I love the fact that I never have to take the Vivofit 2 off because I’m not a watch person. If I had to take it off everyday to shower or charge it would just stay off, I’d forget about it. Some of the new FitBits are way cuter but I wouldn't sacrifice the battery life or water resistance for anything.

I wish you had a recording of this convo. I love telling the uninitiated about Twilight. “AND THEN THE WEREWOLF FALLS IN LOVE WITH THE BABY”.

Yeah, he’s great. The ins and outs of the SAG system are really interesting, I’d be really fascinated to know how it works for midlevel international actors. I see a LOT of Australian actors in bit parts in US movies (seriously, so many) and I’ve always assumed they're a lot cheaper than Americans. Their interaction…

Yeah, lately I’ve been seeing him everywhere. It makes me laugh every time because I’m Aussie and grew up watching him in the soapy Secret Life of Us. I loved him.

It’s possible for what your family told you to be not true and not a lie, if they believe it strongly to be true based on the evidence available to them. They could still be wrong, just like people are always wrong about what is going on in other people’s lives.

Yes, I wish we would talk in these terms more. When people are giving me a hard time about how we don’t need feminism anymore I’ve started reminding them that in Australia it wasn’t illegal for a man to rape his wife until the 1990s. It always makes their face go pale. Giving specific timeframes for indigenous human…

I was wondering if price was an issue because the male lead Joel Edgerton is also not American (Australian). This seems like the type of film that might have been made on a shoestring.

Christmas is amazing, we eat cherries and have barbecues. I've experienced White Christmas and it is v overrated.

Nah, Australian school year runs Feb-Dec and parents can make the decision to start their kids in school at 4 rather than 5 if they're born in the first half of the year.

Yeah, all the people saying she must be damaged by the Australian sun... what the hell, people.

I find it so offensive when people try to say it’s ok because Soon-Yi isn’t his “real child”. He had access to her because she is his children’s sibling.

Yes. I feel like the British one takes itself too seriously to be true to the kind of mischievous spirit of the books. Also the changes that Elementary made gave the story new life. And Jonny Lee Miller’s performance is more nuanced and interesting. And Lucy Liu. Just, Lucy Liu.

Am I the only one that thinks Elementary is way better than Sherlock? Sherlock always seems like it wants me to be super impressed by how genius it is but I don't actually enjoy watching it.

As an Aussie I’m torn between finding it weird they let us in and being delighted because Eurovision is the best. It’s really popular here due to the combined influence of huge European diaspora and hipsters.

I haven’t watched it yet but I’m really happy for Dami Im, I hope it opens doors for her. She's incredible.

I remember Sarah Michelle Gellar saying this around the time Buffy was on — that she wished more celebrities would acknowledge that of course most women can't look like them, because they have insane teams of people monitoring their diets and forcing them to exercise five hours a day, something along those lines. As a…

I don’t believe it because the Australian soap industry is way too small, it would have come out a lot earlier because everybody would have known. Neighbours and Home and Away fans are hardcore. Rebel Wilson got away with it because she started acting later in life and was never particularly involved in the soap…

Yeah, he wouldn't be the first person in power to remain blissfully oblivious to something like this, so I can potentially believe it. He covered social media with a team of writers and researchers but has never shown any inclination towards using it in his private life. Who wants to be the one to tell their boss that…

I read the ‘do you know who you’re talking to’ as ‘don’t you know I’m too old and curmudgeonly to be on Twitter’ — he made similar jokes on TDS.

That's how I read it.
