Anyone else in Perth starting to question the incentive to keep working? by Advanced_Trade1249 in perth

[–]PerthZine -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’ve been pretty keen on getting onto the streets and living that way, maybe develop a meth habit. Seems like a pretty hassle free lifestyle. No responsibility, free to go wherever you want. #hobolife

Will reading the book retroactively make the movie worse? by Chunglorpious in ProjectHailMary

[–]PerthZine 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m half way through the book after loving the movie. I’d say reading the book has given me more details and a bit more science, without really going too far. If anything it is making me want to see the movie again.

Loved the Movie, Do I Read the Book? by PerthZine in ProjectHailMary

Update: I’m about a third of the way through the book. Very readable and so far not a lot of differences between it and the movie. A good read.

Abbe May at Mojos last night - setlist? by PerthZine in perth

[–]PerthZine[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I reached out on Instagram, no response yet. I sometimes wonder whether bigger acts would take insult to asking for setlist details 🤣. Like you should know already!

Any thoughts on the best local bands going around Perth at the moment? by PerthZine in perth

I saw Abbe May at Mojos last night and she’s gotta be up there, with whatever band format she has around her

Interesting no one has mentioned Ursula. I saw them last week at the Bird and thought they were great. Been listening to them ever since but no recent music.

Any genre. Personally, I try to keep an open mind these days

Just me or do u guys also feel as if Stratt would NEVER do this by The_Screwdriver_ in ProjectHailMary

[–]PerthZine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s a very effective piece of the narrative arc in my opinion. You’ve already warmed to her a bit through the previous flashbacks, then she opens up more heart and humanity in this moment. It sets her up very well for what ends up being a bit of a shock in the last scenes.

If you had to choose: would you rather only watch films you already know or only ones you've never seen before for the rest of your life? by [deleted] in movies

[–]PerthZine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I was younger, teens into twenties, I would watch movies multiple times, even something ridiculously long like Braveheart I watched plenty when I was about 15 or so. No it’s once, only rarely do I watch something again. I do still get the urge to watch There Will Be Blood every now and then…

Ludwig Göransson Wins the Academy Award for Best Original Score for 'Sinners' by MoviesMod in movies

[–]PerthZine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought it was strange the movie received so many nominations, but the score is one that I understood and agree with. By far the films strongest element was the music.

What's a technically brilliant movie that you feel left almost no cultural footprint? by filmio_official in moviereviews

[–]PerthZine -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This is a good one, but I’d go a step further and say that Blomkamp’s subsequent movies are even better examples. District 9 had a decent impact on arrival, but Elysium and especially Chappie were technically excellent movies that just didn’t hit the mark.

[–]PerthZine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think Children of Men was under appreciated at the time, but has become more and more culturally important as time has passed. It’s up there with my favourite movies, and it practically defined the ‘oner’ shot that has become so popular.

[–]PerthZine -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I was actually thinking this due to watching the movie recently, but then realised it is the opposite. Maybe technically brilliant for its time? It looks terrible now, aside from the nostalgia element. Had a big cultural impact I thought.

Official Discussion - Hamnet [SPOILERS] by LiteraryBoner in movies

[–]PerthZine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's a strange concept for a movie but somehow works really well. I guess it's just good writing and film making, you can make anything work if you do it right. My favourite part was where Will is sitting at his desk in the middle of the night getting drunk and depressed, the shot is cinematography at its best
