And of course it was a Peter Jackson movie. In the same vein check out his first commercial movie "Bad Taste" financed entirely on his and friends credit cards.It took 4 years to complete (mostly weekends) and stared Peter Jacksons friends. Check out The Bastards Have Landed
Too true. Of course you have noticed it is mostly the Aussies and their hangeron friend the Yanks (or Septic Tanks, or Sepos for short, as they are known in Aussie) that makeall the comnments. You really gotta wonder why it is they are so obsessed with Kiwi sheep. Do you think they are jealous when they look out at their scrawny, pathetic, fly blown excuses for shepp then look at the product we have to offer?
The real reason that George WW III Bush is trying to invade Iraq is that the US economy is on it's knees. He took a perfectly good economy and managed to fsck it up royally. Someone needs to point out to him that the movie Wag The Dog was fiction, although I suspect that his tiny little brain couldn't comprehend fiction.
The chances of any movie winning the OSCAR in the current dick stroking, I'm an American the rest of you can go to hell, my war toys are bigger than your war toys climate is practically nil. When was ther last time that a good quality foreign film won against an Merkin made movie that could best be described as adequate.
Lets look at the current crop of candidates using the IMDB vote boards as a point of comparison.
Gangs of New York gets an average of 7.3 from 9,600 votes(NB vote numbers rounded to 2 significant figures).
The Ring gets 7.5, also from 9,600 votes.
The Hours gets 7.7 from a measley 3,600 votes.
Chicago gets 7.9 from 7,800 votes.
The Pianist gets 8.6 from 4,300 votes.
Lord of the Rings: Two Towers gets 8.8 from 39,000 votes.
LOTR:TTT places 17th in the top 250. It's box office total is 332,000,000 placing it 7th of all movies in box office total, exceeding even the first part of the trilogy. Yet will it get a fair shot at best picture? Of course not, because the director isn't an Merkin and it wasn't made in the land of "you must do what the UN says but we don't have to". Yes, I do realise that there have been movies in the past that should have been given nominations at least. It all goes to show that those that cast their votes don't have a clue about the movies people actually want to see.
This is, however, pretty damned obvious to any intelligent movie goer forced to step into the constant flow of rank sewage currently flowing out of the bowels of the movie studios like a fetid, stinking stream of diarrhea in order to find an all too rare quality movie.
The albums that are being vomitted out in their millions by the recording industry today have about as much artisitic talent as one of your farts so go record an album.
Awwwww, is the poor widdle Australian pissed off because they couldn't defend the cup when Team New Zealand.
Technology will only take you so far. But a VERY large component of sailing is the abilities and tactics of the crew. Technology also doesn't mean squat if the boat is not built correctly. A perfect example of that is the
australia One Submarine campaign. Oracle have found that out more recently when they dumped there keel onto the floor of the Hauraki Gulf for the second time in a year.
New Zealand sailing conditions are particularly tricky which is what makes Kiwis such good sailors. Why else would there be Kiwis sailors in almost all the teams as well as making up a sizable proportion of the sailors in the Volvo round the world race.
There is no contest to represent America. All the challengers go through a series of races in round robin format then elimination races to determine who the Kiwi yatchmen will grind into a sticky mess on the bottom of their boatshoes.
And believe me when I say that WILL happen, despite what the pundits say. They said Team New Zealand would not win the last one either. So we went out and retained the cup 5-Nil after beating the living snot out of Dirty Dennis the Cheating
Whale 5-Nil. Now the "pundits" say we won't win becuase TNZ is supposedly weakened by the treacherous acts of the traitors. Clearly they don't know the Kiwi Kick Ass spirit.
Assholes OnLine is, in the scheme of the Intenet, jast a cling-on on the anus of life. That is shown time and again when their piece of 5h17 software gets installed on machines around the US screwing up settings. Lets not forget, people, that AOL in their infinite "wisdom" decided to include Windows 98 TCP/IP stack files which screwed up anything that wasn't 98 in of the iterations in the digital diarrhoea that they unleash on the gormless ID10Ts' that use their "service". And look whats happened to Netscape since they sucked in into the gaping, drooling maw that is AOL.
Agreed. I remember seeing it on the TV science tabloid show "Beyond 2000". It was being used in conjuction with a waterproof computer in a tube that was being used by divers doing seabed surveys for some university or some such.
A piece of advice from one who discovered the hard way. When ramming a female gymnast DO NOT UNDER CIRCUMSTANCES allow her to wrap her legs around your back unless you have chiropractic problems or are into pain. OUCHIES!!!!!!
That is fucking hilarious!!! When is your cameo on Letterman?
The record companies are nothing more than money grubbing pricks who bend both the artists and the public over the table and give us a right royal shafting. The only difference between the a record companies office and a cactus is tha on a cactus the pricks are on the outside.
That is done for the inbreed local yokals from Buttlick.

Hey, Sister-Maw-Warf, did y'all done seen whwere aycting in that there part of tha black feller? I done lookied through the rolly words at the end of tha pichir fer his name, but I don't rightly recall seeing tha fellers name. Allin I saws was a feller with tha word J but fer tha larfe of me I don recall seeing the name of Jay upin there on tha screen. Did you Daddy-Cousin-Brother Jed? You done gadyated fifth grade after all. And who in the ame of Sam Hill is Sid? I don't recall seeing his name. Y'all don't thinkin that ijut Son-Brother of mine, John Katz, got that names all mussed up with a real person in the pichur, does ya? Thats the last time I let him goes to the theeata without adults.
Somehow I get the feeling this idiot is just being a dumfuck failure of a troll-like clonelet rather than being a syphalitic, drooling, imbecile with a tooless, gaping maw in the middle of what is, in a human, classifed as a face similar to the onew currently screwing thing up in a glaringly painted building while his buddies riup people of, collapse companies flip the bird to people that lost money then shit on them.
I used to turn up at the door with a beer can in one hand, a raw piece of meat on a fork in the other hand, a cigarette in my mouth and just say "yeah?" then belch. Average time spent - about 1 min.
Especially the inbred redneck types with 12 toes 11 fingers and 3 living relatives despite having 16 "living" cousins, 2 "living" parents, 4 "living" grandparents and 8 "living" greatgrandparents.
If you have any fluid (cola/caffeine) you are warned to swallow before reading so that you do not spray said fluid all over your monitor/keyboard and if there are any cats (or other nervous lifeforms) warning not to laugh so loudly that you then have to detach said cat from the ceiling tiles where it has imbeddede its' claws in shock.
And having been a longterm kookologist on Usenet, I rate this around the middle of the C&C scale.

Could you please tell us how hard you find it masturbating with tweezers stole from a microsurgeon?
It's the best damned place for them!
it would require being in Australia for a while. That would not be so bad except that the place is full of Australians.
Enough said.

Anyone willing to bet they will screw it up?

you're either canadian or retarded. Not that those are mutually exclusive.
This is about the standard of comment I would expect from a Merkin.
