The Age List

The Age printed out a list last Friday the 12 of Oct
of who the movers and shakers are inthe Australian
film industry.

It went into great detail about how they judged
this, except for where they got the orginial 400
names from.

The very first thing they said was that it was based
on films released from Jan 2010 to Oct 2012.

So it floored me when the very first comment about the
list was some idiot who said that Hugh Weaving should
be on the list as the matrix films did so well!!

Not only that but the next two people who commented
also agreed with the first comment.

When I read these articles the very first thing I do
is try to find out what criteria they are judging
the list on. Don't other people do the same? or are
these the people who try to put things together without
reading the instructions???

"Men In Black III"

Liked this as did I did One and Two. But unlike the
first two, this movie deals with a threat in time
not with an alien threat of invasion.

My only problem with this movie was as K was killed
40 years before then WHO recruited J to the MIB in
the new time line??

Other than that SMALL problem I really liked the story
line.

Now I have never heard of numbers 2,3,4,11,13
21,22,25,26,31 nor 32. That is 11 out of 34.
Again that is pretty poor!

As fo the rest:-
I watched "ER" till it finished though I might
have missed a few episodes. I did enjoy it.

Watched about two episodes of "Secret Life of Us"
but it was not for me.

Never got into "24"

Watched two or three episodes of "modern Family"
and thought it stupid!

Watched "Roseanne" till the end. Loved this as
it was about the first show to really protray family
as it really is!

Loved "Wonder Years" pity they cut it before it
really finished.

"Mr. Bean" is an acquired taste and though I have
watched two or three episodes and thought they were
OK, the show on the whole it is not my taste.

"The Good Wife" watched this till almost the end of
the first season, but I got tired of the wife's character!

"Sex and the City" I did not discover this till the
third seasion but loved watching it. A show were the
four main characters are all women. Brillant!

"Downton Abby" have watched season one and waiting to
see season two. When will that BE? Cliff and I both
enjoyed it.

"Brides of Christ" have a vague memory of this so
couldn't have been that impressed by it.

"Kath and Kim" one of the few shows that both Cliff and I
enjoyed.

"The Shield" I started watching this because I had liked
Michael Chiklis in "The Commish" but I did not his role in
"The Shield". Watched three episodes and could not bear to
watch any more. He was so different I couldn't stand it.

"Thirtysomething" felt it was a poorer copy of "Friends."

"Underbelly" "The Late Show" "Survivor" "Freaks and Geeks"
"The Panal" "the Chaser's War On Everything" "Sons of Anarchy"
and "Seachange" all fall into the same boat. If someone was
willing to pay me $1,000,000 I would be prepared to watch ONE
episode of any ONE of these. Money up front PLEASE.
