Mein lieber Scholli! Du hast Holger in ein Eichhörnchen verwandelt!

Zu dem Zeitpunkt wird Großmeister Holger bereits auf die dunkle Seite gewechselt haben, weil er so lange warten musste.

Wie fühlst du dich heute, Grand Master Holger?

@Cornbuster Congratulations, mate!

Es passiert!

Hast du irgendwelche Beauty Shots für 'The German Job'?

While I thought Caleb Landry Jones' performance was good, the movie itself was okay. I didn't love it. The movie was met with backlash as it's about the real-life shooter responsible for one of the worst massacres/shootings in Australian history - the 1996 Port Arthur Massacre. The local residents of the area where these events took place protested against the filmmakers shooting there, so they had to film it elsewhere. While I'm not against movies showing how these criminals are driven to such acts, and the issues of mental-health, gun-control, etc. I think there's a fine line between trying to be objective and filmmakers going out of their way to humanise them and paint them purely as victims without any agency, especially at the expense of the real victims affected by this tragedy. For example, this real killer, Martin Bryant, was known to have violent, psychopathic tendencies growing up such as harming animals, etc. But the movie shies away from this. It picks and chooses what to show and takes creative licences to try and make him out to be more of a victim than I think he was.

Ich war beeindruckt von seiner Leistung in "Nitram". Er spielte einen echten Schützen und schaffte es, einen ländlichen australischen Akzent genau nachzuahmen. Für einen Amerikaner ist es sehr schwer, einen solchen Akzent hinzubekommen, aber er hat es brillant gemacht. Ich war überzeugt, dass er ein Australier war.

I honestly wouldn't be surprised if the whole thing was part of their marketing ploy, especially if it'll save them a couple of bucks. Reminds me a bit of the buzz and articles surrounding the release of Joker. People were worried the movie would be controversial and encourage/incite school shooters. If that was part of their marketing, it definitely worked. 😅 It still surprises me how much that movie made against its budget.

I'm really sorry to hear that Lindy. I hope she's okay.

This is one of many reasons why I took a liking to MP when it came to the world of movies (or "film" for the snobs 😁) and physical media.
