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

[★ Jess]

at 9:30 I'll be tuning into 7two to watch Bernard Tomic :)

[Michael]

I'm watching the American version of Wilfred; it actually better than expected

[★ Jess]

Oh, I haven't seen it yet.
BUT I havent seen all the Aussie one either. Still working through the first season in DVD :)

[Michael]

One of the guys from the Wedge is Wilfred

I rarely watch TV, but I'm loving The Kennedy's.

[★ Jess]

I was watching Tomic vs Djokovic in the Wimbleton finals...Saw the first set then got sent to bed for 'Stay up to late'.
Ive got the live scored on my computer now. Good to see he is 3-1 (and serving) in the second set :)
Dont think he will get over the line against Novak-world #2-but I hope he is going to be competitive and make it a 5 set game.
BUT, Tomic did beat Soderling, world #5, so nothing is impossible. Fingers crossed.

[★ Jess]

Shattered.

[Neko]

Watching season 7 of Simpsons...I'm so far behind in the simpsons it's not even funny :p

[Neko]

Lol....I've watched so many of the seasons while at friends but just not consistantly to say I've actually watched them all...Now is my chance just sooo many *hangs head* XD

[Neko]

Sounds interesting Carmel....The only thing that bothers me is this:
COMPASS: STATE OF UNION
Screening 10pm Sunday, July 2 on ABC1

July 2nd is today..lol So, maybe it's going to be on the 3rd?

THE NUGGET LOL

[★ Jess]

Australias not the only country against gay marriage, is it?

[Neko]

Arugh...I missed Compass...Will go catch up tomorrow with the online part.

But Michael, yeah, it's annnoying Australia won't recogise couples who get married over in USA or Canada when they come back home. Would be dishearting.

That annoys me too, spoiled my plans for a Vegas wedding

[Neko]

Vegas is illegal still :p

People within the USA have the same problem (vegas or not)..Get married in say MA then go to Cali and suddenly they aren't married anymore.

[Michael]

yeah that's why there are millions of stories about people that travel having two different families

Mmm!! Interesting Carmel! :D

[[deleted user]]

I have never understood why gay marriage is such a big deal..its just a couple of words we have to change. its not like they are terrorists asking for. the world will not end if the words change from between man and woman to between to people.
you should able to marry who you love. its no like someone falls in loves with a gender of a person they fall in love with a person. i find it all very frustrating and ridiculous we are not living in the dark ages!
end rant

[Neko]

I had a gay marriage in my Sims 3 tonight..haha :D

Melanie, I agree with Carmel that wasn't a rant, and I also agree with you. It shouldn't matter when someone loves another person of the same sex...I mean, really, it doesn't personally affect other people..Marriage is between two people not 10 or 20 or 100 people, just two.

I think it is time to step out of the dark ages and follow in the footsteps of other countries that have allowed it.

[Neko]

Ughh...Has anyone else thought Masterchef Australia isn't the same anymore? It's moreso about the people than the cooking. And so much blubbering. I sorta feel like I'm watching BB but with some food sprinkled in..lol

Not a fan of reality shows but this one was okay. Moreso enjoyed the kids one though.

Offspring now :D

[★ Jess]

I stopped watching Masterchef. I saw the first two seasons, thoroughly enjoyed both-but just stopped this year. And I hated the kids one. Watched three episodes than stopped because they were all so annoying and spoilt.

[Neko]

Never saw the kids one as spoiled kids....One of the children who was in it used to attend my Mum's school and he was far from spoiled..Very down to earth kid.

But in terms of Masterchef adult..urgh....blegh...gimme a bucket to go puke..lol

[Neko]

Carmel, don't worry...i don't think you're missing out on much.

[★ Jess]

Righy now i am Watching Harry Potter and the Philosophers Stone- the first one ever. Need to rewatch them all before Tuesday :)

[★ Jess]

Everyone is :)

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Enjoy Jessica:)

[★ Jess]

I just saw True Grit (2010) with Jef Bridges and Matt Damon.
It was REALLY good :) ★★★★
Anyone else seen it?

[[deleted user]]

I have seen the original does that count?

[★ Jess]

Just wondering if anyone had seen the new one.

[Michael]

I really enjoyed True Grit (the new one) I love the Coen Brothers; The Big Lebowski; still one of the best movies of all time :)

[★ Jess]

I love 'No Country For Old Men'. And 'Burn After Reading' is hilarious.

[Michael]

Yeah they are great too

[[deleted user]]

I love those to movies! Brad Pit is awesome in 'Burn After Reading'

[★ Jess]

Brad Pitt is awesome in everything, though especially in BAR. Has anyone seen Snatch. (with Brad Pitt as the gypsy)?

[[deleted user]]

"you like dogs?"

Just finished watching PUPL FICTION on DVD, and it is amazing. Ive seen it a few times now, and believe it to be one of the best films of all time. Its got everything-fantastic acting, camera work, clever plot line, humor, and an outstanding script :)
Anyone else seen it?

[[deleted user]]

I Love pulp Fiction!

Spirited season 2 is on now :D I'm so happy but i have to record every ep because I work when it airs

[Neko]

Watching through episodes of Games of Thrones...Up to episode 6.

[Michael]

It's awesome, but the book is better :P

[Neko]

My sister has all the books actually...At first this show bored me until episode 6 which I just finished. Interesting. But still I'd think the books would be better considering they came first.

[[deleted user]]

I'm only up to ep 3... mainly because I'm watching them as they come out on austar but ep 4 with true blood season 4 (couldnt wait :D)

[Neko]

lol some shows it's hard to wait. We don't have cable here.

[[deleted user]]

ahh that sucks...I'm so happy we got it, but free to air is getting so many channels we might drop it soon...I just dont want to go back to 10min add breaks llol

[Neko]

Don't drop cable..Free to Air is so annoying! Many ads and they tend to screw with shows alot :/
