非常感谢你的推荐。

不过就是vigemin 没歌词。

"We're Happy Little Vegemites"

We're happy little Vegemites
As bright as bright can be
We all enjoy our Vegemite
For breakfast, lunch, and tea
Our mummies say we're growing stronger
Every single week
Because we love our Vegemite
We all adore our Vegemite
It puts a rose in every cheek

楼主八过 Simon Baker了吗？

层主是因为mentalist喜欢他的吗？记得在电视上看过，不过不喜欢犯罪片，又因为屎沟飞的嫂子在，就没看下去。

看介绍，貌似还不错。

On 14 February 2013, Baker was honoured with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame for his contributions to the entertainment industry. Baker's star can be found at 6352 Hollywood Blvd.



似乎澳洲去美国发展的明星挺抱团的，simon baker和妻子rebecca rigg是naomi watts，nicole kidman的好朋友，她们分别是他们第一二个孩子的干妈。

原来她们三个早年在澳洲时就认识。

I think I'm beginning to have a thing for Aussies. Simon Baker, Sam Worthington, Chris and Liam Hensworth, I'm telling you. Australia has good talent and gorgeous men.❤️

另一位有名的lesbian，Ellen DeGeneres的partner，Portia de Rossi。


她，把自己的姓改了（意大利姓），口音改了（美音），性取向也。。。？做她的母亲真不容易啊。


https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portia_de_Rossi

De Rossi, born Amanda Lee Rogers in Horsham, Victoria, Australia,[5] is the daughter of Margaret, a medical receptionist, and Barry Rogers.[6] Her father died when she was nine years old.[7] She grew up in Grovedale, a suburb of Geelong, Victoria, and modelled for print and TV commercials as a child. In 1988, at the age of 15, Rogers adopted the name Portia de Rossi, by which she remains best known. In 2005, she explained that she had intended to reinvent herself, using the given name of Portia, a character from William Shakespeare's The Merchant of Venice, and an Italian last name. She was educated at Melbourne Girls Grammar School and the University of Melbourne, where she studied law.[8]

De Rossi has confirmed, in an interview with the Daily Mail, having struggled with anorexia nervosa throughout her teens and young adulthood, from which she credits the love of Ellen DeGeneres and her intensive treatment for having saved her.[9]


During this time in the United States, de Rossi worked diligently to replace her Australian accent with her current American one.[10]

口音很重要吧？虽然第一代移民还没什么资格谈口音。。。

《荆棘鸟》的作者Colleen McCullough。


非常不满意美国拍的电视连续剧。
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvsho ... onic-TV-series.html

'The filming was done in Hawaii, there was only one kangaroo on set and everyone sounded American except Bryan Brown, whose Oz accent stuck out like a dingo's bits.'

这一段对理解这本书很有帮助。
'We were poor white trash. My father was an Ulsterman, a sugar cane cutter and a terrible miser. My mother married him to escape her family. He married her because he wanted a slave. They hated each other from the word go.'
There are echoes in the book of her own painful life. For example, Dane, Meggie's son, drowns. This was the tragic fate of McCullough's adored brother, Carl, who in 1965 lost his life aged 25 while rescuing bathers who had run into trouble in Crete.
'I still miss him so much,' says McCullough. 'I can barely talk about it. My mother never forgave me for living and my brother for dying.
'Meggie in The Thorn Birds is basically my mother. I detested her. Can you imagine writing a 280,000-word book and hating your heroine? She was everything I despise in a woman. She suffered and, worst of all, she enjoyed suffering.'

昨天看了她的另一本小说《Tim》拍成的电影，由Mel Gibson演Tim，在澳洲拍的，澳洲的生活，澳洲的口音，很感人！

1981年，John Williamson就担心澳大利亚的价值观在渐渐dying out，那现在呢。:o

https://wherethebloodyhellareyou ... 12/08/27/true-blue/

The song “True Blue” written by John Williamson is a very iconic Australian Song. It was a song that resonated with the country in 1981 when it was released and continues to be a symbol of Australian life and mateship. The song itself portrayed Australian language with the use of slang like, “smoko, true blue and fair dinkum,” these colloquialisms convey so many aspects of Australian life and values.

