But never seen in badass full flight like he is in Rogue One. That sequence alone made the movie.

Darth Vader stand alone film worthy.

What made it better was it was so unexpected.

Which is why Lucas making him into a whiny, sniveling, moaning, pathetic teenager in those new movies was a total disgrace.

And the transfer to 'badass' was that quick and disappointing, I knew what my missus feels like most nights

Why was the use of slate floors ever a thing in houses? ****ing hell it's the worst.

A sequel to Red Dog!! god we are a laughing stock

A sequel to Red Dog!! god we are a laughing stock

The best Australian movie in years took a drunk, racist, sexist, homophobic, who is stuck in the 70s, to come out here and make. The second best? A sequel to the movies that launched the first guy's career.

Australian cinema is really going places.

Nah there's no such thing as the best Australian movie it's all taste driven, Red Dog sequels highlight how low things are though.

Australia the movie remains the biggest piece of tosh in recent memory, I've seen many a shoestring budget film put garbage like that to shame.

Like mine? I didn't even have a shoestring, we were thongs!

It's funny that the biggest movies with a bit of action and excitement usually do well, but Australia always seems so geared toward dramas, nice comedies with a bit of Australian-ness, and the occasional arty type movie, that these films are the exception. Where is the Australian Die Hard for example? Who is going to finance it?

Wyrmwood is a is an example of one at a lower level, it wasn't that great but made waves worldwide.

It's almost like anything with a reasonable budget we balls up by going with a aussie schmaltz factor or overplay the outback diddleo to appeal to Americans.
I'm gonna go on a low budget aussie 80s n' 90s binge soon I bet i've overlooked some classics.

Yep, agree.

Razorback?

Razorback?

Razorback is on the re-watch list for sure I think there is two different cuts is that right?

Is there a better christmas song, I don't think so.

There is



Watch the whole clip

The media is all "CHINA IS COMING WORLD WAR 3 IMMINENT OH AND THE RUSSIANS OH GOD THE RUSSIANS!"

In my top 5 worst movies of all time. Absolute piece of utter steaming shite.

Best Australian movie of all time is Romper Stomper.

The previous bore-fest was pretty much saved by that 4 minutes. Was amazing. Goosebumps sort of stuff.

I've noticed the people that loved TFA weren't that keen on R1 and the people that didn't like TFA loved R1. Can't please everyone but the characters in R1 all felt the same and lacked charm to me. That dystopian mad max-ish dessert dwelling rebel lost it's appeal after an hour. The villains were lame too. It really lacked having an imposing presence of previous Star Wars flicks as Krennic was such a wimp.

If it wasn't for *that scene* the movie would've been a flop for me.

 

[Grave Danger]

I was watching some of the Just Shoot Me repeat-a-thon yesterday - George Segal's character wins a humanitarian award after writing a big check (as the Yanks would say) for his daughter's favourite charity and he immediately makes a boasting phone call to Donald Trump, "Hey Trump, I just got voted Humanitarian of the Year!", and gets the photographer to take a picture of his backside.

I imagine Donald Trump would recently have made a return phone call, "Hey Gallo, I just got voted Time Magazine Man of the Year!"

Raiders back in the Playoffs for the first time since 2002!! Yes baby!

 

[raman]

I've noticed the people that loved TFA weren't that keen on R1 and the people that didn't like TFA loved R1.

Nah I loved both.

 

[Dylan8]

I think they're both around the same mark for different reasons, can't really get why anyone would love one and not the other.
