Priscilla, Queen of the Desert and The Castle are both absolutely iconic movies for millennials and Gen X, and I can’t believe I never saw them in America. I mean, Hugo Weaving giving a thoughtful performance on 90s LGBT struggles, in drag, with dialogue on trans life at the time. (Cis actor aside.)
@hacks4pancakes Two other aussie classics to add to the watch list are "Malcolm" and "The Dish", if you haven't seen those yet.
@hacks4pancakes also Muriel’s Wedding, Bran Nue Dae, Mad Max 1/2/Fury Road, The Sum of Us, Rabbit Proof Fence, Babe, Don’s Party for a snapshot of 1970s Aussie “humour” – and finally Crocodile Dundee just so you can cringe at it like we did & complete your journey to the Aussie side… 🤪
@itgrrl @hacks4pancakes @cafuego lots of these are free to watch on Brollie too!
@decryption @hacks4pancakes @cafuego
#TIL that Brollie☂️ exists 🙃
@cafuego Gettin' Square too, maybe @hacks4pancakes
@voltagex @cafuego @hacks4pancakes two hands!! nice slice of sydney in the late 90s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D2JmLpnASv0
@hacks4pancakes with the latter there are probably so many interactions you’ve had with Aussies that you’ve never realised were just The Castle references 😂
@lilstevie I also want a jousting stick and I would absolutely buy one on marketplace
@hacks4pancakes for that much though?
@lilstevie @hacks4pancakes *bursts through wall* TELL ‘IM HE’S DREAMIN’
@hacks4pancakes Hugo Weaving can do anything. He could play a compelling toaster oven, dude is so talented.
I once saw him in the Museum of Contemporary Art in Sydney.
A compelling tour de force of a man thoughtfully appreciating modern art. 5/5.
@TheLastOfHisName @hacks4pancakes
His brief for The Matrix was kung-fu toaster oven...
