It aided my growing cynicism of humanity.<br /><br />As for <i>Red Dog</i>, I am actually quite hopeful that it will be alright. I like the casting but the presentation of the story in the trailer made me squeamish.Julian Buckeridgehttp://www.atthecinema.net/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4327605674280773646.post-58604726989057038132011-03-18T02:39:35.506-04:002011-03-18T02:39:35.506-04:00Julian, I wouldn't put too much stock into the...Julian, I wouldn't put too much stock into the AFI crowd. My very first year as an AFI member and I witnessed a crowd of voters clapping at a screening of <i>Footy Legends</i>, one movie that trumps <i>A Heartbeat Away</i> for pure awfulness in my books. That one ended up going nowhere.<br /><br />Also, re <i>Red Dog</i> - you seem far more sour towards it than I, but those who have seen it quite like it. I think it could have a very solid <i>Babe</i>-ish quality to it if done right.Glenn Dunkshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05424659636310160482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4327605674280773646.post-84611833627102289862011-03-18T01:29:28.010-04:002011-03-18T01:29:28.010-04:00You know I agree, Glenn, but the strangest thing i...You know I agree, Glenn, but the strangest thing is that the people I talked to at the AFI screening really enjoyed it.<br /><br />I am scared that <i>Red Dog</i> will follow in this film's footsteps.Julian Buckeridgehttp://www.atthecinema.net/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4327605674280773646.post-70343925848707988092011-03-07T20:12:59.870-05:002011-03-07T20:12:59.870-05:00I know, right?

That Hoyts are bothering to distribute it (although their website had the date wrong and who knows how many cinemas it's actually going out to) is baffling.Glenn Dunkshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05424659636310160482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4327605674280773646.post-32473658890711007812011-03-07T02:44:07.087-05:002011-03-07T02:44:07.087-05:00Oh dear.

I'm afraid I must agree, I am honestly confounded as to why this movie is getting a theatrical release. <br /><br />Your The Room comparison made me giggle.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17245742125561982749noreply@blogger.com
