How many times have you seen this plot device turn up in a movie?
The heroes have to get through a locked door, or across a courtyard, or into the back of a van, but they can’t. All is very much about to be lost; and then, out of nowhere, some nameless character just doing his or her job steps up and does The Right Thing — looks the other way, distracts the bad guys, presses the button.
Situation saved, everybody rejoices.

Wherein our Heroes discuss how you go about selling Australia to a world that already has everything…
Tourism Australia has launched a new television ad in its ongoing mission to market the Land Downunder to the rest of the world.
The only problem? It seems many Australians find the ad embarrassing, and it’s not hard to figure out why.

A pal of the Voodoonista, ‘Thomas the Terribly Inappropriate’ sent me a video clip I hadn’t watched for soom time and was amazed to discover it still appeals to me. This is no doubt a reflection on me and perhaps speaks to my preference for bad management, tacos, off-color language, Seth Rogen, 100% cotton shirts and socks, and gals with questionable tastes in her men.
The vid’ is from the same crazy Lonely Planet dudes that brought us the err classics ‘I’m On A Boat’ and ‘_izz in My Pants’… Yeah… so it kinda goes without saying – if your easily offended then you need to quickly click on this link and browse away. Continue reading ‘Like a Boss!’
Kayne West I don’t really get and Jamie Foxx – not so much although he was good in the American Football Epic ‘Any Given Sunday’ with Al Pacino. But put them together with some sweet lookin’ gals and a well executed video clip and you just went all Gold with some misunderstood well intentioned ladies. Not. Continue reading ‘Gold Diggar!’
Wherein our Heroes discuss cancelled plans, international relationships, the Impending Invasion Of Tasmania, and the inner workings of martial art movie fight scenes, a bit.
US President Barak Obama has cancelled a second consecutive Presidential visit to Australia on the grounds that he needs to ‘stay home’ and ‘do some stuff.’
It’s slowly becoming obvious that instead of owning up and admitting that the US doesn’t want to spend time with Australia any more, the relationship is going to die an agonising death of a thousand cancelled plans and unreturned phonecalls.
At what point should Australia accept the inevitable and start seeing other countries?
Australia took a brutal beating from Germany in its first match of the 2010 World Cup. At 4-0 to Germany, and with Cahill receiving a shock red card (madness, Rodriguez, what were you thinking?!) and unavailable for our next match against Ghana, it looks bleak for the Aussies.
Okay Voodoonista, what went wrong against Germany, and do we have any real hope at all for surviving the Group round?
This is an open conversation follow-up to Who are you tipping to win the 2010 World Cup?, please join in!
