Yes it’s that time of the year again, where Melbourne is host to it’s very own International Film Festival (MIFF). This 17 day event will be kicking off next Friday (25th July) and up run until July the 17th.
Since I’ve got a short attention span it took me a while to sort through the usual tedious arthouse listings, but the following is a list of the movies that I’ll be hoping to check out at the Festival. For a detailed list of film times & locations scroll to the bottom of the post.
There are certain levels to being an Apple fan. This morning (extremely early this morning) I levelled up as for the first time I stayed up for my first ever live Apple Keynote.
The keynote in question was the World Wide Developers Conference (WWDC) and it kicked off at 3am Melbourne time. I was fortunate enough to stumble upon a live audio feed from someone in the audience so I could hear his Royal Steveness in the flesh, live and in full.
Goldfinger will be hitting our shores in May to promote the release of their upcoming album Hello Destiny (April 22nd).
It’s been quite a while since their last album, but with their latest they’re said to return to their old school ska roots. Unfortunately I missed these guys last time they supported Reel Big Fish, but I’ve heard that they always put on a memorable show (The twinky trick will surely make an appearance).
Goldfinger will be playing at the Corner Hotel on Friday 16th of May. Tickets go on sale this Friday and will cost $42.90 + bf.
Alright it’s game time and no I’m not talking about Shitbloke’s table tennis challenge.
The Game On exhibition has now begun at the ACMI @ Melbourne’s Federation square. While most gaming events are usually held in Sydney, we have been particularly lucky lately to have had a couple (Egames & now Game On) hosted right here on our doorsteps.
As I’m particularly lazy today, I’ve decided to just paste some details right from the ACMI website.

Hi all,
On Monday I attended my second Big Day Out and despite my earlier laments with the late 2nd round announcements and ticket allocation the day ended up being a lot of fun.
While the previous 2 years have been held at Princes Park this year the venue was the Flemington Showgrounds. While the site was large enough to accommodate everyone there were still one or two issues with the new site.
Happy new year to everyone and all the best in 2008!
Merry Christmas to all the hundredpennies crew and loyal listeners that have tuned into the podcast and read our posts.
Hope you have a great day and hopefully you don’t receive too many dodgy presents.
I’ll be in Adelaide till the 30th, but i’ll t ry and sneak in some posts while i’m on the road.
Cheers and all the best!
Hi everyone.
As we’re reaching the end of 2007 I thought now would be a good time for our loyal hundredpennies listeners to vote on what they think were the best entertainment releases of the year. To make your decision easier and refresh your memories I’ve listed down all the nominations into separate areas such as album, gig, T.V, movie, video game, gadget and beer. Keep in mind that these lists aren’t definitive so feel free to tell me anything I’ve left out. The total number of votes will then be counted (shouldn’t be too hard as there’s only 6 people who actually read this site according to the comments) and the winner of each category will then be announced on a future ‘Best Of’ podcast special.
