| Posted: | | | | I remember that Humphrey B. Bear, Channel Nine ad... about 1973/4 I think, just prior to colour television (1975). Dad went and bought a colour TV straight away, if memory serves correctly, there were only maybe 2 or 3 other houses in the street with a COLOUR TV. ![](/images/emoticons/shocked.gif) | | | In the end; Winning is the only safety.

| Posted: | | | | I used to love watching both Humphrey and Fat Cat as a preschooler. On Fat Cat I remember Patsy playing the guitar with the puppets Koalas in the tree behind her. Also the guy that had a weird nose. What was his Name???
On Humphrey I remember the Weet Bix ad that they used to always play from the early 80's. I also remember that on ne episode I watched they were in Humphreys bedroom and there was a man dressed up as a jester or something and he was in Humphreys toybox.Can anyone else remember this episode??? |

| Posted: | | | | I just watched Crash Test, and ugh! Poorly scripted with terrible characterisations. When you can't write a script that makes sense and can't come up with logical motivations for anything that drives the plot, how in the hell do you not only get funding to make a movie but also get someone to release it on DVD? I know it was Australian, but it was crap... and that's coming from someone who enjoyed Subterano, and found Reign in Darkness tolerably bad. | | | Adelaide Movie Buffs (info on special screenings, contests, bargains, etc. relevant to Adelaideans... and contests/bargains for other Aussies too!) |

I don't have to coz I'll scab it off a friend who just ordered it. | | | Adelaide Movie Buffs (info on special screenings, contests, bargains, etc. relevant to Adelaideans... and contests/bargains for other Aussies too!) |

| Posted: | | | | G'day. I have been around for a little while but rarely post, and although I haven't contributed yet I do hope to soon.
Oh and speaking of Australian movies/dvds, one I have been waiting for is coming out soon. Ground Zero (1987) with Colin Friels, Jack Thompson and Donald Pleasence.
Caught it on tv one arvo and have been waiting for it to come out on dvd ever since. | | | Last edited: by toolkit200 |

| Posted: | | | | I hope to see more of you around here toolkit200. Ground Zero looks interesting. I wouldn't mind seeing something else of Colin Friel's (loved him in Dark City). Anyone wanting Micallef stuff, JB have it cheaper again.SaleJust remember that the "Micallef in a Box" is series Un, Deux and Trois together, so if you get it, you don't need to buy them. | | | Adelaide Movie Buffs (info on special screenings, contests, bargains, etc. relevant to Adelaideans... and contests/bargains for other Aussies too!) |

| Posted: | | | | A few Australians movies witch I’m really love very , very, much.
Quigley Down Under ( Simon Wincer ) Patrick ( Richard Franklin ) The Survivors ( David Hemmings ) Harlequin ( Again from Simon Wincer one of my favourite director. ) Picnic at Hanging Rock ( Peter Weir )
There are many others but theses are my favourites. And specially Harlequin !
I like very much the Australians Movies, and also the director’s from this country, Of course I don’t forget Mad Max from ( George Miller) this became a film Culte for many peoples. And also I remember the Psyco II 1983 (US Production ) but released by Richard Franklin it was not easy to working after Hitchcock, this film was not very appreciated by public , but Franklin make from this film a real homage to Alfred Hitchcock, a very good writing by Tom Holland and perfectly released by Richard Franklin .
Well that’s my opinion about Australians movies and my lover for those movies. | | | My collection | | | Last edited: by Runmovies |

| Posted: | | | | Has anyone seen Australia? It doesn't look like my thing, so I've not been to see it. Meanwhile, I'm due to rewatch some of Baz's earlier stuff. Someone I used to work with saw it and said a CGI canyon was added in! ![](/images/emoticons/laugh.gif) Meanwhile, I'm over this 44ºC (111ºF for those in the US) maximum, and I've done my best to keep indoors. | | | Adelaide Movie Buffs (info on special screenings, contests, bargains, etc. relevant to Adelaideans... and contests/bargains for other Aussies too!) | | | Last edited: by W0m6at |

| Posted: | | | | Ugh! The forecast is for 46ºC (~115ºF) tomorrow, and I have an 11am job interview in the city (where parking is uber-expensive, so I'll be bussing in)! Somehow I don't think shorts, thongs and a wifebeater is really going to be appropriate attire. | | | Adelaide Movie Buffs (info on special screenings, contests, bargains, etc. relevant to Adelaideans... and contests/bargains for other Aussies too!) | | | Last edited: by W0m6at |
