What's Your Favourite Aussie Movie or Television Show? What are you watching now?

[Phrynne, Series Queen!]

Poor dinosaur:( And yes I loved the eyebrow speech as well.

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

I haven't watched Dr Who since I was a lot younger;) I don't know the name of the actor (probably the original) and I used to enjoy it!

[Sally906]

I did enjoy the first episode, I like the new doctor. I wasn't happy to see the daleks are in next weeks episode. I loathe them with a passion!

The episode this week was very steam punk I thought. A lizard woman married to her maid - how clever. And the poor dinosaur I shed a tear for her.

[Ariel]

My son is a Dr Who fanatic - so Yes, I did watch it. I actually think this Doctor might just be the best one yet...

Never. No one is better than David Tennant:)

Those movies are awful so disappointing ugh

I'm not a Dr. Who fan, but the only Doctor I could stand was Chris Eccleston.

He was in for just one series wasn't he? He wasn't too bad.

[Phrynne, Series Queen!]

He was the one who introduced the new modern type Doctor. I thought he was pretty good but he didn't do it for long.

I liked him too. I was disappointed that he only lasted one season.

I'm with you there Phrynne. Hard to believe anyone could top David Tennant!
Another Neil Gaiman episode would be fabulous.

[Sally906]

David Tennant always struck me as being on the edge of madness with those 'crazy' eyes. Yes he was excellent as I always thought the doctor to be completely bonkers - LOL.

Exactly! David also played an excellent Hamlet on stage and no one was more bonkers than Hamlet:)

And don't forget Barty Crouch in Harry Potter - bonkers again!

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

SNAP you two!!!

Oh yes - that was the most bonkers of all!!!

[Leonie]

Brenda wrote: "SNAP you two!!!"

Ha! Must have posted simultaneously :)

And that tongue flick was most definitely creepy!

[Sally906]

The eyes and the tongue flick - yes David Tennant does bonkers beautifully!

[Renee]

My favourite Aussie is hands down The Castle!

[Alex]

I think A Place to Call Home is quite a watchable Australian drama. Has anyone mentioned it? apologies if so.

[Neko]

I'm currently watching The Code...bits of it annoy me if I was to be honest :/

Chobbits - more adult style anime I guess

Sons of Anarchy last season.

RUSH from the U.S that got canned.

The latest season of The Simpsons...zz

BONES just restarted :D

Polishing off Defiance...blegh season imo

Finished watching Utopia...great Aussie show!

Top Boy on ABC2 British drama


I think that is it!

[★ Jess]

Powering through Arrested Development :')

[Sally906]

Utopia was a must watch show in our household too - being public servants ourselves we just 'knew' all the characters. Was very funny - but sadly close to the truth!!

You enjoying it Jess? I think you said you weren't too fussed on the first season didn't ya?

Got Alien: Isolation, so I've been rewatching the Alien films. Damn they're good.

I really enjoy Utopia because it reminds me of my work. I guess that is why everyone enjoys it

Took me a long time to get into for some reason, but from the second half of season 1 was hooked, and season 2 was near perfect.

[K]

Fave Aussie movie is the Man From Snowy River and Babe and fave Aussie TV show is most definitely Rake. SO funny.

[Lynne]

My favourite Aussie movie is The Castle and my favourite TV show was The Panel when it was on. In fact, just about anything by Working Dog is good.

[Lynne]

Utopia is just about the only Working Dog production I'm not that fond of. It annoyed me because it reminded me of a place I used to work and I wanted to slap most of the characters on a regular basis!

LOL! I think THAT is exactly why they made it! I loved it.

I've started another Aussie show...But I cannot think for the life of me what it's called...One with uhm.....Nina from Offspring in it..YEAH...I win a prize for fuzzy brain,hey?

[Lynne]

Some days I'd love it, other days I wanted to put something through the TV. ;-)

Is it Love My Way?

[K]

I am not watching any Aussie shows right now, but I keep forgetting to watch Mad As Hell. I love Shaun Micaleff. He's hilarious.

[Liam || Books 'n Beards]

I need to watch Mad as Hell. I loved NEWSTopia back in the day.

Shaun Micallef is so great

[Liam || Books 'n Beards]

One eye on the world.
The other, on ourselves.
A third eye looking at you watching us.
An all-seeing, all-knowing three-eyed news-gathering cyclops.
Its name? NewsTOPIA.

Saw Gone Girl last night. I love David Fincher.

[Liam || Books 'n Beards]

I saw that with mum the other week, really good! David Fincher knows how to make a movie.

Seeing A Walk Amongst the Tombstones with her after work today :P

[Phrynne, Series Queen!]

Let me know if that is any good. The trailer made it look like every other movie that guy has ever made.

[Liam || Books 'n Beards]

I am pretty excited to watch Liam Neeson punch people.

[Phrynne, Series Queen!]

:)
But does he do anything else? And does he ever smile?

Yes but that was a very long time ago! I guess I shouldn't have said ever made:)

[Liam || Books 'n Beards]

I rather enjoyed Walk Among the Tombstones, was a bit more grounded in reality than Taken. Similar sort of thing though.

[Phrynne, Series Queen!]

Thanks Liam. Will probably go see it next Saturday:)

If you like the character, there are plenty of Matthew Scudder books out there to read. The Sins of the Fathers is book one.

[Liam || Books 'n Beards]

Cheers Michael, might look into it.

I recommend them if you like hard boiled crime novels

[★ Jess]

Whiplash. Incredible. Far more intense than most thrillers I've seen and incredibly acted. Go watch it!
