Hunt for the Wilderpeople (Taika Waititi, 2016)

[tractort33th]

"... And if we meet some other place, A stranger you will be, I can't remember name or face, They're all the same to me,

I'll greet you like a brother, I'll make you laugh somehow, And then one day I'll drift away, Just like I'm doin' now."

-Excerpt from Song of a Drifter -Barry Crump

I am still alive, just very busy with life and adult things. Holy smokes it's nearly the end of March. here's an old wip of an au near and dear to my heart. It starts of Raph-centric with the Hamato's now as young adults and drifting off into the world to find their own way.

Raph himself delves deeper into the outskirts of the Hidden City, drifting between farms and docks, following the harvest season for work and pay. He's strong and resilient with plenty of stamina. The long days, simple instructions and colourful characters were perfect for him to find his footing as a foreigner and provided plenty of distractions from his own concerns. He keeps in good contact with Leo, average with Donnie and only hears about Mikey through the prior two.

I'd like to start a comic but we'll see.

“Take me instead.” For Barry Allen?

(set during S1, Rogue Air.) Barry looked at the folded napkin Snart pushed back to him, already regretting this plan. But if the law wouldn't help keep the city safe, someone like Snart was---the maybe third best bad choice he had. And Oliver was busy. He couldn't do nothing and  let Nimbus and Mardon die, but if they got out, they'd kill everyone he cared about. Snart wasn't a hero by evil the loosest stretch of the term, but he wouldn't want the city destroyed by a tsunami any more than Barry did. That had to count for something....

Snart waited for him to open it and read his price. Barry did, then folded it shut again. "No," he said, taking deliberate effort to slow the word  in his mouth instead of spitting it too fast for anyone to hear.

"Then I guess you don't really need my help," Snart said with a shrug. " get out of my bar, and don't wreck my town."

"It's not your bar or your town," Barry shot back, swallowing.  He crumped the inked napkin in his fist. "I do need your help, just-- not this. Take me instead."

Snart raised an eyebrow. 

"You," he said flatly. "Not interested. I want the engineer on retainer. You expect me to buy that you, what, double moonlight as a mechanical genius on top of everything else?"

"No," Barry admitted. "But I can... a favor. Any one favor, from me. Not my friends, not my family, and not  something that directly harms anyone. How about that?"

"You'll commit a crime for me? You think I trust you on that?" Snart asked, leaning forward. "Hmm. I'm intrigued. Alright then. You destroy everything CCPD's got on me and you've got yourself a deal."

Barry started to shake his head.

"Or I get Ramon. If the city's really in as much danger as you say, wouldn't you want him safe?"

"He's not safe with you," Barry said, thinking of the black eye. The bloodied wrists. " You've got a deal. all the evidence."

"And the digital records. everything."

Snart was a criminal, and a sloppy one. He'd get caught again. They could build a new case against him. Just not if the city was destroyed.

"Everything," Barry agreed.

Taika Waititi’s 'Hunt for the Wilderpeople' shouldn’t work. It’s the kind of project that’s difficult to describe without making it sound clichéd and sentimental.

Brian Tallerico

[mockturtle8]

You walk lighter on the land when you like the land you walk on, and you can see your way through a tangle of vines or a heap of rocks or a tricky river before you even reach them.  Distance becomes a different thing, too.  And time.  It alters your pace, to do it right.  You move slower but you get there sooner, and quieter, and more convinced than last time that in a mysterious kind of way it's all one big living thing.

The Habit He Can’t Break 3/4

IQ 123 | Gordon Masson | 9.11.2023

We Made It

Making sure that the Faith in the Future tour delivers Tomlinson to his growing legion of fans, PM Sherwood’s first long association with the artist manager, Vines made him the obvious choice when the artist first began his solo career.

“I remember doing a lot of promo dates around the UK and US before we started touring properly,” says Sherwood of his work with Tomlinson. “In fact, one of the first shows I remember doing with Louis was in Madrid when he played in a stadium, and I could see it was a taste of things to come.”

