http://www.smh.com.au/news/national/pm-attacks-drug-users/2007/11/18/1195321590798.html Howard's announcing some divisive policy to make anyone who opposes look weak? Must be the eve of an election.

Hm, I like Rebecca. For a modern romantic comedy, When Harry Met Sally is the one that does it most for me. Though I hear some people call it Woody Allen-lite (which isn't entirely incorrect, and also Woody Allen's movies should be included on this list), I do love it dearly anyway.

It should be, but so should solar and wind etc, which have been pretty well ignored for the past twelve years. Annabel Crabb's and Mike Carlton's columns in today's Herald has some interesting quotes from 1997 when the Kyoto Protocol was signed. From the Prime Minister: "It's an outcome...

It's imposing a ban on refugees from an entire area, and that in itself is a problem. No, we aren't required for our own survival to do this, but given the human rights ethics of the situation we are entitled to? In America it is written "Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses...

I'm not too keen on Antonioni, only a few of his movies really do anything for me. However, it was strange that, upon hearing the news of Bergman in the morning, I thought afterwards "Antonioni's still kicking, is he going to live forever" yet news of his death bookended my night. Yes...

No, he actually continued working until 2003, releasing Saraband. It was on SBS a few weeks ago and really was excellent, especially when you consider its director was 85.

He lived an incredibly long life, but it doesn't soften the blow any. Undoubtedly one of cinema's finest.

Banning pornography is stupid. Some white folk are alcoholics (I'd say more drink alcohol than watch porn, and certainly more violence can be linked to alcohol than porn), but I don't hear them saying we should ban alcohol across Australia. And do you honestly think someone who looks at porn...

Chances are most, if not all, involved could speak English though. Fuck Arnold. Seriously, if the option came to have some replace him for the Asia Cup, even now at this stage, I'd consider taking it up. One forward worked in the World Cup against strong teams. That lineup doesn't work...

Amazing that you've seen it given it's only had one screening so far. How did you manage to get to that event!? After Hot Fuzz, Zodiac would be my pick for best movie of the year so far (though I, too, missed Lives of Others, sadly). Anyway, saw Transformers today. I mostly enjoyed it...

Maybe, but that doesn't make this a religious state. There is nothing that says the Prime Minister has to be Christian - in fact, Latham was agnostic (and I think Gillard may be also? She's very private though, so who knows). Given 60-something% of Australians are Christians, it is a fair...

I see no problem with it. He's our future head of state anyway. Most of our Governor Generals have been British.

Strangely, of Bay's films, I've seen all bar Bad Boys 2. I downright can't stand Pearl Harbor and Armageddon and barely tolerate Bad Boys and The Island. The Rock seems to get a fair bit of love, but I don't get it - maybe because it's the best movie Sean Connery's made after his awesome period...

When Karl Marx throws you out of the left you know you have no leg to stand on! Also:

John Curtin would be the best. After him would be Andrew Fisher, Ben Chifley, Robert Menzies (the second time), Gough Whitlam and Paul Keating.

I don't like it. After eleven years as Prime Minister, Howard has suddenly discovered that things are fucked with the Aboriginals, just months out from his closest federal election ever? And really, what's going to happen? If someone's seen drinking alcohol or watching pornography, are we...

Jesus, did anyone here actually watch that movie? I'm not one to complain about movies being talky, I mean, Bergman's my favourite living director, but nothing happened! In the first two hours, there was the one action scene at the beginning and then nothing of note again until the battle at...

Death stings plenty where I live.

Re: 2007 Federal Election - Coalition or Labor/Howard or Beazley? Those who possess the drug would no longer be seen as being criminals, so yeah, I'd say that would change some things. Also, it would mean that there could be a more solid guarantee of the quality of the drug (and not just...

Hell, the last case of the death penalty being utilised in this country was on a man who today we believe was probably innocent.
