Who's the next Aussie to make it big ...

Well time to place your bets!

We have a wide field of contenders to consider and odds on success ...

Our first actor out of the barrier is ....

Chris Hemsworth
You may not know the name, unless your a Star Trek fan, then you may recall he played Captain Kirks father in the opening scenes of the new Star Trek movie.

He has no less than 5 movies in the can already, including Joss Whedons next film "The Cabin In The Woods" and is next filming Marvels next comic adaptation Thor, playing the title character.

Odds : 10-1 A good chance
Kodi Smit-McPhee

This young kid last appeared along side Viggo Mortensen in "The Road" and in other Australian productions.

Not much on his plate at the moment, but he's young so maybe high school is his priority, Id say he's a long shot to hit it big at the moment but has a hell of alot of talent.

Odds : 20 - 1 Don't count on it just yet
Mia Wasikowska
At 20 years of age, she was on Variety's top 10 actors to watch. Cate Blanchett said shes a better actor than she was at the same age and she can also sing and dance.

Shes appearing in Tim Burtons Alice In Wonderland as Alice, and in Amelia, the biopic on Earhart alongside Hillary Swank & Ewan McGreggor.

Odds : 5 - 1 The favourite

Yvonne Strahovski

You might remember this hottie from the TV show Chuck, well now she has moved onto movies and has a few already in the bag.

The fact she landed in LA from Australia and landed a TV role in under 3 days shows shes either incredibly lucky or an incredible talent.

Odds : 10 - 1 The luck may continue

Ryan Kwanten
Well he plays a sex crazed moron on True Blood, and apparently all the girls swoon over this guy. He's a great actor however at the moment he's pigeon holed to True Blood.

Not much else on his plate, but he has the popularity for a network or casting agent to give him a boost.

Odds : 15 - 1

Abbie Cornish

Best known as the chick dating Ryan Phillippe, she does have impressive acting skills, enough for her to get a part in the next Zach Snyder production "Sucker Punch" shes also a diverse actor which bodes well for a hollywood career.
Odds : 10 - 1

So who's your pick ? Anyone's guess really, for all we know none of them will make it big, then again, all of them might. Time will tell ....

So they butchered Deadpool

I saw X Men Origins last week, and i cant hide my disappointment for a number of reasons.

Firstly one of my favourite characters in the x-men universe Deadpool has a story arc that's been completely turned on its head ....

He's known as the "merc with a mouth" so what do they do ? Sew his mouth shut ????

Laser eyes ? Adamantium swords ? Its as if the writers got together and wondered how they could make the bad guy any more lame ...

"I know, lets make him teleport around, heal, shoot lasers from his eyes, have no mouth, and have swords instead of hands!" <--- and these guys got paid to write this movie.


Epic fail .... How someone on the movie didn't put there hand up and say "wait a minute guys, what the hell are we doing ?" is beyond me.

The special effects are cheep, the love interest cant act and to top it all ... drum roll ... one mutant looks like a walking disco ball.

The only good thing about the whole film was Gambit, who ive liked from the 90's x-men cartoons i watched when i was little.

Give this one a miss if your a comic fan, those who are not and are looking for some popcorn action may like it tho.

Hopefully if Ryan Reynolds gets the green light for a Deadpool Origins film, they can redeem themselves because he did play the character well.

Celebrity Patty Flippers

Sometimes you see or hear a celebrity on TV or the Radio or someone prominant in society and you just wish that they were never found, that they were flipping patties in a burger joint somewhere rather than on your tv screen or your newspaper.

So ive decided to name my first patty flipper ...

Patty Flipper #1 :North Korea & Iran

Apparently you can get away with anything so long as you re-badge it ...

Like sending a rocket across Japanese waters badged as a Satellite. Maybe i should build my own rocket, badge it with a FOX logo on the side, and i wont have a problem.


Ive only selected one today, but there are hundreds of potential patty flippers out there, i didn't go with any obvious ones like Eminem did in his new video clip, but more flippers will come sometime soon when i can be bothered adding another post on the topic.

How to catch a lion ...

After hearing about the Zoo that shot dead a lion who escaped from its enclosure even tho nobody was outside in the zoo at the time, i decided to run off a list of other alternatives in case any other zoo animal decides to go for a walk ....

Option A :

Ring a bell, and call its name, it works for my cat so why not a larger version!

Option B :

Take a zebra from a neighbouring enclosure and tie a rope around it, hoist it up into a tree and wait for the lion to come over. Once focused on the zebra, have someone sneak up from behind with a net ....

Note: If live zebra is not available, a zebra costume and two midgets will suffice ....

Option C :

Release Hyena's to eat the lion (they can, ive seen it on The Lion King)
Release a wild boar to eat the hyena's
Release a bear to eat the wild boar
Place a picnic basket in the bears cage to lure him in (Refer to any Yogi Bear Episode)

All seem a lot better than just shooting the lion ....
