The Movie Journey
2020-08-06 01:25:25 +0000 UTCAs an Englishman I can say that Chopper had a fair cult following in the UK once it got a DVD release at the beginning of the 2000s. I've seen it several times and now will dig out my copy and give it a re-watch. Brits born in the late 1970s or Early 80s were brought up on what was then an exotic diet of Sons and Daughters, Neighbours and later Home and Away. As soon as these individuals were old enough to drink, there was a good chance they would be served by an antipodean working behind the bar. This may explain why Australian movies generally found a loyal, if not massive following. Chopper himself is very reminiscent to us of our more notorious criminals especially Bronsan and as such is surprisingly believable as a character. This was definitely the UK's first exposure to Bana and certainly put him on the radar for serious film fans. great work chaps!

2020-08-05 01:21:46 +0000 UTCChopper is a great watch. Seen it countless times and never gets old. Hilarious film. I dont mind Melbourne, i'd drink it over VB. Fincher will be great. Dont think ive seen Panic Room since it came out and always forget he did The Social Network.

2020-08-05 01:18:04 +0000 UTCMaybe I'm a snob when it comes to my beer, it's not bad on a really hot summers day but you could probably say that about any beer 😂

2020-08-04 23:49:40 +0000 UTCYeah I remember enjoying it when he first started and I was surprised he was still doing it when I saw a poster for him performing in my town last year.

2020-08-04 23:48:19 +0000 UTCHeath Franklin, honestly I thought he was hilarious a decade ago... kind of gets repetitive after a bit though. I remember a chopper doing the weather report which was a pisser haha
The Movie Journey
2020-08-04 23:42:46 +0000 UTCIts really not that bad for a cheaper beer
The Movie Journey
2020-08-04 23:40:10 +0000 UTCLooking forward to climbing into some Fincher, Alien 3 is shit but Fincher can't be blamed for that, the studio fucked him on that one.

2020-08-04 23:31:19 +0000 UTCWhat are your thoughts on your local comedian who's gimmick is just being Chopper?
Chris Beardsell
2020-08-04 23:30:18 +0000 UTCHearing you two get super aussie on this one was hilarious to me, I lived in Melbourne for a couple of years about a decade ago and I was getting some serious flashbacks, also VB is a fucking trash beer
