Alex Casey talks to the local crew on Evil Dead Rise about filming the most blood-soaked elevator ride in horror history in a dusty warehouse near Sylvia Park. The following story contains spoilers for Evil Dead Rise. Very quickly we realised we just needed to create it ourselves.”But there was, of course, one set piece which was even more integral to Evil Dead Rise: the elevator. But what he knows better than anyone is blood, supplying the red stuff to gory local productions including Spartacus and Evil Dead spin-off series Ash vs Evil Dead. But to make it on the scale required for Evil Dead Rise was “a difficult affair” he says.

To mark King Charles’ looming coronation New Zealand’s gift is to donate $1 million to Trees That Count - a plan for community groups to plant more than 100,000 native trees in his honour. But back in 1911- to mark the ascension of Charles’ great-grandfather King George V - our gift was worth its weight in gold. What became known as the ‘Roddy Nugget’ was officially unearthed on September 10, 1909 in Ross, a small goldmining town about 27km south of Hokitika. Sometime between 1911 and today the Roddy Nugget disappeared from Buckingham Palace. The accepted fate of New Zealand’s golden coronation gift is that it was melted down and turned into a tea set.

On a new episode of NZ media podcast The Fold, Duncan Greive speaks with Jo Norris, architect of the regional-first paywall sites launched by Stuff today. Given the challenges facing journalism – particularly regional journalism – in this era, I think you have to admire anyone who’s taking such a bold and differentiated swing. The Waikato Times outperforms the Herald and the Waikato market, because it produces content that’s relevant to Waikato people. How much consideration was given to putting a paywall around Stuff itself? And we continue to – we’ve been quite clear, we never say never around a paywall for Stuff, but it’s certainly not within our consideration at this point.

NZ Capitalism is a rigged so the rich effectively pay 9% tax while the rest of us pay 20%. Look beyond the rich and their rigged capitalism, look at the Landlord debate right now! You should be angry, NZ Capitalism is a rigged trick for the rich and powerful. Unfortunately woke middle class identity politics is too busy cancelling people for misusing pronouns to offer a challenge up to neoliberal hegemony. Put aside their alienating bullshit and a united front of citizens demanding the mega rich pay their fair share to the very society that built them their wealth is not socialism, it’s basic regulated capitalism!

After woke washing The Dominion Post, Stuff’s next move is to create woke paywalls for their woke social engineering journalism. Woke paywalls mean the rest of us can ignore them and allow the idea to die behind a paywall the way opinion does behind the NZ Herald paywall. I say let’s get all of those wokies at Stuff behind a paywall! I applaud Stuff going behind a paywall and beg then to put all their columnists behind it so Stuff can become as irrelevant as the NZ Herald’s Paywall opinion section.

In a way it will be a battle between premium (NZ Herald) and sub-premium (Stuff) content. Its digital subscriptions bring in 25-30 percent of the revenue of all its print newspaper subscriptions combined. And Stuff's press release on the new paywalls did not specify if people who are currently part of Stuff's membership donations scheme will get access to the gated content. His graphic above shows that March, in fact, saw the business' advertising revenue fall behind March 2022 by about 5 percent. That didn't stop the Herald headlining its coverage of the annual meeting with "NZME upbeat on advertising market".

Let me get this straight, we can’t fucking tax the greedy landlords whose interests have ruled NZ Politics AND National want to give them the legal right to be arsenal,es again. This sort of needles abuse of tenants is what led to the homelessness crises under National last time. Mark my words, if National get in, rents go up and landlords legally get to be arseholes again. So we can’t tax Landlord capital gains AND National will empower them to throw renters onto the street just to push up rentals?!? TDB Recommends NewzEngine.comThere is a class war happening in this country and because we are so intellectually weakened by identity politics, no one has the class vocabulary to actually call it for what it is!

She had two children – both now in their mid-30s – with Scott Simpson, who is the National MP for Coromandel. Then, after her re-election as councillor last year, the new guy, Wayne Brown, made her deputy mayor. In local paper snaps Simpson admires a worm farm, celebrates some new astroturf, poses near a twinkly-lit tree. (Photo: Bruce Mackay/Stuff)Given the praise heaped on Simpson for her subsequent performance as the public face of the floods, is Simpson going to run for mayor herself? There she is: the deputy mayor you’ll never see in a grey suit, walking very fast toward the Town Hall.
