You and Your Stupid Movie

So turns out we didn't have anything better to do on a Friday night than to go and see a movie. Partly because we couldn't be bothered to get all dressed up and go out somewhere, and Mop happens to work at a movie theatre we she get free tickets (wel actually, they cost $1). How can you pass up a bargain like that? Costs us less to purchase a large popcorn, large coke, two icecreams and a handfull of lollipops than it would to normally purchase two concession tickets! (Damn over exuberant prices at cinemas...)

Even more ironic, is the fact that we went and saw the new Aussie film (gotta support the Australian film industry), "You and Your Stupid Mate".

It was our belief, judging by the past efforts of Australian comedy such as "The Nugget", "Fast Food", and typically anything that stars Jimeoin, that generally such films depict some random, no-hoper, local hero who turns about and saves the country, city or local community library, all at the expense of treating the audience to bad fart jokes and poor comic routines. However, "You and Your Stupid Mate" as far as we are concerned, was well worth the $1 that we paid for tickets, and gave us a few chuckles for an hour and a half. Of course, it was probably no better than those films just previously mentioned, but at least it appeared in no way that the producers of this film were trying to portray this film as real Australian life.

Our current list of classic Aussie films include: "The Castle", "Crackjack", "The Wog Boy", and "Fat Pizza". We probably won't include "You and Your Stupid Mate" in this collection, but if you get a chance, try to go see this most recent representation of Australian's at their most stupid. Maybe one day somebody will write a film that won't make us look like retards, homosexuals (Priscilla, we love it, but really, is it the real Australia?), bad dancers, or even actors to the rest of the world.

But as far as "You and Your Stupid Mate" is concerned, where else could you get a theory as thought out and as witty as this:
If you get a letter, stick it on the fridge for five days. At least then, if it is something bad, you'll have five days more of being happy than someone who would have opened it.
...or when the colour of the water in a pool actually changes when you pee in it!... hehe :)

Do you guys watch Safran vs God on SBS on Monday nights? Pants-pissing FUNNY stuff.

Admittedly not a movie, but some damn fine edgy Aussie comedy. Plus I have a crush on John Safran. Ok, well, I have a crush on any guy who has a lisp.

So darn thexy....
