Re: 2007 Federal Election - Coalition or Labor/Howard or Beazley? Dumb. We're not talking about murder, we're talking about taking ice. Yes, it's a bad drug, hence why we should legalise it. Addiction's an illness, not a crime.

Re: 2007 Federal Election - Coalition or Labor/Howard or Beazley? Well people certainly don't take it at all while it's illegal!

Each episode has two of its three panelists from Fairfax, one of them often Piers Akerman, and you say it's "almost right-leaning"??

Yes, I too wish for the grand old days with the great standard of living the 1800s offered us.

I've worked as a driver for the past six months now, and can say it's an awful job which I wouldn't recommend to anyone. The (God-awful) pay vs the cost of petrol alone makes the job pretty much unworthwhile. While there is a work car, they hired several drivers unable (or unwilling) to use...

Touch of Evil.

Agreed, his films are fairly common, but I'd still love to see The Man Who Would Be King on the big screen. Plus I've never seen Fat City, so might give that a watch. And yeah, Inland Empire and Rescue Dawn should be worth seeing. Isn't IE released in cinemas before then, though?

You're not going to go to any of the Huston films?

But ANZAC Day is also our day to honour our relationship with New Zealand, our closest ally. The fact that we've altered the meaning of ANZAC Day purely to represent our own nationalism is an insult to the New Zealanders, who still celebrate the day as signifying their unity with Australia,as...

I didn't bother checking the lineup, because I figured it'd be the typical bullshit one could expect. And, really, it mostly is, however The Hold Steady!!!! I didn't know about their touring last year until I read a review about their gig, so am definitely going to have to catch them this...

I went into this fairly sceptical, truth be told, but found it fairly enjoyable. I could point out a huge amount of things about it which were just outright weird (the live action version of the Team America sex scene, the fucking goat playing the lute, Xerxes being 9' tall), but it didn't...

A hard one to choose. Miller's Crossing, perhaps? I do like that film very much.

I very much want to see this. Will hopefully catch it at some stage over the long weekend, if not then hopefully in the weekend or two afterwards. Sounds excellent.

Come now. While Labor certainly had more paid advertising, the Liberals did pretty nicely in terms of free advertising from the media.

Letters from Iwo Jima. I really liked it a lot. Eastwood has managed probably the best older age directorial peak I've ever seen. While I wouldn't rate it over Million Dollar Baby (or Unforgiven, or maybe not even The Outlaw Josey Wales), it's still an incredible film and a great achievement...

Mirren was pretty smoking - 60 going on 40. After Blanchett, Winslet and Foster, she'd get my pick for most attractive woman who I saw there. She looked amazing. Oh, and I think the Coens got an Oscar for Screenplay for Fargo, but given nobody counts Kubrick's Special Effects Oscar I...

Ellen was better than I thought she'd be, but her dancing really did piss me off. Why must she do that so? Pretty predictable, really, I thought. Now everyone can quite whining about how Scorsese's never won, thank God, and will probably turn to Tarantino or Coen or somebody like that next.

They will be occurring our time Monday morning, yes, but the telecast won't be until tomorrow night (not Tuesday night). I was thinking of organising a party, but couldn't be fucked, and am instead just going to have Veal Oscar for dinner.

Clearly.

I disagree with you on this - I thought the acting from Dench and Blanchett was excellent (though didn't much like that scene of Blanchett's you exemplified as being fantastic in the spoiler tags), but found the supporting cast to be lacking, for the most. I thought Nighy was doing well, but...
