The fascinating thing about Guy Pierce's performance in The Brutalist is it makes you realise he would NAIL playing Preston Exley, the father of his character from LA Confidential.

TIL that some of the storm plates shot for Master & Commander's rounding the cape scene were shot aboard the HMB Endeavour replica at the Maritime Museum here in Sydney.
The idea of THAT ship (which is a collier, so not ideally shaped for such things) hit a storm like that is pretty horrifying.

Finally got to watching the 4k bluray of The Lost Boys I got ages back.
For anyone who was concerned that The Lost Boys might not kick ass the way you remember it kicking ass? Fear not, it fucking kicks ass.
This would make a BANGER of a double-feature with Near Dark.

Decided which cameras to bring for my trip this weekend.
Leica M5, the Cadillac of Rangefinders, and my new Fujifilm X-E5.

Breaking the silence of an early Sunday morning, echoing around the courtyard of a neighbouring apartment building, come the fetid screechings of AM talk-back radio.
I've heard things no woman should hear.
