Me too! And Nicole Kidman was the name I was trying to think of down there when I got lost in Hugh Jackman land. She and he will be starring in Australia coming out late this fall. Looks like another Titanic.

Ooh, that's not necessarily a good thing. LOL

I wasn't too impressed with "BIRTH." A pretty big disappointment. Now a good reincarnation movie (it was a trendy topic in the 1970's) was "THE REINCARNATION OF PETER PROUD." Probably looks dated now, but it used to come on tv quite frequently in the 1970's.

Don't be so quick to judge. It is getting alot of positive publicity. And remember, Titanic still leads the Dark Knight in total $$, and TDK probably won't catch up the way things are going. Even though lots of people sneer at Titanic it was a huge hit, and lots of people love it, including me.

I'm just eager to learn more about Australia. Especially now that I have Brokie friends there.  :D

Is it going to be like THE THORNBIRDS?  It was one of most watched tv miniseries of all times. Maybe the movie industry is hoping to tap into that sentiment.  Of course, you can't mention THE THORNBIRDS to some ppl without the phrase "He's gay!" being stated afterwards.  Did Richard Chamberlain's coming out destroy the fantasy for some.

I have heard it described as an epic set against the background of war, akin to Gone With the Wind (different country and different war, though).

I hope not, because it's exactly that thinking that keeps gay actors who might want roles in straight romances from being able to come out.
