Everyone's Got One

Are you thinking hard about how to cast your vote in David and Margaret's poll to establish just what is Australia's Favorite Film? (Honestly, I really, really, shudder to think.) According to D & M, "Everyone's Got One", so I think that probably means voting is compulsory. But in the best traditions of Australian democracy one can always exercise one's right to not give a bloody rat's arse by casting a donkey vote. (Admire the mixing of the metaphors.) Unless you've already committed yourself, I strongly suggest you go read the sterling, stirring case made by Jon at Sterne before filling in your ballot papers.

The pineapple thing is a government plot. They are now too scared to give the citizens access to the wrong end of the pineapple for fear that we will use it to express ourselves.

Bit confusing -- I thought it was your favorite Australian film, until I clicked on the link and saw the blurb about LOTR etc. So it's favorite film generally? I'd rather a poll on the former! Far too general!

And that poster is frigging hilarious. I want to print it out for my toilet wall...

My favourite Australian film is "Sweetie". Farrking genius Genevieve Lemon.

Sandra Berhnardt shares my opinion, apparently.

yasuz!

Sunday Too Far Away.

It's the film I am convinced I should hate, but for some reason really like.

Dear Ms Tartan, I realise this is off topic (after all - if I was on topic, we all know which film I'd probably be talking about right now) but can you send me you email address? I seem to have mislaid it and there's something I want to send you.
cheers.
