Hey guys, dont go trashing US directors till you've seen a few Australian movies! Trust me, you have the movie making Biz sewn up!
It'll be the 'far flung future' before Australia makes a decent movie.
Even our Actors defect!
If we made a sci-fi it'd be about super intelligent kangaroos and would still be mostly people on horses in the outback.

Yeah he was in 'Red Planet' with Val Kilmer and Terance Stamp, but we try never to mention him Syn.

Lantana was good, with such an amazing country there are always interesting films coming out of Australia
