The thing that right-on dullards fail to address is how racial stereotypes spread if there's no basis for them at all.
Germans ARE frequently humourless etc. For fuck's sake I haven't the time or the inclination to get to know the entire world's population personally, so of course I will generalise. Anyone who claims not to do the same is fucking lying.

You mean national stereotypes

Technically there is only one race of humans so yes, I suppose I do.

Agreed
I know very few Australians and it's a long fucking way away so obviously I will riff on their perceived lack of culture, although the failure of an entire continent to thus far produce a truly classic film is a pretty poor show.

Bad Boy Bubby is a fantastic film

Cat in cling film
Demented film, but brilliant.

Haven't seen it
But I shall seek it out. Various people have told me that The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert and Mad Max are fantastic films, so I remain skeptical for now. Because they were wrong.

yeah didn't get Priscilla either
some fine actors but it looked like it was made with shit and sellotape.
(Zoz prayed for twink on, Fri 8 Jul 2011, 15:22, Reply)

Agreed on both counts
I've no problem with low-budget films - Night of the Living Dead was very obviously made for ten pence - but a working plot and sense of purpose would be nice
(Darth Foxtrot A one-man army dedicated to making fetch happen, Fri 8 Jul 2011, 15:24, Reply)

Well I thought Priscilla, Queen of the Desert was great
and a definite classic so there

Oh and Mad Max is definitely also a classic

when you cross an opium poppy with an salad onion

I had those. My Uncle Ray said "Merve Marrow" funny because of his loads of big teeth.

I was majorly confused by the chives
because we were common, and I dodn't know what chives were. Or how to pronounce the word.
