- Recently, while we were talking about the curious case of the Demolition Order placed on the little green Dry Cleaners in Cuba St, I took a visit up to Cuba (St) to take a photo and found something rather odd.

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 [...]

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.

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!

- 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?

Bye-bye, Wellywood sign
- The Wellingtonista
- Wellington Airport has actually listened to the massive public opposition to the Wellywood sign (and potential legal troubles from Hollywood) and have ditched the idea.

Wellywood Sign Generator
- The Wellingtonista
- The Wellywood sign madness/awesomeness continues! Aucklander Edward from has created the Wellywood Sign Generator. This is a crop of my attempt, where I have added a helpful "lol" to explain that the sign is a "send-up" and a "tongue-in-cheek play" on the Hollywood sign.

The new issue dividing our capital
- The Wellingtonista
- First it was "Bret or Jermaine?" then "Smash Malice or Brutal Paegent?" but now it's time for the really big decision - which Facebook group to join - "Hey, let's NOT have a 'Wellywood' sign in Wellington"or "A WELLYWOOD sign on the Miramar Cutting Hill is a STUPID idea"?

Hooray for Wellywood
- The Wellingtonista
