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!

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.

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
- Everyone knows that while Wellington has a world-class, award-winning film production industry, it's been sorely lacking one serious thing: a giant sign proclaiming WELLYWOOD.
