This whole film pieced together is bursting with stories and lines of narration that at first seem to be cluttered en masse, soon prove to be beautifully crafted together in a familiar and deliberate manner.
The Perth Illustrators Redefining How We Understand Art
In Perth today - unheralded and unknown - there is a group of Illustrators who are quietly setting about attempting to redefine how we view the world, and the role that "art" plays within it.
I.N. After Dark #1: Why TV is No Longer Film's 'Inferior Cousin'
Back in the old days, television was regarded as the “inferior cousin” to cinema, but that is not the case anymore. This year’s Emmys is a good example to illustrate how much that tide has turned, and television’s ascension to being the home for quality visual storytelling and characterisation.
Look Closer…Psycho, 1998
But as we know by this time it was already the school of thought that if you were to remake a film, you must add something new, do something different; but Van Sant opted against this and demanded that if he were to do it, he must do a true remake. The film must be a shot-for-shot, score-for-score, moment by moment redoing of what Hitchcock did. His thinking was pretty much; who was he to change what was already perfect.
This weekend, let Possible Worlds Film Festival scratch that burning indie film itch inside you.
You know you’ve got one.
Look, I get it: Guardians of the Galaxy was space-tacular, Dawn of the Planet of the Apes was ape-tastic, and Transformers 4: Age of Extinction was more like Age of Ex-stinking-garbage. But now that you’ve satiated your blockbuster appetite, I know that you’re craving for that sweet, sweet high you get from smaller, wackier, and more brain-churning indie flicks.
UNI HACK: Watch & Download All (Even Hidden) UWA Lectures
As we've already addressed, some lecturers are just dicks; but there are different levels of dickery. The one who lets you watch his lectures is pretty bad, but then there's the one who refuses to make his lectures available online. We have two great solutions for you!
The Event Review you Probably Don’t Care About but Should: Courtney Love and Concert Going
She gave fans as special an evening as they could ever have hoped for. But I thought for this article it would prove more interesting to explore the overall act of concert going, which is honestly one that really has a lot of problems with it when you stop and think about it. So please join me as I suck all the fun out of your next gig by drawing attention to all the shitty elements you’ll inevitably have to deal with.
Deregulation of Planning Approvals, Taxi Industry Promising Signal from WA Government
The policy shift towards deregulation of the building industry shows that the state government is beginning to recognise that property rights are more important than occupying the work hours of planners. For taxi drivers, it allows an industry retarded by government interference to compete in the face of increasing competition.
Mid Year Report: 2014's Music
With the end of June also came the halfway point of 2014 (yeah, just think about that for a moment!). The first half of the year has been absolutely stellar for music, with some truly brilliant albums being released. Here are some of the best in our not so humble opinion.

Review: Northbridge Brewing Company
On Saturday night, a few friends and I went to check out the latest (and arguably coolest) venue in Northbridge, the Northbridge Brewing Company. Located on the edge of the Piazza on Lake St, Northbridge Brewing Company is a formidable sight, with a rooftop bar offering city views while you drink.
Film Review: Guardians of the Galaxy
Sometimes you’ve got to leave serious movies to the cinephiles and see a movie featuring a talking raccoon and a tree fighting evil aliens.
Top Tips To Thriving Through Tough Tertiary Times
That title is a little bit much; I had a ‘thrive during’ in there but the alliteration was more fun. It’s more the standard of a person who thinks they are good enough to post tips about uni life on an internet forum, as if any one gives a crap. Nonetheless; now at the end of my first semester of my third year at university, I’ve been thinking about some things that have helped me survive.
Film Review: Snowpiercer dir. Bong Joon-Ho
So the story goes that in the year 2014 humanity, after finally accepting global warming as a thing, attempted to fight against it and thus, set of chain of events that ushered in a new ice age. Our present day is now the not too distant future of 2031 and those who are survived managed to do so by purchasing a ticket on a train that travels around the entire planet each year.
Film Review: These Final Hours dir. Zack Hilditch
So it is a hot summer day in Perth and you just found out that in a matter of hours, the whole world is going to go up in smoke and everyone is going to die a horrible fiery death, what do you do?
Suburban Social Sciences: Graffiti Artists
The graffiti artist does not seem to be motivated by a collectivist interest either in the wider public sphere, or indeed their own clique. They are rugged individualists that take myopic risks to please a small group of others and in turn win praise.
Robin Thicke's Paula and the Afterlife of Marvin Gaye's Here, My Dear
Behind the headlines of 54 copies sold in its first week and accusations of harassment, Josh Chiat explains how Robin Thicke's awful, maligned Paula reveals more about the history of trad soul than might first be imagined.
When the Need Strikes, Shelter in the Muddies
Returning a few weeks later, we found that our house among the trees had been improved upon in haphazard fashion, superior perhaps to our first changes, but now blatantly underwhelming. Immediately we hoisted the logs that suspended the roof onto much higher boughs...

Death Grips - The Powers That B (part one: niggas on the moon)
It sees the trio expanding on a less RIGHT IN YOUR FUCKING FACE BOOM LOUD SCREAM ETC. vibe and more, a subtle hello I am here we are pretty loud but have some pretty bits around the place, I can’t make you love viola, and SCREAM TOO.
