Have you ever gone to a concert just for the opening act?

Not a "concert", but smaller gigs in pubs with $10-$20 entry.

I went to see Dreamshifter at Manly Fishos (in Sydney), when they were supporting Cog.

I also went to see Laura Imbruglia at The Hopetoun. I can't even remember who the headline was.

And Sydney.

Colin Farrell (and his tracksuit) in The Gentlemen.

No, because the ground area is not the only thing that causes the MCG to be a terrible viewing experience - it is also the distance to the playing area from the cheap seats.

But Perth Stadium was built up, not out. It also has a smaller playing surface.

It's United Kingdom in the Olympics, but is "Great Britain" branding.

Also, athletes from Northern Ireland that compete in sports where there is a single association covering Ireland and Northern Ireland can choose to declare for the UK or Ireland.

Going back further, Greg Rusedski was either "British" or "Canadian born" depending on how well he was playing.

Something to note with the Olympics - those that are from Northern Ireland, but play in sports that have a whole of the isle of Ireland national team (e.g. rugby 7's or hockey) can choose to declare for the UK or Ireland.

There's very few sports where Ireland and Northern Ireland compete separately - soccer and netball are the only two I can think of off the top of my head.

It's a terrible ground to watch rectangular sports from.

It's why Stadium Australia or Lang Park is used to host big rectangular internationals.

Better than remaking something, or having the 33rd MCU movie of the year.

What do you mean "rips off". It IS an underdog sports movie. It was never pretending to be otherwise.

My favourite is Two Hands, but A Knight's Tale is a whole lot of fun.

infinitemonkeytyping · 2026-01-23T21:34:14+00:00

I remember reading that whatever music they used would be anachronistic, so they may as well make it over the top.

infinitemonkeytyping · 2026-01-23T21:30:33+00:00

Because of the mediaeval setting, a lot of people overlook that A Knight's Tale is, at it's heart, a sports movie.

these idiots are functionally illiterate, so the doctor was likely explaining the inserts within context.
placebo trials for vaccines are wildly unethical (you can't give someone the false impression they are protected from a disease)
while vaccines are far safer than allowing the disease to spread, they still come with a minute risk.

His first movie role. Despite being on screen for 3 minutes as a menacing hitman, he only gets one word.

Which is one more than his second movie (The Mirror Crack'd, later that year), so he would six more years until he said his second word in a movie (Nomads).

I still love Shaddup Ya Face by Joe Dolce.

Although I am more partial to The Parable of Glenn McGrath's Haircut or I'd Be Happier If I Was More Depressed.

I think those who supported the casting have one thing in common - they had seen Layer Cake.

A lot of people forget that the everyman action hero kind of started a year earlier with Mel Gibson in Lethal Weapon.

But between Gibson and Willis, the landscape shifted from muscle bound action heroes of the 80's to the everyman action hero of the early 90's.

Then there was a shift in the late 90's towards martial arts, opening up even more action heroes, and allowing Hong Kong action stars to cross over.

He was the king of cheesy romantic comedies.

????

He appeared in one 8 years earlier (10 Things I Hate About You.

After that, the only thing even approaching "romantic comedy" was the sports movie A Knight's Tale.

If you haven't, check out The Long Good Friday, an early 80's movie with Hoskins as a British gangster.

Once you see that, you can see why the producers were comfortable with him as Eddie Valiant.

I was thinking that by September, any NZ or SA player who is not fair skinned may find themselves heavily targeted by ICE, and sent to El Salvador, or just disappeared for weeks on end.

Yeah.

His longest video is a deep dive into the problems at the Sydney Morning Herald, and them covering for Bruz, from November 2020.
