This tiled mural covers the walls under the King William Street bridge over the River Torrens, in Adelaide. The designs were done with indigenous aboriginal artists, carrying motifs relating to the river.

A large central title (not shown here) states: “You are standing on Kaurna land”, referring to the traditional owners (from whom we stole the land.)

Clues below the cut.

• Each movie was released in 2015.
• Each movie was directed by a director (a different one in each case) some of whose previous work I loved.
• Each movie managed to break more or less even in terms of production budget vs. world box office, which is to say, each was basically a failure in Hollywood terms.
• Movie #1 was a big-budget sci fi movie. I turned it off after 20 minutes because it wasn’t working for me. It seemed really heavy-handed and explain-y, and kind of aimless in terms of plot. I wanted to like it, but I realized after that 20 minutes that I just didn’t care, and since I didn’t expect it to get any better I gave up.
• I think Movie #1 suffered somewhat because of my love of Mad Max: Fury Road. Both Movie #1 and Fury Road deal thematically with the future, but the dystopian future of Fury Road feels much more hopeful to me than the ostensibly optimistic preachiness I was getting from the first 20 minutes of Movie #1.
• I blame the writing of Movie #1. I don’t think its main writer (or the person I presume was the main writer; the one who shared screenplay credit with the director) actually knows how to write effective drama. He’s a big name, coming more from the world of TV, but neither his big TV shows nor the (quite successful) movies he’s written have done much for me. I don’t know; maybe I’m prejudiced by being an anti-fan of his previous work.
• Movie #2 was a low-to-mid-budget romantic comedy. It had a cast of big stars, most of whom I’ve liked in other films. I watched it all the way to the end, even though it felt wildly unbelievable in places and had some plot elements that made little sense.
• There were moments that were so good, though, with really touching acting. In that sense, Movie #2 reminded me a lot of its writer-director’s previous movie, which also went conceptually off the rails in places, but also had some individual scenes I found emotionally effective. (By which I mean, they made me cry. But I cry at movies pretty easily.)
• I liked Movie #2 enough to look up what Tumblr thought of it after I watched it, which reminded me of something I’d previously heard but then forgotten: An element of Tumblr hated it even before it came out based on a particular piece of casting that was perceived as whitewashing.

First person to correctly identify both movies gets a prize. Hm… A commissioned gifset of the movie/TV show/theme of your choice! Plus honor and glory! Good luck!
