A day late for Australia, but it's still yesterday in some parts....Here's a beautiful AIDS Memorial Quilt story.

One more thing for World AIDS day. A short video about the quilt panel I made for Alvin Ailey that became part of a retrospective of his life at the Whitney museum. We lost so many artists ❤️‍🩹. It was an honor to be part of, and this tells the story.

I spoke about this on the #ChampagneComedy Podcast. @tonymartin.bsky.social has more screen time than Eddie McGuire's BMW in #TheCastle: 310 frames versus 189. @tlschampagne.bsky.social

Aww damn the comercials station's refusal to respect creative artists by playing movie credits. I remember the audience cheering and clapping at the end of #TheCastle when I saw it in the cinema.

I find it very hard to believe that the photocopier never breaks down #TheCastle

And here is Tony Martin's glorious cameo, yacking with Eric Bana about Eric's movie Chopper, I think.

Love the shot of The High Court of Australia in all it's modern glory and then the interiors are all shot in old dark wood style court rooms #TheCastle

I love how Working Dog worked with experienced actors like Bud Tingwell. He's really wonderful in #TheCastle.

Our landlord is going to sell our home of 18 years and we have to find somewhere new to live. I'm relating to #TheCastle a little tonight.

Denis is a lame lawyer, but Bryan Dawe as the sleazy lawyer is a wonderful villain.

I always forget about the lovely Paul Kelly music in #TheCastle

Here's something childish to start your week.

If you'd like one of these to hand in the loo, I can draw one for you.

The interesting thing about the Jousting Sticks is that there are now professional Jousting tournaments in Australia which didn't exist when this film came out #TheCastle

So are we live watching everyone?
#TheCastle in just under 30 minutes, and #TheDish next Monday (Dec 8) at 8:40pm! @tlschampagne.bsky.social
Heads up! Channel 9 are airing Iconic Aussie Movies on Monday nights. It's Crocodile Dundee this Monday (dunno if it's the Encore Cut), but #TheCastle and #TheDish will be part of the season. Sadly, #AnyQuestionsForBen isn't iconic... yet. @tlschampagne.bsky.social

Just finished writing my script for a version of Wizard of Oz told entirely from Toto’s perspective.

It’s called Wicked: For Good Boy.

Again, we really need to reexamine what “breaking news” means.
