtcrime. Remain where you are until our enforcers arrive

    Strong men delight in that.

    Physically strong perhaps, but not mentally strong...

    This was a time when the New Zealand Herald refused to use the word "lesbian" and essentially blanked Hero itself, even though it was drawing 3000 people to the waterfront.

    Srsly? Wow....

    Did they make coded references to 'women in sensible shoes'?

  • Up Front: Say When,

    As an aside I love shopping for clothes with my wife and will happily stand for hours watching her try on things, offering opinions and carrying bags.

    Ok, now you're just trolling.

  • Muse: TV Review: Good Gods Almighty!, in reply to Lucy Stewart,

    Oh, come on, though. "It's too hard not to be racist so we'll just tell stories about white people"? Like there's no-one who could dare Maori or Pasifika mythology, let alone stuff from further afield? Not good enough.

    Not saying it shouldn't be done (and in fact I'd like to see it), just that I can see why film/TV makers may decide to give it miss. I rather enjoyed 'Mataku' when I saw that a few years ago.

    Specifically, I was replying to this post from Tui Head.

    There was a terrible episode of US genre show Supernatural with a similar American-Gods-knock-off theme recently, which included frankly gross and extraordinarily insensitive portrayals of a bunch of gods - off the top of my head, Kali, Loki, Odin, Baron Samedi, Zao Shen, and Ganesh