The concept of the true blue is a national symbol of an Aussie who gives everybody a fair go, stands up in the name of mateship and are loyal and hardworking.

The song also mentions this concern that Australian values and this concept of a “true blue” may be dying out. He also mentions being straightforward and kind and touches on the resourcefulness of the Australian people.



Hey True Blue, don't say you've gone
Say you've knocked off for a smoko
And you'll be back la-ater on
Hey True Blue, Hey True Blue
Give it to me straight, face to face
Are you really disappearing
Just another dy-ying race
Hey True Blue
True Blue, is it me and you
Is it Mum and Dad, is it a co-ockatoo
Is it standin' by your mate when he's in a fight
Or she'll be right
True-ue-ue Blue, I'm a-asking you
Hey True Blue, can you bear the load
Will you tie it up with wire
Just to keep the show on the road
Hey True Blue
Hey True Blue, now be Fair Dinkum
Is your heart still there
If they sell us out like sponge cake
Do you rea-eally care
Hey True Blue

True Blue, is it me and you
Is it Mum and Dad, is it a co-ockatoo
Is it standin' by your mate when she's in a fight
Or she'll be right
True-ue-ue Blue, I'm a-asking you...
True Blue, is it me and you
Is it Mum and Dad, is it a co-ockatoo
Is it standin' by your mate when he's in a fi-ight
Or she'll be right
True-ue-ue Blue, True-ue-ue Blue

这首也不错。



Rip Rip Woodchip
John Williamson
What am I gonna do?
What about the future?
Gotta draw the line without delay
Why shouldn't I get emotional?
The bush is sacred
Ancient life will fade away
Over the hill I go
Killing another mountain
Gotta fill the quota
Can't go slow
Huge machinery
Wiping out the scenery
One big swipe like a shearers blow
Rip rip wood chip
Turn it into paper
Throw it in the bin
No news today
Nightmare dreaming
Can't you hear the screaming
Chainsaw I saw more decay
Remember the axeman knew their timber
Cared about the way they brought it down
Crosscut black but tallowood and cedar
Build another bungalow pioneer town
I am the bush and I am koala
We as one go hand in hand
I am the bush like Banjo and Henry
Its in my blood gonna make a stand
Rip rip wood chip
Turn it into paper
Throw it in the bin
Don't understand
Nightmare dreaming
Can't you hear the screaming
Stirs my blood gonna make a stand

A Beautiful Mind Ending Scene



Nash: [Making an acceptance speech in front of the Nobel prize audience during the ceremony] I've always believed in numbers, in equations, in logic and reason.But after a lifetime of such pursuits: I ask What truly is logic? Who decides reason? My quest has taken me to the physical, the metaphysical, the delusional, and back. I have made the most important discovery of my career - the most important discovery of my life. It is only in the mysterious equations of love that any logic or reasons can be found. I am only here tonight because of you

Nash: [looking at and speaking to Alicia]

Nash: You are the only reason I am. You are all my reasons. Thank you.

[applause from audience]

当年Nicole介绍Russell给Tom Cruise认识，那么多年过去了，他们才第一次合作The Mummy，原因一定是Nicole了。。。
Russell都是Oscar winner了，为什么Tom Cruise没有得Oscar奖呢？？？

http://www.smh.com.au/lifestyle/ ... 0170522-gwaovh.html

"We've known each other since 1992. We met - there will be a few names hitting the floor here - we were at a barbecue at Naomi Watts' house and Nicole Kidman, who was Tom's wife at the time, introduced me. She brought him over to where I was sitting. The most amazing thing was that I was talking to, at the time, the biggest movie star in the world, and he had been introduced to my films by his wife, so he was asking me questions, not the other way around. It was a pretty amazing experience and we have been friends ever since.

"When [The Mummy] came up, it felt like the right one."

"I've known him for 100 years and when we were standing on set, I was like, 'I cannot believe that we haven't done this before.' When he said he would play Doctor Jekyll I was so excited to see what he would do with that character and have the opportunity to finally work with him," Cruise said.
