a pain in the Asgard too...
If a third Fantastic Four movie every gets off the ground, they should bring it to Australia and cast Whipp as Galactacus, Devourer-of-Worlds!
...or maybe as a one-eyed Odin, I've just seen a snippet of so-called action from the Thor movie in production, cringe....

the PH factor - I'll get my goat then...
acid redux - from Paul "Cheeky Whitey II" Henry.
I am failing to see the humour in his latest gaffe,
this morning where Henry asked Mr Key...whether Governor-General Sir Anand Satyanand was a New Zealander or not.
When assured by Mr Key that he was, Henry asked if he was going to pick someone who looked more like a New Zealander next time.
Sir Anand is New Zealand's first Governor-General of Indian and Pacific ancestry. He had a lengthy career as a lawyer, judge and ombudsman before taking up the job in August 2006.
He was born and raised in Auckland, attending Richmond Road School in Ponsonby, and Sacred Heart College in Glen Innes. His parents were born in Fiji and migrated to New Zealand, his grandparents were born in India and had migrated to Fiji.
this is from the man who said:
Henry, as a father, distanced himself from Maori Party MP Hone Harawira when it came to his daughters dating.
"Hone is indeed more racist than I. It's not enough that they're nice, not enough that they're kind, they also have to be brown ... Whereas I haven't set a colour restriction for my girls."Perhaps Henry (who was also born in NZ) should head back to Bristol where he "allegedly" grew up, and have another go at evolving properly into an adult of the species...

Indeed, California is well proud of its history of snow-bound cannibalism.
hmmmm Donner Kebabs...
...I'll pass! -
I presume David was referring to this:
aaah! thanks for that, those were the days...
Commonsense is getting as scarce as Helium these days - and WTF with India wasting all that Helium on "the world's biggest Helium balloon" at their Commonwealth Games opening - now there's something Paul Holmes could get upset about!
-
btw, I believe that in California you can swim and ski on the same day too, maybe that's why Hollywood is there.
ditto Vancouver, as Rich noted above...
I thought the Snow in California
mostly went up the nose... :- )anyway I'm surprised they just don't green screen the landscape (a la Avatar) these days ...

the downside of sunnyside up...
Is the universe trying trying to tell us something other than "get in the kitchen and cook me some eggs, Carol Ferris"?
but, but, the Green Lantern's ring doesn't work
on yellow objects (or wood!)
B.E.M.s, Cthulhu and other elder gods...
What is a ...'Brian Edwards moment"
is it related to statistical moments?
...a quantity that expresses the average or expected value of the first, second, third, or fourth power of the deviation of each component of a frequency distribution from some given value, typically mean or zero. The first moment is the mean, the second moment the variance, the third moment the skew, and the fourth moment the kurtosis.or more physics...
...a turning effect produced by a force acting at a distance on an object. -
talk about Astronomical costs...
Warners have pulled out all the stops for this piece of cosmic publicity for their upcoming movie:Green Lantern
Release Date: June 17th, 2011 - Warner Bros.
In a universe as vast as it is mysterious, a small but powerful force has existed for centuries. Protectors of peace and justice, they are called the Green Lantern Corps.broker backed mountain...
...and "habitués" is a nice word, thanks
Oh, I thought it had turned into a food
thread already - Hobbit, chewy... -
speaking of ACTAs...
[eyes narrow]
Did someone say COPYRIGHT ??dun dun dun dun dun dun dun....
...some empanelled experts strip away the veneer, in a new graphic novel Theft: A history of Musical borrowing from Plato to Hip Hop - from this article - and as they say "Comic book dystopias
are no fun to live in."
...and random factors!dunn dunn dunn dunn dunn dunn dunn....
I note a picture of a Jacqui Dunn having a
whale of a good time at the Kaikoura Sea Fest in
The Press today?
Was deepest, darkest, shaky Avondale
sans-a-PASer for the weekend?
If so, was it as much fun as it looked? -
that's another fine mesh we're in...
There's a lot of other people who stand to lose as well - non-film related industries also gain economic benefit from major productions, e.g. accommodation, hospitality, taxi drivers...
as has just happened in Chch with the cancelling
of both the Writers and Body (Dance) festivals - destructive ripples in small ponds...
...but then nothing is certain in this life -
potential is only ever realised in hindsight! -
they always get their goat...
Police Parade Goat As Robbery Suspect
Goats are known for their lively and frisky behaviour, one just has to remember Billy the Kid...
"while one of them escaped, the other was about to be apprehended by the team when he turned his back on the wall and turned to this goat. They quickly grabbed the goat and here it is.’’
aka the Escape Goat, a cunning plan to avoid the minions of the Nanny State!
