Some random snaps from our trip to DC last weekend

Meeting my doppelganger

Evidently that's me second from the right.

In fact it's the lead singer/rapper from South Africa's rising musical stars, Die Antwoord.

Samsung 3D LED TV + Times Square

On Wednesday night (NYC time) we helped Samsung with the global launch of their new Full HD 3D LED TV.

Effectively, we were 'liberating' 2D content and taking it into a new dimension.

So, we staged a 'secret concert' in Times Square, having The Black Eyed Peas step out of a large television stage set and treat 20,000 people to a new dimension in entertainment.

The whole bash was filmed in 3D by James Cameron (and broadcast live on five Times Square digital billboards).

Donald Trump, Hilary Duff and Andy Samberg were among the guests.

Some random Vienna pictures from last week

Pee

Oh, Vienna (dah-dah dum-dum-dah-dah)

Have landed in Vienna.

A little warmer than New York. But still cold.

A gray city. But lots of great architecture and charm.

Sadly, I won't get to see too much of it as I'm only here for three-and-a-half days (with much of that spent inside a conference center rehearsing a show).

Happy Valentine's Day (you know who)

The Last Tattoo (at last)

I was browsing the DVD shelves at Larchmont Public Library (Westchester County, NY) this morning and the above title caught my eye.

Priding myself on knowing plenty about film culture, I was rather embarrassed to find that this very good noir-style war picture was shot in my home town of Wellington, many years ago. I had no idea.

It stars a whole host of talented Kiwi actors from John Bach to Kerry Fox to Katie Wolfe (who was in my film class at university) to Tim Balme, as well as a host of classic American actors.

Was very nostalgic to be watching Wellington's streets circa 1943.

It made me think about my grandmother and all her stories of the GI's in the Capital.

If you haven't seen it, do.
