Well, they have to fill in the time between Patton Oswalt interviews with something.

I haven't read the article, so I'm going to assume this must be that fly-on-the-wall documentary about North Melbourne full-forward and Sydney Swans coach John Longmire that I've long recommended the TV networks should get behind. Frankly, it's about time.

This episode seems to be attracting a lot more negative reviews than I would have expected - I wonder if the cuts actually affected the episode to such an extent that UK & US audiences effectively saw "different" episodes?

I can plausibly say that I don't like either Matt Smith or (sad to say, given my hopes for him) Steven Moffat as showrunner, and am waiting for them both to move on before I start watching Doctor Who again.

We do occasionally produce some pretty fine TV nowadays, but let's face it, none of it is a patch on "Australia's best loved show": http://www.youtube.com/watc…

I don't really want to know about any of those things, but I do see a future A.V. Club Inventory idea in there: "15 Movies Featuring Shower Regrouting Scenes"

It''s true, we totally are all racists. I myself just insulted five Aborigines, a couple of Chinese tourists, and an entire family of Algerians, and I haven't even had breakfast yet.

As an Australian myself, I feel compelled to point out that I, too, am an Australian.

Counterpoint: says you!

True enough. On the other hand, Bérénice Bejo (the female lead) is married to the director of this movie, so make of that what you will.

Champagne comedy!

What's missing from this anecdote is the fact that the paycheck in question was 6' x 3'.

"When a bull crushes his robot in a state-fair event…" Jeez, not THAT story again. Doesn't Hollywood have any new tricks?

Now THAT'S what I call Secret Cinema.

Absolutely. Not as good as, say, Mary's Danish, but pretty darn good anyway.

"The Rest of My Life" = Sloan's admission of defeat regarding their inability to crack the U.S. market: "One thing I know about the rest of my life / I know that I'll be living it in Canada."

No, no, this won't do. You're in the privileged position of being able to watch Australia's favourite TV shows, like "Packed to the Rafters" and "Winners and Losers". How many Americans can make that claim?

I think she's Canadian, and if that doesn't mean power and immense wealth to you, I don't know what does.

I is, yes. A sprig of wattle in my hand, etc.
