For a second, I was expecting to roll my eyes at her surviving a really high fall in a car, but while the alien ship was in its death throes its tentacles lowered the car mostly to the ground before it got dropped

Wait, the general consensus is that Abrams ruined Episode VII? Not the consensus of a specific group of Star Wars fans? Seems a big call…

Could it be that you're missing Owen Wilson sharing writing duties as he did on Bottle Rocket, Rushmore and Tenenbaums?

Possibly the greatest band in Australia at the moment, and almost certainly the best live band.  Do yourself a favour (and check them out)!

Yeah, like most Channel 10-related news items these days, the Simpsons thing is pretty ominous - they shunted it off to OneHD in 2011 or 2012 but had to bring it back somewhat recently to prop up the main channel…

I'd bet that most books aren't as high brow as they think they are

I think all aussie screenplays need to have at least one THEN THEY ROOT

I came on here to comment, apropos of nothing until seeing your comment, that it's one of the best attempts at an aussie accent I've heard in film or tv, at least in the first episode (I seem to remember it going slightly off the rails in subsequent eps).

Plus, Helen told Carrie that the only reason she believed a word of what they told her about Tom's plan was that he'd been in the country for x amount of time and hadn't contacted her or the son.

I like the idea of a bewildered Andy swept up in an affair he barely knows is happening, and if handled well it could shake up the Robert/Andy dynamic somewhat, which is sorely needed.  Put me down as cautiously optimistic…

Um…
