2,000 hamsters can't be wrong.

A Few Notes 

I agree with this film critic in that Geoffrey Rush seems to be doing his well-known Javert routine when appearing in Ned Kelly. But what a wonderful reprise, especially since Rush's Javert is so...uhmm...brilliant.

This is just typical Hollywood: At last, the region 1 release of Brides of Christ is here, but look at the front cover of that one - it says "Brenda Fricker, Naomi Watts and Russell Crowe". You twats! Russell "I'm so aware of my incredible sexiness that I sometimes make people gag" Crowe is only appearing in one of the six episodes! The protagonists are played by Josephine Byrnes, Lisa Hensley, Sandy Gore, Brenda Fricker, Naomi Watts, Kym Wilson and Pat Bishop. And no, Mr. Crowe is not dressed as a ship's commander at any point during that episode, nor is he dressed as a gladiator. I know they're doing this to sell more copies, I'm not stupid, it's just very, very annoying that they do that at all. It's like the rest of us, who know a few more actors by name than just the top-billed Hollywood ones, don't count. Well, get this: You wouldn't have sold half the copies you're selling without any really good actors and their devoted fans. We may appear to be just a few, but there's a whole army of us out there and we've got money.

Yay! Speaking of supporting actors that could very well be given a chance at the helm of a film at any time soon, please, Chris Cooper is being honoured at the San Francisco Film Festival next month, alongside Milos Forman. The only question is; did this come as a result of Cooper's recent awards, or did they actually manage to conjure up this great idea by themselves?

Snippet from The Australian - "In fact, so cramped are the facilities at the theatre in inner-city Belvoir Street that David Wenham and Richard Roxburgh have been forced to use toothbrushes to rehearse a sword fight from Hamlet" - about the Australian Company B theatre.

Current track: Nothing
