Aussie T.V and Movie Thread

[Reply #480 on:]

I think they have a rule that channels can only screen the same movie every 3 months on free to air television. Although this is only a theory.
Air force one is on aswell.
Luckily i'm going to watch a Hitchcock classic instead, Rear Window.
Oh Yeah i highly reccomend the movies Matchstick men, Pirates of the Carribean and 28 days later.

[Reply #481 on:]

Air Force One is another movie they keep showing all the time.

I said to myself 'I will make a point of seeing Matchstick Men before the end of the holidays'. There are 2 days left and I haven't seen it...

[Reply #482 on:]

HaHa i forgot you only had 2 days left.
I've still got a week and three days.
And please go and see Matchstick men it's brilliant.

[Reply #483 on:]

Well, I have had 6 weeks off because I was sick before...

[Reply #484 on:]

The Angry koala virus (or whatever it's called) attacked again? Or are you a stupid bludger? Or are you just plain stupid?

[Reply #485 on:]

I had glandular fever.

[Reply #486 on:]

Oh, so i'm the stupid one...

[Reply #487 on:]

Oh Happy Gilmore, will you ever win..

[Reply #488 on:]

I didn't watch Happy Gilmore last night, I rented out Anger Management instead (I know I watched a Sandler movie instead of a Sandler movie, but I didn't even realise Happy Gilmore was on until 10:30-ish anyway). Although it was a bit too far-fetched at times, I personally thought Anger Management was a really funny movie, despite what I've heard. Most of the characters were hillarious, the jokes were great, it feautred Heather Graham walking around in her underwear, what else do you want?!

Anyway, this isn't the movie review thread, so I'll quickly change the topic back to Aussie TV incase the unlikely event of a mod coming in here occurs... Ummm, new South Park comes back on TV in 2 weeks, yay! But they stopped showing the reruns on Saturday nights, even though they still had one more episode to go of Season 5, nay...

Quick, somebody change the subject before I get carried away.

Indoor bowls is so much better than outdoor bowls, don't you think?

[Reply #491 on:]

Oh yeah. The atmosphere is wild.

[Reply #492 on:]

Im a traditionalist and I like my bowls outdoors, all indoor bowling does is attract rowdy no goodnick crowds...

[Reply #493 on:]

So i guess this means none of you have foxtel?

Such as me and my mates, we are always going there and getting drunk.

[Reply #495 on:]

Starting fights etc....I have foxtel! who says I dosent!

[Reply #496 on:]

10 by my count, along with Bad Boys, which they just HAD to show again cos of the sequel which is about 10 years too late....

[Reply #497 on:]

I know the feeling gleno you read page 12s last post and responded to it, happens to me all the time..

[Reply #498 on:]

I saw Pirates of the Carribean Yesterday
I'm wondering whether or not it's the best movie of the year, if not, its fucking close!

[Reply #499 on:]

It was good but definitly not rave worthy...

[Reply #500 on:]

MatchStick Men was pretty awesome, a lot more enjoyable, better then Pirates of the BigBudget

[Reply #501 on:]

Yeah ive heard good things...

[Reply #502 on:]

Who's seen Bad Boys 2? That was what i was going to see, but Pirates was on in cinema one, and an action movie at cinema one is something you just don't turn down.
Bad boys 2 is my most wanted to see of current movies, at the moment.

[Reply #503 on:]

Yes, Yes Pirates of the Caribbean and Matchstick men are both brilliant.

[Reply #504 on:]

Has anyone here seen the league of extra-ORDINARY men yet i saw the preview when i went to see X-men 2 and it looked exactly like the 1st X-men movie retold with book characters.
P.S. We are getting Iron Chef on SBS on October 11 at 7.30 i'm so exited, i hope they get Soylent Greenoooo as their ingredient(someone may of already done this post but i didn't read the earlier pages)

[Reply #505 on:]

I wanna go see POTC, have been meaning to since everyone has told me it's excellent....and Johnny Depp is always cool in whatever movie he's in....

Anybody know when that stupid Australian Idol thing dies it's death....? 

[Reply #506 on:]

I think its over in about 5 weeks cause that guy who plays the music for bert newton said he was gone for about 13 weeks from that show.

I'm addicted to bert on my days off from uni exept when moira comes on when i want to chuck an ab-swing through the T.V.

[Reply #507 on:]

Gleno - who cares when Australian Idol ends, I'm more worried about what shit Channel 10 are going to replace it with...

And reguarding what Feanix said earlier - hurrah! Iron Chef will be on Aussie TV next Saturday! I will finally get all the jokes from 3ACV22! Yay!

[Reply #508 on:]

Of course channel 10 will put on Simpsons before they bring out a new series of big brother...
I can't believe that anyone would watch a show with people living out their normal lives and have it on every night of the week. I never watched it but surely these people are not that interesting.

You're addicted to Bert Newton....? If ever there was a show that deserved to be hacked to death with an axe it's this....

And I really got into last year's Big Brother, I think cos I could relate to the people more than the previous one....and by the time this year's series started I was sick of it....

[Reply #510 on:]

Iron chef will be on next saturday? Are they showing reruns or something..

[Reply #511 on:]

I was just thinking that....maybe Foxtel....?

[Reply #512 on:]

Well I missed "a taste of freedom" I was away and my sister taped over it. Ill just wait until the DVD comes out

[Reply #513 on:]

Check out what channel 10 have put up against the first Rugby World Cup game... 5 Simpsons episodes in a row! They are all really old ones though... like season 1.

[Reply #514 on:]

I'll have to record Iron Chef.
They have 5 simpsons episodes in a row... That's never happened before....!
I missed A Taste of Freedom Too. I guess i'll have to wait the DVD.

[Reply #515 on:]

5 Simpsons episodes in a row?! When, when?!

Are you sure they're Season One? Channel 10 haven't aired any Season One episodes for about 5 years now, they always just start at Season Two. If they are Season One, I'll be watching. Sure, they're awful - but I haven't seen them in ages and I'm beginning to feel nostalgic...

[Reply #516 on:]

They're always showing season 1, the episode where they find santa's little helper is on all the time
Also i think this is the first time iron chef is on free-to-air television (i could be wrong).

[Reply #517 on:]

It was on free to air just a few weeks back, when they where showing season 4 late night on seven...

Why is futurama on SBS? Is this a pernament fixture..

[Reply #518 on:]

No, No the episode 30% iron chef is a parady of the movie Iron Chef which is going to be on SBS soon.

[Reply #519 on:]

*30% iron cook* they didn't rip off the idea enough to call it *chef*.
Not movie it's a cooking series where people battle in the kitchen stadium to see whose food is best and they are crowned iron chef of that kind of food.
