JCC Dear Jabba-wocky,

the utterly mediocre one with rachel mcaddams. watch the korean movie they "based" it on (A Tale of Two Sisters) instead. its vastly superior

 

This one, Frieda. Rogue is always bitter that they simplified the narrative, which they undeniably did. However, in doing so they strengthened the story and heightened its impact, creating a unique and worthwhile product.

Ender:: Of course I knew it was Australian. Where did you get the impression I am opposed to Australian things? Even if I were, such a petty bias couldn't keep me from admitting how excellent this movie is. It really is the best.

 

Okay, Rabbit Proof Fence is an astoundingly great movie. I'm serious. It's got two of the best juvenile performances I've ever seen.

 

gonna try and con a woman into watching tale of two sisters with me next week. been too long since ive seen it and its currently on netflix instant for my viewing pleasure

 

YOU ARE A FALSE PROPHET AND GOD IS A SUPERSTITION!

 

pictured: me explaining to wocky why a tale of two sisters is a better movie than the uninvited

 

I have to agree with J-w. It is a terrible boring movie. Well, not terrible. But definitely boring.

 

I would also like to point out that it's not like I got progressively further with each viewing or anything. Every single one of the four times I had fallen asleep within the first hour of the film. Point Given, I only fall asleep when movies have long uninteresting stretches, like the LOTR films or You Will Be Bored.

 

No, it's just we largely make gobsmackingly terrible films so I expect people assume all Australian films are gritty urban dramas, about the gritty drama of urban life, and give them a wide berth. Whilst Rabbit Proof Fence is both an exception to this rule, and an important film in documenting our genocidal past, I could not blame anyone for avoiding it based on the aforementioned facts about our films.

 

what is? a tale of two sisters or there will be blood? BE SPECIFIC

 

i tried to watch underbelly cuz it was being billed to me as "THE WIRE in australia" and then... yeah it was ****

i suspect your people's greatest contribution to the televised arts was FarScape

 

The Proposition was okay. But yeah I'm a little shocked Wocky likes a legit great film like Rabbit Proof Fence.

 

Will Smith must have an uncredited cameo.

 

im more shocked that he left out, (so far) the film where smith displays the greatest acting chops: I Am Legend

 

I heavily debated included I Am Legend, and Ali. The Hurricane was also a consideration. Ultimately, though, I wanted a more broadly representative sample, and I wanted to highlight films I liked a great deal, not merely those that were very enjoyable on the occasions I saw them.

 

You should see Attack of the Killer Tomatoes and it's 3 sequels.

 

What is your opinion on the Will Smith classic song "Gettin Jiggy Wit' It"?

 

It, along with Wild Wild West, is one of the best pop music songs produced in recent memory.

 

You do know it's Denzel in that one not Will. Jeez, they don't all look the same.

 

WHATCHU MEAN "YOU PEOPLE"?!

 

You definitely are living in the past if you think those songs are "recent."

 

Wait, I, Robot?

Seriously?


....


Seriously?

 

It does have his best "Oh, hell no."
