Ah, the Tourist Hotel Corporation. The hotel at Waitangi was only ever referred to locally as "The THC".

Interesting double at Academy Cinemas in Auckland tomorrow night (Saturday 14th).
CRASH (1996), 6.15pm (David Cronenberg);
SUICIDE CLUB (aka SUICIDE CIRCLE) (2001) (Sion Sono), 8.30pm.
The latter is part of a Turn of the Century: Japanese Film Festival.

Pottle of mussel sounds very vaguely familar, thanks. I grew up in Tai Tokerau and was *very* seldom in Tāmaki Makaurau before 1990.

Hmmm. Pottle. Maybe on the yoghurt? But *if* I heard it, it was hardly ever. Usually it was just referred to as a tub of yoghurt. Or as just yoghurt.

I have never before heard of pottle. Ever. I might have heard the word peaknuckle once - years ago and without any proper context. Is it regional within Aotearoa I wonder? Much like the game I knew as tiggy is known as tag in some parts of the country.

I have created a diorama of the Partridge family attacking the Brady Bunch family. My life is very boring.

I do like that the scheduled airtimes seem to be in local time for your particular country (well, it is for mine, so I assume the same for all).

So, will still need the HonorClub sub to see ROH shows on WatchROH after the fact, as well as the other archives there.

I guess WatchROH works as an archive at present regardless of geography. Perhaps they are figuring out a way forward without duplicating resources (i.e. having to have one platform for local, one for rest of world), especially for things where content licensing/broadcasting isn't a factor.

Maybe they are still working on migrating that material to the new site as well?

09.03.2026 22:00 πŸ‘ 1 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 1 πŸ“Œ 0

The one thing it does not currently have is the extensive ROH archive that is on the WatchROH website.

He heard there were β€œmicro fish” and got excited. He didn’t quite understand but it was impressive to even get close being a raccoon.

Remembering a film festival a few years ago where I ended up with a double feature of sorts at one venue of
MEMORIA,
directed by Apichatpong Weerasethakul,
followed by
MANDIBLES,
directed by Quentin Dupieux.

Kind of a whiplash in terms of a double feature.

A handicap blue and white painted sign on the asphalt of a parking space. The symbols are meant to be a pregnant women and a baby stroller, but it doesn't look like that. It looks like pac man being killed with scissors next to a dancer

I watched Collision on delay. At first I was annoyed there were "What?" chants at Thekla. Then I thought, this is Thekla! Given her punk band background, I rather suspect this doesn't bother her at all. And she leaned into it.
