Double Explosion at Maltese Fireworks Factory on the First Day of Fireworks Safety Month? 🎆🧯🚒

A huge explosion at a fireworks
factory has rattled northern Malta

Well, after reading the news story about a fireworks factory in Malta I can't help but think back to Jake Kotze's sync short about the Maltese Cross and 'The Masters of the Universe' movie that starts this week.

How to Celebrate New Year’s Resolution Recommitment Day?🥳🎇🍾🎆

Every June 1st

"New Year’s Resolution Recommitment Day offers a second chance, not as a guilt trip, but as a practical reset. It’s a day to revisit those goals, figure out what got in the way, and renew commitment with a clearer, more realistic plan."

First Monday in June

I don't remember what my New Year’s resolutions were for this year, or even if I actually made any, but I did have plans for this year ... or at least dreams, and one of them was to visit Perth for the first time in my life to see The Sharks play The Roosters at OPTUS oval with my son.

But he told me that he couldn't get the time off work for that weekend, so that didn't happen.

Every June

Sydney Harbour packed for
New Year's Eve spectacular

Me watching the Perth game from my home in Brisbane:-(

Although, it is looking more likely that I'll be among the Perthlings in this second half of the year, God willing that is.

As long as that Snake of theirs doesn't wreck my plans before, or when, I get over there;-)

Do you know that to fly direct from Brisbane to either Perth or Singapore takes around about the same time?

All My Friends Are Back in Brisbane? 🎫🎬👏

Yesterday my youngest son and I went to a Q and A screening of the movie 'All My Friends Are Back in Brisbane' at the New Farm Cinemas.

All My Friends Are Back in Brisbane (2026)

So, it was kind of ironic that we had to travel back to Brisbane to watch this film, as I left Brisbane when I was about 20 and have lived in Logan City right to this present day:-)

It's more or less a sequel to the 2007 cult hit 'All My Friends Are Leaving Brisbane', which I have written about years ago on this blog -

All My Friends Are Leaving Brisbane (2007)

How It Feels??? Synchronistic That's How! (Part 1)

While I still like the first film, the sequel is way funnier than the first I reckon.

Although the soundtrack to the first film is way better in my opinion.

My Favourite Music from "All My Friends Are Leaving Brisbane"

I have the original movie on DVD, so my son and I watched it in the week leading up to the preview screening of the sequel, but Louise has put the full-length movie up on You Tube to watch, if you haven't seen it.

It's been up on You Tube for the last 4 months and it nearly has 100,000 hits.

This new film doesn't seem to have a trailer available on the net anywhere, which is weird.

Not even on its IMDB page.
By the way it has a score of 9.4 out of 10 at its IMDB page, which I feel is about right.

My son is a tough movie critic, and even he says he gives it 9 out of 10. 

The movie was shot around the Brisbane CBD, West End and New Farm, especially right across the road from the cinema in the unit complex the writer/director couple live in next to the Crust Pizza shop, so the New Farm Cinemas is the place to go see it, I reckon.

I even grabbed a coffee before the film from the coffee shop across the road, because I knew it was featured in the film from the screenshots I saw at the movie's IMDB page.

And I usually grab an alcoholic drink from the bar when I go watch a movie at the New Farm Cinema.

New Farm Cinemas have put on a week's worth of sessions for the movie starting this Thursday, so go see it if you live in or around Brisbane.
