This is not my beautiful wife...

There's a song I liked (and it was one of the first videos on MTV when they only had 5 or so. ) And this keeps comin up, but I didn't really "get" the song then. Years later when I got a life and family of my own, it all made sense.

The film of Stop Making Sense is great, I think.

Cel, I watched Woot Woot. In the first 15 minutes, I was sure I wasn't going to like it, but it's gentle quirkiness started to grow on me.

Click to reveal..
I liked a lot of it, and it definitely felt Australian, not going out of it's way to overtell the story, and not afraid to take it slow, and show their lives more than tell a straightforward story. I also liked that no New York goons came to track him down, which would be a foregone conclusion in an American movie. I found the ending very unsatisfying though. They briefly mention that mystic Kangaroo, to set it up for later when he seems to save the protagonists. But I wasn't into the chase scene anyway, and the Kangaroo was very forced. I think they would have had a better movie doing something more with the subplot of the higher up men hoarding goods and watching broadcast TV and the fact and whether or not his the shotgun wife (forgot her name) was pregnant. Ah well. smile

The title is "Welcome To Woop Woop"...
and I asked Treebeard when we first met 12 years ago,
Had he ever seen it, to which he replied, "'SEEN IT'?!?
I LIVE in Woop Woop, & Out Passed the Black Stump!" shocked

I later found that Woop-Woop is Aussie for Middle of Nowhere.

Didn't need any more delving into than the asbestos
mine that was killing Ol' Ginger ("s'cuse the breezes")
all that was needed was to touch lightly upon each component
rather than laboriously grinding 'em into the ground,
...without furthering the story.

If you'd watched The CREDITS you would have seen
the answer to your last question. wink
..also that in "Meatworldia"; Ginger & Daddy-O
(Maggie Kirkpatrick & Rod Taylor) were actually man & spouse.

I did watch til after the credits. I always check these days. Yes, he had kids supposedly, but again, I didn't find that so satisfying. Still glad I watched it though.

We've probably done this one, but anyone seen Muriel's Wedding? It's another Australian gem, the movie that helped make Toni Colette famous outside of Australia. I love the stuffings out of that one. Seen it 5 or 6 times.

Picnic at Hanging Rock--I remember seeing it in the Orson Welles, down Mass Ave a bit from Harvard Square. I don't want to repeat the experience! And then there was Derzu Uzala, which took something like 30 minutes to allow the audience to contemplate the landscape of the Asian steppes. And that was like nothing in comparison to the hours that I spent watching Aguirre watch a river flow by in Aguirre the Wrath of God.

The best part of Picnic at Hanging Rock was when someone in the audience broke out in gales of laughter as one of the characters peeled and then ate a banana. smile

Jimmy Stewart one great actor that in today's films no one can even come close to.
