There are haters, lovers and everyone in between. Let’s unpack the new Batman trailer. We see everything we wanted to see. The Batsuit, Zoe Kravitz’s Catwoman and Matt Reeve’s Gotham noir in all its hauntingly dark glory. Did we mention Robert Pattinson’s first line as the Batman? We didn’t? You’ll have to wait. Before we kick proceedings off, let’s clear up the difference between Christian Bale’s Batman and Robert Pattinson’s new Batman. The Batman covers Robert Pattinson’s Bruce Wayne in his second year of crimefighting. Whereas, Christian Bale’s journey explores Bruce Wayne well before he becomes the cape crusader. Essentially,…
We risked it all and placed our fates in the hands of Korean pear juice, so you didn’t have to. Hangovers have been the bane of human existence since the dawn of time. Here’s why. Picture this,you wake up,you feel as though the Rock is holding you by the head, the room is spinning, and you have the urge to vomit suddenly, although there’s nothing to vomit. All that’s left are vague memories that by the afternoon, will either turn into regrets or triumph. Even after nausea disappears like a phantom in the night, your bleeding migraine lingers as your…
It’s uh. 2020? Just when you thought 2020 couldn’t get any more weirder, this happens. J. Cole is no stranger to the NBA. He’s spat raps about it, played a role at the All-Star games and played basketball competitively as a young man. Now, a swirl of rumours are circulating around the famous rapper making a serious run to play in the NBA. If Kanye can run for president, it seems J.Cole is obliged to try out for a basketball career right at the top. In an essay written by J.Cole for The Player’s Tribune, the rapper detailed how he…
A brilliant individual performance that falls short in every other category. Al Capone, otherwise known as Alphonse Gabriel Capone, or as his friends and enemies called him ‘Scarface’ etched his name in gangster history during the Prohibition era in the United States. So much so, plenty of producers, actors and studios have attempted to bring the 7-year-crime-boss’ reign of the Chicago Outfit to life. Robert De Niro and Stephen Graham are just a couple of actors who have had a stab at playing the notorious gangster. This time, we reflect on Tom Hardy’s performance in the film: Capone directed and…
Virgil is done with 2020. Aren’t we all? It’s a comforting thought, Louis Vuitton’s SS21 collection reminds us that 2020 will eventually come to a welcomed end. What better way than to gain a sneak peak at Louis Vuitton’s plans for the future. A short film was released on the LMVH instagram, channeling fresh blue outfits, custom illustrations and a high-fashion worker’s vibe. The clip is very ‘French’ and extremely tied to Virgil’s affinity for music. A new fragrance will arrive, and Abloh announced the collection would be drip fed across various global presentations. LVMH is one example of how…
A day spent with Steph Catley and Dean Bouzanis. Upon my drive to Chelsea beach, forty-five minutes away from Melbourne’s CBD is where I would spend the day with Steph Catley and Dean Bouzanis. Steph’s manager, Jason Sourasis, kindly opened his home to us, where we would sit and chat, have lunch and watch the footy. I grew up watching the English Premier League and always found the cult-like following astounding. Here I was, driving to meet someone who is about to play for one of those teams, whose followers treat their stadium as a church, and their membership like…
It’s the Dan Andrews wine mixer. And it’s here until the end of July. Well, for some suburbs. We hate to say it, but as of a few hours ago, some Victorian suburbs will be on lockdown once again. It honestly feels like we are living in a sci-fi film once again. Suburbs closed off, others free to move as they please. The crackdown arrives as Covid-19 cases continue to rise in Victoria. It seemed we were almost out of the woods, as they say… given the latest spike in cases, restrictions will be in place for certain suburbs. Cafes…
Return of the PS1 game hoard If you have been a loyal fan of the Sony Playstation, you will remember titles like Oddworld, Ratchet and Clank, Hitman and Grand Tourismo. They are the first coming, and they are making a return with the new PS5. Sony has held out on die-hard fans for some time now. This morning, Sony unveiled the PS5 console with a host of games arriving with the newest addtion to the family. We are super keen to see how Marvel’s Myles Morales game hits out against some of the classics, however there are some noteworthy titles…
Santa Clause is real. We don’t know how, and we don’t know why. It seems every Australian may have made the nice list in 2020. There are fewer fights more tantalising than the ‘Bronze Bomber’ and the ‘Gypsy King’. Especially after a draw and a win to Fury. Tyson Fury and Deontay Wilder make for one of the more potent modern-day rivalries in professional boxing. So much so it’s seen Anthony Joshua spend some time in their shadow. We could see the world’s most famous fighters right now in our backyard. Promoter Lonergan said, “Wouldn’t it be great to do…
It’s a narrative that hasn’t changed, and Australia has it’s own battle to fight amid the chaos. It’s important to note. We live in a country that has been stolen. As great as Australia may be, we have our backyard to address, and our systematic racism to deconstruct and act upon. Over 400 hundred Indigenous deaths remain unresolved in Australia, dating 30 years back. A number that is alarming in more ways than one. And while the issue is significant, the problem begins at home. The recent chaos sparked by the death of African-American man George Floyd, by Minneapolis police is…
