More Wellywood updates…
- WCC Watch
- A few quick updates on the Wellywood issue… Quite a few people are asking about legal issues around a high court challenge.

Well, we would
- Eye of the Fish
- It seems almost inevitable that if this Wellywood sign goes ahead (all perfectly legal, the bloke from the Council tells me), then it is going to get some “special treatment” metered out in due course. And because we are such a creative lot in Wellington, and because the interwebs is here, let’s see how good [...]

Wellywoodgate: Celia – where for art thou?
- WCC Watch
- More on Celia vs Wellywood, this time straight from the Wellingtonista… As a side note, it’s particularly distressing to see Celia Wade-Brown admitting her total powerlessness: Wellington Mayor Celia Wade-Brown said yesterday that she did not support a sign of any kind.

Wellywoodgate: Where is the Mayor?
- WCC Watch
- Given that the Wellywood sign, which has thousands and thousands of Wellingtonians up in arms, is being put up by a company which is 34% owned by the council, and requires a resource consent from the council, you’d have thought that the Mayor would be showing a bit of leadership on the issue.

Wellywood Sign Song
- The Wellingtonista
- Comedian Robbie Ellis – who you may remember for his show-stopping performance of Manners Mall Emo Song (Buslane Through My Heart) at the 2009 TAWAs – has a new video. In reaction to the hugely unpopular plan by Wellington Airport to erect a “WELLYWOOD” sign, Robbie has put his feelings into song. Sing along!

Wellywood Sign Is A Joke

Has the airport company lost the plot?
- Bryan Pepperell - Back To The Future
- SAY NO TO WELLYWOOD SIGNOur brand as the creative centre of New Zealand is in the process of being downgraded. To even have a lengthy public debate is corrosive. Adopting this tacky imitation makes us look deeply shallow and builds a perception that will leave a sense of discomfort for many years to come. We are so much better than this.

Out with wellywood sign
- Bryan Pepperell - Back To The Future
- WELLYWOOD SIGN MUST NOT GO UP SAYS BRYAN PEPPERELL- Wellington City Council's rep on the Airport company is Deputy Mayor Ian McKinnon and for his representation on behalf of the ratepayers he receives an extra $40,000. If Cr McKinnon cannot put up a good argument opposing such tasteless negative branding he really should resign from the airport company.

Oh god no
- The Wellingtonista
- Remember when Wellington Airport, after the howls of protest and outright mockery, backed off on its cringe-inducing Wellywood sign idea and promised to go away and think of something better to celebrate our film industry? Well, they’ve had a good, long think about it, and this morning’s paper announces that they’ve come up with a brilliant idea: A Wellywood sign.
