Where's the rest of this? by The Handsome 12th Doctor	Jun 20th, 2008 10:30:10 AM
Has some of this article been lost? Judging by the heading there was supposed to be a Kung Fu Panda review there. Plus the lack of his corny-but-great "Next week" gags at the end makes me thing something has gone cactus.

Australia starts to wise up to genre films by quantize	Jun 20th, 2008 09:10:24 PM
only about 50 years too late.. anyhow, enough of this hackneyed belly button staring Aussie Drama and more Rogue's & Proposition's please. That's what we fucking need, less Baby Boomer BULLSHIT.
If we all stop talking about Uwe Boll... by The Grug	Jun 20th, 2008 09:10:25 PM
He'll just fade away, there's no need to mention him all the time - he's rubbish, but until he stops getting press mentions he's not going to go away entirely. Please people, please

Not Quite Hollywood by Kehleyr	Jul 15th, 2008 11:04:54 PM
Seen it. Since I have the privilege of objectivity (having being born after the film's subject matter), I can honestly say it's mostly wanking, since: 1. It's made with all the rebellion and abandon of an invalid. Talking heads, wow. 2. It features Tarantino constantly saying how much Australian movies "rock". By the end of the film it's clear that there is apparently nothing that doesn't rock Tarantino's world, and that our craving for American approval is alive and pathetic. 3. It barely touches on the culture that actually produced these films, except fleetingly at the start when Barry Humpheries explains that he's always hated bogans. So relevance to people with no memory of the period is minimal. 4. It suggests that "Saw" is somehow a return to form for Australian genre film. What? Not saying that every copy of this film should be shot into the sun -- just honestly don't see how it warranted a theatrical release. But hey, what do I know.
