Fuck You I'm From Austin Film Talk

The Sapphires is the story, loosely based on a real event, about four Aboriginal women who form a soul-group in the late 60's and tour Vietnam. Boy, it's a real feel good story and if you like good music and good characters, you will love this film. First, the cinematography pulls you in before you have a chance to get comfortable. It's a real reminder why I love Australian cinema so very much. Why all those painters migrated to Paris for light is the fell you get watching an Aussie film. That bright yellow glow consumes you and washes over you right from the start. Nothing is quite as beautiful to me as a well shot Australian film. It gets me every time. The young girls are introduced running through fields of yellow flowers as we are reminded of the atrocities that went on against the Aborigines, not only massacres and disease, but the kidnapping of light-skinned youth. As the indigenous Australians were robbed by Australian law of their humanity, classified as non-people...

So, I hit a block on things to watch. Later on, I'm going back to the Italians in the 70's, Germany, French New Wave, but for now....I'm all about Australia. Melbourne, in fact. I am obsessed. I'm watching everything shot in and around Melbourne. I'm crazy for it. The characters, the writers, the directors and production.  First off, I can't vacation myself, even to go to Galveston or North Padre due to the animals here in my rescue. But, I can dream and I can stream. I've watched so much. Lets start with Offspring. Offspring is a series about an obstetrician in a Melbourne Hospital, Nina Proudman played by Asher Keddie. Her obsession is delivering babies and taking care of her unusual family. It's a story most relevant to these times. I'm not a big baby person, but you can't help but get yourself caught up in the joy of life watching Nina and her team of friends bringing these babies into the world. It's really magical. Some of my favorites ...

Get Shorty, the Epix series has filmed three seasons for your viewing pleasure. It takes off from the movie and plays it true to Elmore Leonard's writing. Elmore has some of the best writing out there and best writing advice . Like leaving out the parts that readers tend to skip and if it sounds like writing, rewrite. In other words, Elmore was the man! It's Fuck You I'm From Austin Film Talk's humble opinion that Elmore would have popped a top and kicked it to this wonderful series. FYIFAFF is going to skip to the meat of the thing, although the storytelling is phenomenal. We love characters and Get Shorty delivers. Ray Romano who most people know from Everybody Loves Raymond kills it. Literally. He plays Rick Moreweather, a washed up much less successful version of Russ Meyer or Roger Corman Hollywood producer who just can't catch a break. Two fun things about Rick. His dad is a successful 'autuer' of the Oscar calibur deliciously played by Peter Bogdanov...

Brittany Runs a Marathon and Late Night ... both great movies to double up on during the covid lockdown. A hard-partying woman receives a startling wake-up call when a visit to the doctor reveals how unhealthy she is. Motivated to lose weight, she soon takes up running to help her prepare for her ultimate goal of competing in the New York City Marathon. Late Night is a 2019 American comedy-drama film directed by Nisha Ganatra from a screenplay by Mindy Kaling. It stars Emma Thompson as a popular TV host who hires a new writer (Kaling) to keep from getting replaced.

Vicious and delicious ... wife beaters and child beaters and people eaters....
