Coolness incarnate.

You. Yes, you. Do you have a copy of tuesday's SMH lying around the house? You do? Good. Get it. Flick through it until you see the article on the opening of Lord of The Rings:The Return of The King in New Zealand. Upon seeing the photo accompanying this article you will instantly realise why Peter Jackson is my new hero.
Yeah!
It's the opening of the final climactic installment of the hugest movie project ever achieved by humanity. The world stares on in envy as NZ gets its first bite, and what was Peter Jackson wearing? I'll tell you what Peter Jackson was wearing : SHORTS & a T-SHIRT, that's what. My geeky heart swelled with pride - he would not abandon the uniform of his people.

Legend.

I was inspired by Peter Jackson, but utterly disappointed by the incompetency of the journalist who described Golum as schizophrenic. The character of Golum portayed in LOTR has multiple personality disorder. Schitzophrenia can involve hearing voices or cognitive delusions, but that's pretty damn different.

I normally don't give a shit about MH misinformation, but with 30 years of mental health awareness in this world schizophrenics are still painted with the generic "crazy brush". The SMH is one of the biggest and most influential newspapers in Australia, for that to appear in a high profile editorial is most depressing.

Word. It's fucked how many people still fail to make the distinction, and a journalist should know better.
