90's Flashback

I was born in 82, and as a result most of the tunes that are the soundtrack to my life have come from the 90's and this one featured prominently while i was in High School just as portable CD players were the in thing .... i was in Big W over the weekend looking for a Batman animated two face figurine* and this song was on over the PA System!




*Didn't find two face but walking out of the place i caught an R2D2 T Shirt out of the corner of my eye and just had to buy it which proved to be the best decision ever considering the 1st day i wore it i got a comment from the young girl in the local bakery while purchasing muffins ...

Simon Baker Update

I was reading up on his new film and stumbled upon an interview he did here in Australia about The Devil Wears Prada ....

Asked why he chose the role that's an ass of a character he replied with the following

"I'm uncannily bad at choosing films, generally. I'm going to give my daughter credit for that. She was 11 at the time. She asked me one day, bored out of her mind, she said, "Have you got any scripts that I can read?" And I said,"Sure, there's one here called The Devil Wears Prada."

She goes, "The Devil Wears Prada, I've heard about that book. I'll read that." She read it in record time. She came back and said, "Well, Dad, you know what, the character's a bit of a dick, but I really think you should do it."

I said, "Why is that?" She said, "Because all my friends are going to see it. We can all go and see it. It will be cool because I'm sick of going to see movies where you die or you're having sex with someone. So please, Dad, do this one." That was kind of pretty much it....."

Don't ask me why an 11 year old had heard of the devil wears prada, maybe its an LA Thing ???

Baker & fellow Aussie Spencer catch up ...

Baker : I want that glass of water Spencer ...

Spencer : This glass ? Back off or ill bring on all kinds of pain!

Sam Worthington - Next big thing ?

Well i for one am eagerly waiting the film the man below is set to appear in soon which will be coming out next year The Last Man (may change title), its currently in pre-production.

Whats it about ?

A five-man team of Australian special forces troops are stuck behind enemy lines in the waning days of the Vietnam war, and with a cast list with Simon Baker along side Guy Pearce, Sam Worthington, Martin Henderson, Joel Edgerton, David Wenham & Vince Colossimo its looking good. Other cast are yet to be announced but expect more big names.

My hit sniffing abilities are flaring up on this one people!

If you don't know Sam Worthington now, wait a year and then you will, apparently he's the next Aussie to make the big time and hit the mother load in the good old US of A ....

Bale: "I get paid more than you!"
Wortho: "Ask me again in a year bitch!"

He already has James Cameron's Avatar and McG's Terminator film with Christian Bale under his belt ... He missed out on the James Bond role to Daniel Craig by a whisker, so close was it, he even filmed scenes for the producers.

Of course he has been acting for some time and has appeared in loads of films and tv shows in Australia, so good luck to the guy.

Of course if he happens to tank in Hollywood i shall eat my humble pie ....

Something tells me that he wont tho when he has James Cameron singing his praises and pimping him out to other directors.

If you want to see any of his recent work, rent Rogue the crocodile movie he made with Michael Vartan in it which i thought was quite a good Aussie film. Its no Wolf Creek but i didn't like that film anyway.

Paul Hogan did his best to portray Crocodiles as lazy buggers who never get the guy in Crocodile Dundee but its much more fun when they do get there man ....

Conspiracy Theory #2 The Fox News Theory

Theory number two in my long list of conspiracy theories involves Fox News this time around ...

My theory is that Fox News anchor Bill O'Riley is actually a jaded man who's former lady love was a Democrat ... as a result he has vowed to spend the rest of his un-natural born life baying for blue blood ....

It does make sense ... no logical man could hate the blue half of America this much without there being some past incident at work!

Does he drive a red car ? Ever seen him wear a blue tie ? My theory has merit ...

Fox News Theory 2.1

Megan Kelly may be a fantastic journalist however most males probably stick the TV on mute while she is on and admire what she realy does best ... BBC news may be informative but id rather keep informed on Megan's daily wardrobe foremost. Megan your asset's are an asset to Fox ...

Miss Banderas you saucy minx dont feel left out, you too are a pleasure to watch ... on mute ...

Bolton FC Update #2

Bannish Tottenham into Championship oblivion ...

Summer Heights High

I just read that Summer Heights High is actually going to get an airing on American Tv Channel HBO next month.

The show is fantastic and if Flight Of The Conchords can get a run, Summer Heights High sure as hell can ... Not sure if Americans will get the Australian humor tho.

So in commemoration of this momentous occasion I've decided to post a video from the show.

Kate Mille Heidke's Cute Trippy Song ...
