My New Vampire Website

April 15th 2009 06:35

Do you like vampires or things that go bump in the night? Do you like having the bejeebus scared out of you? Would you also like to see reviews of movies, books and such that cover this deep and bloody underworld? Then I have just the thing for you!

I have started a website called Vampire Daze. Although the biggest focus will be on vampires, it will also cover other horrors and nasties such as shapeshifters, werewolves, witchcraft and the list goes on. If you can think of something otherwordly, I’ll probably write about it. It will also cover the subculture that goes with the various netherworld topics.

I’ve been a big fan of vampires since I read Bram Stoker’s Dracula when I was twelve. I was totally hooked. I soon became a fan of the horror genre and I devoured (no pun intended) books, videos and anything else I could get my hands on. I blame my mum, who is in her seventies, but is a big fan of horror herself.

Although my tastes are far more varied now, I still have a soft spot for all things vampy, both the horror and the camp.

Anyway, I hope you’ll drop by for a visit and, if it takes your fancy, subscribe.

Vampire Daze also has a Twitter account and a Myspace page so come on over…

…I won’t bite

…much!

The Burning Season

October 12th 2008 09:46

As part of the Future Makers series, ABC1 presents this revolutionary documentary touted as the follow-up film to Al Gore's An Inconvenient Truth.

Each year, there is a burning season in Indonesia. Rainforests are cut down and burnt every hour to clear land for crops such as palm oil, making Indonesia the third largest producer of carbon emissions in the world. Indonesian palm oil farmer Achmadi confronts the impact of his deliberately lit fires on climate change: what is he to do when this is the only income he knows? In nearby Borneo, Danish-born Lone Droscher-Nielsen rescues and cares for the hundreds of orangutans devastated by these very fires. Lone's goal is to find forest areas that are safe from logging and burning and return the rehabilitated orangutans to the wild.

As the world faces up to the impacts of climate change, a young environmental entrepreneur, Dorjee Sun, proposes a massive carbon trading deal that could protect the forests of Indonesia, save the orangutan from extinction, and affect the Earth’s future.
The Burning Season looks at solutions to climate change. At the UN Climate Change Conference in Bali, Dorjee relentlessly pursues his deal. Does his concept offer new hope to the remaining forests of the world and the earth's climate? Met with a mixture of surprise, intrigue, confusion and scepticism in a period of four months, Dorjee's proposal is rejected 203 times. Dorjee however, won't give up on his quest. He re-works his proposal and pitches it in London, the carbon capital of the world. He finally finds a receptive partner in one of the world's largest banks, Merrill Lynch.

The Burning Season asks is he a pioneer or a profiteer? Does his concept offer new hope for the climate, and the world's remaining forests?

"Every year, there is one outstanding documentary that you cannot miss...That people will talk about because of its significance to the planet's future...This coming year, 'The Burning Season' is that documentary." - Hugh Jackman

This is a bit dear to my heart as one of my friends, NICOLETTE BOAZ, composed the music for a TV hour and a feature length version of The Burning Season. She put her blood, sweat and tears into it (also a few other friends performed the music). I hope you will take the time to watch.

Even if you are a global warming / climate change non-believer, these orangutans are in grave danger. Set aside your reservations and watch...you never know, it may just change your mind.

The Burning Season screens on ABC1 at 8.30pm on Tuesday 14 October.

Hedwig Sydney Shows Postponed!

September 6th 2008 05:49

The sneak previews for the Sydney performances of Hedwig and the Angry Inch look to have been postponed. This news has not been confirmed yet so if you're a ticket holder hang on to your boots and I'll update as soon as possible.

The national shows are still set to go ahead but rumoured problems with production readiness look set to prevent the Sydney shows going ahead at this time. As I said, this has not been confirmed and as soon as I have confirmation I will post an update. Tickets still seem to be on sale and I have put in a call for confirmation and have yet to hear back but it does look as though, at this stage, a postponement will be announced soon.

I'm sure the wonderful people at Showtune Productions and the fabulously talented Musical Director want it to be perfect before it goes before an audience.

Well never let it be said that the 'slip of a girly boy' isn't followed by controversy.

STAY TUNED!
