I just received my The Great Gatsby OC and the outside seal was not there. Did the ABF unseal it or was there never a seal on the OC?

 

Note.. I don't open my premiums

I think the ABF opened it and inspected it.

 

A similar thing happened to one of my premiums a couple of years ago.

Oh man, one of those moments when you remember that Australia was populated by convicts.

 

Oh, it's populated by a lot more than that.

 

I'll give you the run down:

 

 

• Sydney is full of wankers (yours truly).
• Melbourne is full of hipsters.
• Brisbane is full of surfers and bogans (aka "rednecks")
• Darwin is full of crime.
• Perth and Adelaide are full of.....nothing much.
• And then there's Hobart.

That's pretty much all you need to know.

That’s awesome.  Of those groups, I too would probably join the wankers.
 

I watched Wake In Fright for the first time last year and it actually reminded me of places in Kentucky near where I grew up   

 

My other Australian faves:  The Proposition (love love love this movie) and Picnic at Hanging Rock.  I have the Criterion 4K of Walkabout in my pile of movies to watch, bought it a month or two ago, maybe I’ll pop it in tonight.

 

Any Australian movie recommendations?

You just helped me make sense of every Horrorshow lyric I've ever wondered about.

We now have at least an inch of snow, which is apocalyptic around here.  Everything’s cancelled!

Omg.. now look at THIS!

 

I've just noticed that the numbers are incorrect on my single editions. Check out my double lenti, it's 225/750.. not /400 like the other two. Is this a mistake from Blufans? I've never seen this before.

Not a mistake.   The DL is also available individually so a larger print run.

Breaker Morant (probably my favourite Aussie movie)

Romper Stomper

Muriel's Wedding

The Adventures of Priscilla: Queen of the Desert

The Castle (probably THE definitive Aussie movie)

Two Hands

Chopper 

Looking for Alibrandi

Lantana

Rabbit Proof Fence

 

These are some of the usual ones people are often introduced to.

 

If you're looking for something weirder or messed up; Bad Boy Bubby, Young Einstein, Reckless Kelly.

 

If you're looking for a good show, I'd highly recommend Mr. Inbetween.

Thanks!  I completely blanked on Breaker Morant, great movie.  I saw Young Einstein back when it was a hit but I was a kid and barely remember it.  I’ve seen Muriel’s Wedding; always wanted to see Romper Stomper and Chopper.  Have to add the rest to the list.

 

How is there not a great movie about Ned Kelly?  One or two decent ones, but not great.  Although I guess there wasn’t a great Jesse James movie until the Pitt/Andrew Dominik version (I realize most people don’t think it’s great, but I do).

That's true.

 

You have the 1970 movie with Mick Jagger playing Ned Kelly. That one is interesting. A few people had definitely taken some stuff before making that one.

 

Then you have the Heath Ledger version, which was fine.

Sharing an unsolicited photo of the Guinness beer bread I made last night. It was delightful, but should’ve made some beef stew to go with it. Anyway, that is all. Stay warm folks. Happy MLK Jr. day!

I probably need to revisit this first one, saw it when I was a kid, when I thought anything that old was hokey.  I don’t think I even knew about Return.

The director of both of those, David Michod, plays one of the characters in Mr. Inbetween.
