True Blood has fallen into the same trap as Dexter did, of believing that all your characters need to constantly be given storylines, even if they are banal and unrelated to the main action.

I've always liked the lines from Greg, The Stop Sign! : "The poor kid becomes a junkie, the rich kid an advertiser. What a terrible waste of potential. Being a junkie's not so good either."

For the 'keep your identities secret' category, the great Melbourne band, TISM, or This is Serious, Mum, with songs such as 'He'll Never Be An Old Man River' (sample lyric - I'm on the drug, I'm on the drug, I'm on the drug that killed River Phoenix).

They might be giants
They might be giants
They might be brain
They might be washed
They might be Dr. Spock's back-up band

THere was only one guy in my classes who brought in a lap top. He never actually took notes, just sat there with it open all smug. I was using a fountain pen to write my notes, so I was probably just as bad.

Damn that was cool, but I wish I hadn't watched it. Still two months away!

For an Australian contribution, how about Paul Kelly's How to Make Gravy? Also works for a list of bitter-sweet Christmas songs (it's a prisoner writing to his family about missing being with them on Christmas Day).

There's a fair amount of Matthew McConaughey in Dazed and Confused to his look here. It's disturbing.

I never liked Silverchair, and this song is pretty objectively awful, but as an Australian only a couple of years older than the band, I can't help feeling a bit defensive about them.

Did anyone notice, it looked like Daniel was wearing a pajama shirt all day? Really emphasized his 'escaped mental patient' vibe.

I was excited to see him in the credits! He's a real charismatic presence and it's good to see him, even if it will only be that one scene.

How did everyone sneak up on that scene? Suddenly, you've got Holly, the Hep V vamps, the good-guy posse and the shifters, and yet still the lynch mob manages to kill someone.

If Lettie Mae killed Tara, that would be awful, but it would also be interesting, and I don't know that True Blood is capable of being that interesting anymore. So I'm voting 'random off-screen vamp/lazy writers room'.

I lived right near by in Bedminster. Don't know the pub though. It's been years since I was there.

I'm aware that plenty of films are set here. But they're not particularly films that scream hometown pride, which is the topic here.

Never knew the Young Ones was filmed there!

He looked like a prison warden moving a prisoner, not someone supporting an injured man.

Melbourne is not overly well represented in film - hey everyone, come and see the place where Romper Stomper is set! - it tends to stand in unrecognisably for other places in Bollywood and Chinese films. But I do take pride in the fact that part of Mad Max was filmed in Melbourne Uni.

Saw him live recently, and he did this song as the final encore, completely a cappella and slowed right down, holding the notes for impossible lengths of time. Just stunning, you could have heard a pin drop.

It's Brian Mannix!
