"Most mornings I'll apologise in advance to my wife."
The babadook is a loving masterpiece compared to the piles of loving dreck that get shat out on a yearly basis. We make terrible movies in this country. It seems its a 50/50 split between dire as gently caress comedies and worthy subject films. Crap scripts, a revolving door of rookie directors and fuckawful scores seems to be the biggest issues.

If industry people think piracy is the issue they are living on the moon. No one is watching our films because they are almost entirely shithouse.

Only recent Straya movies I've liked are Red Dog because nostalgia (Karratha kid) and Son of a Gun, which was basically 'Payday: Perth Edition'. They definitely don't rate as great movies, though

FOX told to renegotiate TEN output deal

Arsetralian 4/9/17

21st Century FOX has been told to renegotiate its content agreement with TEN, worth up to $195 million, or take a one-off $3.4 million payment from CBS.

Employees and general trade creditors of TEN will get 100% of what they are owed by the end of the year but content suppliers will only get their full payment if they stay with the network.

“Most creditors of the TEN Network businesses will get paid in full under the KordaMentha restructuring plan to sell the network to CBS,” KordaMentha said in a statement this afternoon.

CBS is providing $205 million to TEN to cover creditor costs, on top of $172.7 million it provided for the Commonwealth Bank and $12m each for Lachlan Murdoch, Bruce Gordon and James Packer.

Administrators have set aside $32 million for content providers. FremantleMedia Australia is owed $425,000, ITV Studios Australia is owed $1.9 million and EndemolShine Australia is owed $1 million.

TEN’s 750 employees will receive up to $56.2 million for annual leave and long service leave, and paying out any entitlements owed to former staff.

A second creditors meeting has been scheduled at the Sydney Harbour Marriott Hotel on Tuesday, September 12. That will be followed by a Supreme Court ruling to ratify the transfer of shares from existing holders to CBS, when any challenge is most likely to occur.

KordaMentha expects to formally complete the sale by mid-October, with most creditors paid by the end of the year.

It's about finding that next group of core players we can win with in the next 6, 8, 10 years. Let's face it, it's hard for 20-, 21-, 22-year-olds to lead an NHL team. Look at the playoffs.

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

I'm proud of you, Bender. Sure, you lost. You lost bad. But the important thing is I beat up someone who hurt my feelings in high school.

I remember that film.

I was doing film studies in the early 90's at uni so I was watching a lot of Australian movies at the time. I really enjoyed Love Serenade and Thank God He Met Lizzie.

I loving love how the government claims the ABS can run a survey on peoples opinions, because back in the 70's they ran one about changing the national anthem.
I guess it didn't occur to them that, maybe that survey was illegal but nobody took them to court over it like what's happening now :saddowns:

Outspoken right-wing commentator Andrew Bolt has been chased through the streets of Melbourne this afternoon by a gang of anti-fascist thugs hell bent on glitter-bombing him again.

But Bolt wouldn’t have a bar of it.

Rather than let the gutter-dwelling communists catch him unawares, the barrel-chested South Australian tried his level best to outrun his assailants.

After a running gun battle through Richmond and Hawthorn in Melbourne’s lawless east, during which Bolt is said to have shot up to six of the left-wing goons chasing him, they caught up with him a short time ago at the Maroondah Reservoir Park in the capital’s far east.

“What is it you want?!” screamed the 57-year-old as he stood on the edge of the dam wall.

“I’m merely exercising my right to free speech, much the same as you are! If you kill me now, you’re no better than the forces you say you’re fighting!”

Given the option to surrender himself and be glitter-bombed or jump to his death, Bolt punched one last activist in the throat before throwing himself from the dam into the churning spillway below.

The Sun-Herald columnist was last seen on the banks of the Watts River about a kilometre from the reservoir coughing up water and cursing softly under his breath.

More to come.
