Fried Green Tomatoes (1991)

Should I see it?
Yes…well…

One of the better “chick flicks”. Supported by good performances from Kathy Bates, Mary Stuart Masterson and Mary-Louise Parker, this self-adaptation from Fannie Flagg’s works well on screen. The one huge flaw in the piece is the ending. The final resolution is horrific – absolutely horrific. It’s played as being humorous but it is despicable. Forgiving the final moments (if that’s possible) there is many of positive elements to the movie.

“Rush Hour” director Brett Ratner's gay experience…

Saturday, March 29th, 2008

Director Brett Ratner has another “Rush Hour” movie coming out with Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker returning for a third go-round. The Advocate has a free-wheeling interview with this anything goes director who shares a story of his first sexual experience that will blow your mind. Here’s the juicy part:
Q. Rush Hour 3 follows a trend in action films. Being gay has increasingly become a punch line. It happens several times in this film.
A. Which ones? Where? I don’t remember.
Q. What about when the girl takes off her wig and Chris Tucker becomes angry and accuses her of being a man?
A. No, no! That’s from my personal experience. My first blow job was from a man, but I didn’t know it was a man. That’s where that comes from. It’s based on personal experience. It happens to a lot of people.
Q. Is that common knowledge?
A. No! Well, among my friends, but I’m not homophobic or uptight about it. That happens to a lot of heterosexuals. You meet a girl in a bar, and it turns out she’s not a girl. I think a girl should tell you if she’s a girl or a man–that way it’s your preference. It’s comedy. Look, in this movie we don’t pull any punches. We make fun of black people. We make fun of Chinese people. We make fun of French people. We make fun of gay situations. We make fun of whites. It doesn’t matter. It’s the type of movie it is. It’s a fish-out-of-water comedy. You have to have those types of situations to have the comedy. That specific idea was because it’s happened to me. It’s happened to my friends. We’ll get together with a girl, and it’ll turn out to be a guy. The reaction is “Oh, shit!” if you’re not gay, which is funny, I think. Getting into the situation is funny. I laugh whenever I see one of my friends talking to a girl, and I’ll ask, “Is that a man or a woman?” It’s funny, especially if you don’t know about it. If you know about it, fine. If that’s your preference…

Top gaining queries in June

Friday, March 28th, 2008

Posted by Alex Heat, Account Associate

The month of June witnessed another mixed bag of weird and wonderful search terms gaining ground on the Google Australia Zeitgeist.

It seems Australian Google users had a great love for heavy metal music this month. Punk rockers were among the fastest growing search terms including local band I Killed the Prom Queen falling in at number one, followed by My Chemical Romance, Fall Out Boy and German industrial metal band Rammstein.

And what do we like to do whilst listening to our heavy metal, well…. eat of course! This month’s top gainers highlight how we Aussies are certainly food lovers of all varieties. Sweet tooths had a passion for Krispy Kreme doughnuts, while the naked chef himself, Jamie Oliver cooked his way into our hearts after becoming part of our regular TV viewing.

Teen queen Sophia Bush from T.V. show One Tree Hill showed us where her three teen choice award nominations came from and American actress Emma Roberts’ portrayal of fictional heroine Nancy Drew got our search fingers twitching. Locally based singer Amy Pearson has been in our thoughts following the release of her debut album, coming in at number twelve.

A mixed bag of Pirates, spiders and Spartans appear to be quite the favourite. Johnny Depp’s Pirates of the Caribbean proved that sequels are just as good making the journey from our cinema screens to our searches, while heartthrob James Franco from the Spiderman series was also much admired. The 300 movie proved that Spartans with spears are very engaging.

Now it’s not all fun and games, some serious online shoppers investigated the best place to buy handbags and some eager mums wanted to know how to cash in their Baby bonus.

In the end, people just want to be entertained. Cirque Du Soleil’s hit show Varekai is currently touring Australia.

For breaking news and obscure information alike, Australians are searching on Google. What follows is a summary of Google Australia Zeitgeist results for the top gainers on Google.com.au.
