2. The Roly Poly Man (http://www.memorabletv.com/dvdreviews042/rolypolyman.htm) ...a very strange movie, IMO extremely funny and the pinnacle of Australian film noir spoof. I've seen it twice, I think it's brilliant.

I haven't seen it recently, but it is the most recent Australian film that I have seen a couple of months ago, The Tunnel (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1735485/). It is pretty good, but this is probably one of the most interesting things about the film:

From Wiki:


The film has been noted for its modes of release and distribution (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Film_distributor). In addition to its conventional modes of release, including a limited Australian theatrical release, screenings on Showtime Australia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Showtime_Australia), and an Australian and New Zealand DVD release through Paramount Pictures (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paramount_Pictures) Australia and Transmission Films, the film has garnered much attention for its unconventional release through BitTorrent (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BitTorrent_%28company%29). The Tunnel is the first Australian film to be distributed and promoted legally through the BitTorrent internet (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet) downloading (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Download) platform, a release strategy which could potentially expose the film to tens of millions of people, for free.[2] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Tunnel_%282011_film%29#cite_note-smh-1)[3] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Tunnel_%282011_film%29#cite_note-h-reporter-2) This free and legal online release is a cooperation between the filmmakers, peer-to-peer (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peer-to-peer) distribution platform VODO (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VODO) and BitTorrent Inc., which is distributing the film through an app (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Application_software) on its client (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Client_%28computing%29).[5] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Tunnel_%282011_film%29#cite_note-giga-4)
On 18 May 2011 The Tunnel had its official premiere at Event Cinemas (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Event_Cinemas), Bondi Junction (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bondi_Junction,_New_South_Wales), at a Popcorn Taxi (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Popcorn_Taxi) screening and Q&A (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Q%26A) event, and was also released simultaneously on DVD (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DVD), TV (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TV) and BitTorrent.[5] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Tunnel_%282011_film%29#cite_note-giga-4)


Pretty cool, eh?

10. Morning of the Earth

Not your run-of-the-mill surf film. It was shot with a 16mm camera in 1972. You won't hear any spoken words of any kind, and apart from the credits bookending the piece you won't see any written ones either. The film was made by surfers for surfers who don't care for competitions; a mood piece for those who regard surfing not as an activity, but a lifestyle.

It's the only film I have watched more than once at the cinema. A videotape of it did not become available until about 15 years after its cinema run finished, and its release on DVD took place around another ten years after that. I got the lot, of course, as each appeared. And the soundtrack on vinyl... and cassette tape... and CD... and a poster of the film from a shop window...

In short, I think it's kind of OK.

7. Charlie Wilson's War (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charlie_Wilson%27s_War)

How one Congressman brought down the USSR. The film finished on a sad note: Having won the war, the US government walked away from the opportunity to win the people in Central Asia.

Railroad tracks in the sky page 1

Mysturji 8th February 2012, 07:01 PM When I was a little kid, I used to like to imagine that high-flying jets leaving vapour trails behind them were laying railroad tracks in the sky, and that behind every such plane was a sky-train. Now, decades later, I still think that is a remarkably poetic image to spring from the mind of a little boy. In the interest of balance however, I should admit that I also liked to imagine - when taking a piss - that any remnant of toilet paper (or anything else) in the toilet was an enemy marine base, and that my penis was an enormously powerful space-based orbital laser with orders to destroy the base. What childhood imaginings do you remember? divagreen 8th February 2012, 07:08 PM I used to pretend my crayons were people and had whole cities made out of cardboard boxes and wore paper clothes.

Feed Students Semen = Collect Full ,000/mth Pension page 1

Jerome 3rd February 2012, 01:17 AM Feed Students Semen = Collect Full $4,000/mth Pension (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/02/01/mark-berndt-lausd-responds-to-teacher_n_1247138.html) Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD) Superintendent John Deasy confirmed with Fox 11 News (http://www.myfoxla.com/dpp/news/local/lausd-reacts-to-teachers-arrest-20120131) that he has seen some of the more than 400 photos of teacher Mark Berndt allegedly spoonfeeding his semen (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/02/01/excalif-teacher-in-court-_n_1246675.html?1328110095&ref=los-angeles) to blindfolded and gagged students, some with cockroaches on their faces. As the Los Angeles Times reports (http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/lanow/2012/02/la-teacher-suspected-of-lewd-conduct-keeps-benefits.html), Berndt will receive $4,000 a month in pension for life from the California State Teachers' Retirement System as well as lifetime health benefits from the district.
