Yesterday I saw again the Australian film "Mental" 2012.

Image

In The film, tells the protagonist, that all the people crazy of the world sent them far.
Far it was Australia. Thus, all Australians are crazy.

Here we say that they are stronger and taller because they are mixing the braver settlers with pressoners larger, stronger and violent of British prison of the past.

Which of both is true? :wink:

Lived here all my life.
Never did me any harm. :T :T :T :T :lol:


Must keep a lookout for "Mental".
If it's as good as "Muriel's Wedding" it'll be excellent. *:)*

Neither.
Aussies are far more likely these days to be descended from British factory workers, Italian farmers or Chinese labourers of the 1950's, than from the last of the convicts sent here in the 1840's.
Mind you, the myth is still alive. *:)* :lol:

Went to the cinema (first time in about three months) to see Kingsmen: The Secret Service today. Colin Firth stars in this amusing British comic-book spy movie that functions rather well as an OTT homage to oldskool James Bond movies (particularly of the Moore vintage), complete with complete loony megalomaniac super-villain in the form of a philanthropist computer guru (Samuel L Jackson clearly having a whale of a time) who's planning to knock off most of the human population to preserve the world solely for his chosen elite (more than a few shades of Moonraker there). All in all, this was pretty good fun that I enjoyed quite a bit. :D

Odd Thomas. Starring Anton Yelchin and Willem Dafoe, this supernatural thriller, with shades of The Frighteners and Dead Like Me, based on the novel by Dean Koontz, focuses on a seemingly ordinary young man in a sleepy little town who has the power to see dead people - and to sometimes be aware that bad things are going to happen. He keeps his head down with the help of his supportive girlfriend, and the local Police Chief who's quite happy to make use of this gift - but what he's sensing now is telling him that someone is planning to make his sleepy little town into a slaughterhouse... This was a really enjoyable film that was much better than I was expecting and had a real oldskool vibe to it too. Very well done, I really liked that.

I like the Vincent Price version better. :wink:

The Boys from Brazil. A young man (Steve Guttenberg!) following a group of Nazis in Paraguay, including several wanted war criminals, uncovers a bizarre plot by the notorious Dr Josef Mengele (Gregory Peck) to murder 94 insignificant 65-year old men all over the world. He is murdered, but not before passing the info onto an ageing Nazi hunter (Laurence Olivier), whose investigations uncover a horrifying science experiment... This was a pretty damn good late 70s thriller with an excellent cast, chilling premise and brutal climax.

IIRC Mr. Peck was particularly scary as Mengele, subverting his Gregory Peck good-guy public image to tremendous effect.

...sheep farmers called Bruce.

I saw it on Monty Python, so it must be true.
