Die, Fluffy Wuffy, Die!
NOT MEANT TO BE TAKEN LITERALLY! If this blog is anything it's sit-down comedy. I don't break news stories. I rant, growl, quack on and joke about them. If you can't see where this blog is coming from you're an utter peckerhead.

Chloe Traicos, filmmaker and actress

Friday, 28 August 2009 2:41 P GMT+10
Here's some info about Chloe Traicos, a dynamic young woman working in the Australian arts field. I first met Chloe via the comedy scene in Perth about nine years ago. She was only nineteen or twenty then, yet she immediately impressed me with he

Sapphic cinema convention

Thursday, 21 May 2009 7:44 P GMT+10
Interesting how dykes in movies are almost always lipstick lesbians.  Have a look at this one, who happens to be a vampire to boot. She doesn't look remotely like ones I see on Enmore Road almost every day. 

Strife imitates art

Tuesday, 7 April 2009 12:27 P GMT+10
Hey, remember that champion Oz cult fillum Stone? In it, bikies were mysteriously dropping like flies and dropping off cliffs throughout Sydney.Kinda like nowadays, don't you think? The plods don't seem to be having much luck with their overt

Too much information

Friday, 27 March 2009 12:00 P GMT+10
A bloke called Chris Watt has made a doco about his failed relationships. Looking for clues as to why he's such a loser with the opposite sex he's inteviewed many of his old girlfriends.Can't see the point of this. Wouldn't private co

Sam Neill has a little wine

Saturday, 7 March 2009 12:23 P GMT+10
Sam Neill comes across as a right plonker in this interview about his new flick, Dean Spanley. He includes the mandatory swipe at Dubya, using that hackneyed observation that the War on Terror is a "war on an emotion".So dodgy. Any sensible

Wrestler nails it

Thursday, 15 January 2009 11:43 P GMT+10
Mickey Rourke is clearly a complicated fella with a whole host of inner demons. Has a lot to do with why he's so talented, probably. His heart is full of turmoil. But his head seems to be screwed on at least half right if these comments in defenc

Castaway casts net

Monday, 29 December 2008 12:36 P GMT+10
Back in 1986 Nicolas Roeg made a movie called Castaway about a wealthy Pom who puts an ad in the paper to find a woman to spend a year on a desert island with him. In late 2008 a cashed-up Aussie with his own desert island advertises on an internet d

Old shoe resoled

Tuesday, 16 December 2008 10:02 P GMT+10
The spooky parallels I wrote about last night are multiplying, people. Now, there's gonna be a protest outside the White House involving lots of deeply meaningful footwear. Bet this won't be the last, too!Sooo much like the movie, but with p

Luhrmann benefits from Garrett's sour notes

Sunday, 14 December 2008 3:27 P GMT+10
Earlier, I postulated a theory that a coupla recent and well-publicized art attacks had a deeply personal bent. Arts Minister Peter Garrett, being so conspicuously talentless as both dancer and singer, was waging an undeclared war on performers poss

Airheads for Australia!

Thursday, 4 December 2008 3:22 P GMT+10
Listening to talkback over the last day or so, I've heard quite a few callers giving their thoughts on the movie Australia. A trend has definitely emerged: Those who were critical gave quite thoughtful responses. They weren't your usual gulli

Australians review Australia review

Monday, 1 December 2008 1:46 P GMT+10
That unflattering review of the film Australia by Mark Naglazas has really hit a nerve. If this is an indication of our cultural identity, then we're less laconic and thick skinned than we thought. Seem to be quite a touchy bunch, actually. 

Moulin Rouge in the outback

Wednesday, 19 November 2008 11:43 P GMT+10
Considering how suspiciously positive many reviews of the epic movie Australia have been, it's refreshing to read an honest, highly critical one. As Mark Naglazas describes the movie, it sounds like Baz Lurhmann is up to his old tricks. Lots

Heat

Saturday, 27 September 2008 8:50 P GMT+10
Have been hitting the DVDs again. Watched Heat. Brilliant, atmospheric stuff. The diner scene with DeNiro and Pacino is just classic. (If you're gonna have a squizz, take a week off work. The movie's about sixteen hours long.)Interesting triv

Who's to blame for Bale's blow-up?

Friday, 25 July 2008 10:03 P GMT+10
This Christian Bale scandal has got me intrigued.I mean, immediately I heard about it I assumed he was the bad guy. But he does come from a very interesting family. You never know, coulda been all his mum's fault. Think I'm being too harsh? S

Dark Knight's dark night

Tuesday, 22 July 2008 8:36 P GMT+10
Seems that Batman actor Christian Bale went feral on his mum and sis. Clearly not a case of his recent role getting the better of him. In that case he'd be lockin' up brutes, not emulating them! Strange stuff going on in Hollywood, eh? So man

Stars and bars

Tuesday, 15 July 2008 12:47 P GMT+10
Earlier I wrote about how the names of the well known so often seem weirdly apposite.Kinda applies to the hot-tempered actor currently playing Dubya in an Oliver Stoned biopic. Nabbed drunk after a bar fight, he was heard to prote

James Bond's kitchen nightmare

Wednesday, 11 June 2008 2:01 P GMT+10
While filming the new James Bond flick at Pinewood Studios, star Daniel Craig sliced off the top of one of his fingers.Rumor has it that they had trouble finding the fingertip. But Gordon Ramsey, filming in an adjacent sudio, finally 'fessed up -

The Night of the Iguana

Tuesday, 10 June 2008 3:00 P GMT+10
Just another thought on this notorious "Night of the Iguana" in Gosford: If the scandal keeps developing, as I think it will, it's sure to get its own Wikipedia entry.  Could become confused with that champion p

Clint Eastwood remains unforgiven, in the line of fire

Wednesday, 21 May 2008 12:24 A GMT+10
Definition of artistic independence? Being able to annoy both liberals and conservatives in equal measure. Clint Eastwood definitely qualifies. The mere premise of his fillum Letters from Iwo Jima got right up the nostrils of spunky right-winger Debb

Thoughts on acting

Monday, 25 February 2008 9:47 P GMT+10
Just some more thoughts on acting, and why it's such a strange profession:In days of yore I was an actor myself.  (You may remember me from a scintillating cheese ad from the nineties.  Always rankles that I didn't get an Oscar for

Oscars, schmoscars

Monday, 25 February 2008 4:07 P GMT+10
Always amazes me how the luvvies can sustain the excitement about the Oscars.  I mean, acting is such a murky, indefinable skill.  (Well, it is once the proponent gets beyond the wooden stage and can actually emote in the moment.) 

Constellation chockas

Saturday, 26 January 2008 2:42 P GMT+10
Just a thought on why there seem to be so many famous people carking it of late:  It seems like some sort of weird epidemic, but I suspect it's just a function of our celeb-obsessed, media-saturated age.  What with pay TV and the i

Toxic Fox

Monday, 14 January 2008 2:06 P GMT+10
Residents near Fox Studios in Sydney are getting sick.  At least one doc reckons it's due to toxic chemicals produced by the film factory. I reckon he's half right.  The cause is not chemicals related to mov

The real dirt on Margaret Pomeranz

Thursday, 25 October 2007 2:20 P GMT+10
Just a quick thought on fluffy wuffy psychology:Last night I was watching At the Movies.  Right at the end, just after a scene from a quirky doco called The Real Dirt on Farmer John, Margaret Pomeranz sooked up.I thought this was quite bizarre -