The partnership between Sherwood and Vines is crucial. 

“In terms of the show growing, our biggest challenge is keeping costs down, because we’re extremely cautious on ticket pricing,” says Vines. “We don’t do dynamic pricing, we don’t do platinum ticketing, we don’t do paid VIPs, we don’t increase ticket prices on aisle seats – all those tricks that everyone does that most fans don’t know about: we don’t do any of those.”

“So, when it comes to the production side of things, we need to be incredibly careful. But I’ve been working with Craig for a decade, and he knows the importance of trying to keep costs as low as possible. For instance, we’ll run the show virtually a number of times, so Louis can watch it with the show designer, Tom Taylor, make comments and tweak things. Then we’ll go into pre-production. But we try to do as much in virtual reality as possible before we take it into the physical world.”

Sherwood states, “Basically we started out with two or three trucks, but now we’re up to nine, and things seem to be getting bigger day by day.”

Thankfully, Sherwood has amassed a vastly experienced crew over the years, allowing them to handle even the most unexpected scenarios. “I’ve been touring since the dawn of time, but the core crew I work with now has been together since about 2010, and I trust them implicitly, so I’ll leave it up to them who they hire, as long as they think I’m going to like them, and they all get along with everyone. So far, it has worked well,” Sherwood reports.

And the veteran crew has dealt with some terrifying weather extremes on the current tour, including a show at Red Rocks in Colorado, where the audience were subjected to a freak, storm with golf ball-sized hail stones injuring dozens of people. 

Elsewhere, the crew has had to act quickly when the threat of high winds in Nashville caused problems on that outdoor run. “We didn’t want the video screens blowing about above the heads of the band, so it must have been amusing for the audience to see us taking them down,” Sherwood reports. 

Indoors in Europe, the environment has been more controllable. The production itself involves an A-stage set 180° across the barricades, although Sherwood says that on occasion, a catwalk is also used by the perimeters. 

“It’s a great lighting show and fantastic for audio, as we have phenomenal front-of-house sound engineer – John Delf, from Edge Studios – who makes life very easy for the rest of us,” says Sherwood. He also namechecks Barrie Pitt (monitor engineer), Oli Crump (audio system designer), Tom Taylor (lighting designer), Sam Kenyon (lighting technical director), and Torin Arnold (stage manager), while he praises Solo-Tech for supplying the sound, and Colour Sound Experiment (CSF) for taking charge of lighting, video, and rigging equipment.

Indeed CSE has 10 personnel out with the Faith in the Future tour. “We have eight screens on the road – six on stage plus two IMAGS that we use wherever appropriate, the company’s Haydn Cruikshank tells IQ.

“We need to tweak the rigging on a daily basis, as we move to different venues, but other than that, it’s a fairly smooth process thanks to Craig Sherwood. He is old school and planned and worked on the production very far in advance, which is a great scenario for all involved. Craig is definitely one of our favorite production managers to work with.”

Garry Lewis at bussing contractors Beat The Street is also a fan of PM Sherwood.

“Craig split the European tour into different runs. So, from Hamburg to Zürich, we had two super high decker 12-berth buses for the tour party and two 16-berth double-deckers for the crew,” says Lewis. “After the show in Athens, we still have the two super high-deckers, as Louis knew them – he prefers to spend time on the bus, rather than in hotels – but we also have two 12-berth super high-deckers for the crew, as well as another crew 16-berth double-decker.”

Lewis continues, “We’ve worked with Craig for a good few years, and we have a great relationship with him. He plans everything way in advance, so it means it’s all very straightforward for us with no issues. So, we use single drivers for each bus, except on the longer runs, or when our drivers are scheduled for prolong breaks, and then we’ll fly an extra drivers as needed.”

Took a break from Xmas/winter shows and movies to watch this because it leaves HULU at the end of the month.

Officially My new favorite movie too.
