A Slightly Sondheim Wedding
Some people really get a kick out of chaos. They get a secret little tingle of exhilaration when things don't go quite to plan. And they can hardly contain themselves as things come crashing down around someone else. Are you one of these people? We get this:
It's the big day; the wedding day. But trouble is brewing.
The Happy Mad
Brisbane-indie-artist-making-it-out-there Simon Degroot celebrates a string of solo and group shows in Sydney and Melbourne and three years running as an full-time artist by raising a glass and a self-published book of works called The Happy Mad.
“Many of the paintings in The Happy Mad are about spending time inside yourself and how sometimes there’s something, a bit like a screaming beast inside, that’s yearning to get out,” said Simon.
Bloody Mary’s Markets
Do you know what they are saying about us? They are saying that the “kids today” are “boozers” and “bludgers”, spending most seedy Saturday afternoon bottom-feeding with buddies in some banged-up bar somewhere. To them we say: that is what Saturdays are for! The only thing that could make such an experience better would be the ability to buy; to blow our week’s wage on useless crap without leaving the bar stool.
Silly Symphonies: Renegades and Fine Romance
Back in the early days of Disney—before the hand of God would have had just cause to smite the company executives for committing idolatry—Walt also had a series of animated shorts that didn’t include iconic characters at all. Silly Symphonies, as they were dubbed, were reworks of classic tales and nursery rhymes set to a range of musical compositions.
Earth Hour
Sitting in the dark with just the dim light of a candle fighting back the impending black may be the year-round favoured pastime of the goth kids, but there are two ways you too can become a temporary creature of the night: either ignore your bills long enough that your electricity gets cut off, or take part in Earth Hour.
Before the Devil Knows You’re Dead
What’s that saying? Keep your friends close and your enemies closer? Well if anything, Before the Devil Knows You’re Dead encourages you to keep your family closer still.
Andy Hanson (Philip Seymour Hoffman) is a conniving finance executive failing at the money market who convinces his younger sibling Hank (Ethan Hawke) to be his main man on a jewellery heist.
Coffee & Chocolate
Don’t let the unimaginativeness of its name fool you into thinking there is nothing special about this café. Tucked up one end of Queens Plaza, the café - like the name Chocolate & Coffee suggests - stocks only chocolate and coffee, but oh what deliciously decedent chocolates and beautifully rich coffee.
