Seriously, out of all three PT audiences, the Sydney one (unsurprisingly) had the most wankers.

After this weekend, it looks like the screenings drop to once a day (at 8pm)... may be coming to the end of the run. The last date it shows on the site is Weds, 7th of May, but that's the same for all the films, I think.

I won't be in Melbourne for the weekend of the 10th/11th...

As for regular cinemas (yawn, boring), I don't think U23D's showing in Crown or Melbourne Central... bugger.

Hey, Maj., last night my dimwitted, over-eager stepbrother made a botched attempt to convert me to Christianity. He got theologically OWNED.

 

[Alisaura]

Where did everyone go?

I went to a wide variety of cinema websites with shitty navigation.

 

[coolian2]

But I was stuck in Newtown, Sydney, and lung cancer was more appealling.

I'm actually rather fond of Newtown

This makes my inner die-hard Melbournite very smug.

People who try to convert without knowing what they're talking about generally do...

How DO people attempt to convert others? I don't see anyone staring, enraptured, at those people who stand on street corners and shout biblical things.

"Hey, did you know (insert religious figure) loves you/forgives all your sins/can lead to enlightenment/will smite you with its noodly appendage?"

"ZOMG really!?" *converted*






Side note - guy at work has a cat called Jeebus.

Hey, saw this in the paper today and lol'd:

The Australian

MOUNT Isa may be the worst place to buy a house, but Sydney's western suburbs dominate a list of 13 of the nation's top no-go zones for residential real estate investors.

Housing hotspot specialist Terry Ryder says Parramatta, Bankstown and Blacktown have become the home repossession capitals of Sydney.

His report says Bankstown offers "a smorgasbord" of reasons not to buy, and the Blacktown/Mt Druitt region is regularly held up as a symbol of society gone wrong. Ethnic tensions, high crime rates and aircraft noise are reasons to stay away from Bankstown, and Blacktown/Mt Druitt is no better.

"Imagine living in an area where there's an arson attack on a home every second day," Mr Ryder says.

"O RLY? I better convert now ZOMG!"

No she fucking won't. Tell the gays that.

I just went to have a look at the site for the local independent cinema... and it's not connecting.

 

[Axver]

I'm actually rather fond of Newtown

I know King Street is meant to be a hip, happening place, but all that stood out to me was the amount of "recycled" and "preloved" clothing stores.

 

[major_panic]

Oh, and Ax, you should've come along to the concert today, it was pretty decent: Adelaide band called Lowrider, really interesting blend of musical styles. I couldn't really pin them down into any category; maybe funk-rock-hip-hop-R'n'B-blues might sort of work.

I actually bought their CD; first time I've done so.

Deathbed conversions FTW.

On cue!


The website for my local cinemas is pretty good, once you click on the link that you think isn't what you want but really is.

I'm not THAT fond of it.

Henson Park and very nearby surrounds for the win.

Yeah, that's pretty crap too. And it's only the one screen...

Aforementioned stepbrother came in and asked me if I'd studied any theology. He then had other questions about what I thought of Jesus and what my religion is, and was fairly stunned when I told him I'm an atheist ... and have read the New Testament nine times.

He very quickly realised he was out of his depth when I not only knew every line of argument he used, but knew the argument's actual name (Pascal's wager, for example) or could even draw on Hebrew scholarship (the "born of a virgin/young girl" matter). It was an interesting time.

(I self-identified as atheist over agnostic for two reasons: 1. feeling bold, and 2. the safe assumption he wouldn't differentiate between agnosticism and atheism anyway.)

AWESOME.

Despite what you think....locations is the one you should instantly select.

But it's actually pretty good once you're used to that little trick

An arson attack every second day? SYDNEY FOR THE EPIC FAIL.

It sounds like the reverse lottery!

That reminds me of the Simpsons episode where Bart meets that revival preacher and states how his plan is to live a life of sin and then convert on his deathbed.

I've always been sooooo tempted to do that, just to see what would happen.

 

[Axver]

You know what's sad? I've been to Sydney five times in the last five years, and seen fuck-all of it.

09/03: drove through it to get to Melbourne. Clearest memory is spotting the "American High School". Quite possibly the first time I ever made a derogatory remark about Americans being inward-looking people who can't hack the outside world.

05/05: Passed through airport on way to America.

07/05: Passed through airport on way home from America.

11/06: U2 gigs. Pretty much only saw the airport, Central Station and my hotel by it, and Telstra Stadium.

04/08: PT gig. Saw airport and two streets of Newtown (seriously, that was it: King and Enmore Streets).

That's my plan too. Or at least, i plan to tell some lunatic attempting to convert me just that.

Do people tend to assume that to read the Bible is to believe it/be converted? How curious.

 

[coolian2]

Well, unless i've made a horrible adding error, this post will draw me level with Vazza.


Goodnight all!
