The Big Country is on 9Gem at 3.30pm AEST
Great movie (Facto disagreed with me) with a few lessons for today’s Insta youth, especially young blokes.

Not sure if it’s been mentioned in here but just started watching Clarkson’s Farm. As in Jeremy from Top Gear.
Pretty entertaining so far, I hear it gets a bit more serious later on as he takes issue with farming/government rules and regs.

The tattooist of Auschwitz.
Just finished this on Stan.
I’ve read the book but being reminded again what those people went through… fuck… I find it hard to comprehend that it’s real and wasn’t even that long ago.

Some great old footage here. Note Goldy and Sunny. Also briefly when the Bribie bridge was a toll bridge. Also for people that know the Apollonian pub at Boreen Point some brief footage of it in its original locale in Gympie. Film continues northward in Queensland along the Bruce.

Zen & I were getting into the difference between eastern and western ways of seeing the world.
There is a theme of the Japanese doing European fairy tales, and depicting European medieval stories. The first ones must have become available here in the early 80's along with shows like Astro Boy I guess. These were a series of beautiful fairy tales from my childhood - from what I can remember ABC must have run a Japanese company's early animated fairy tale series. I find the narration and story telling just wonderful, even today. Here's the Don Quixote episode:
OK so what was this? It was the 'Tales of Magic' series:
https://en.kinorium.com/292107/
And here's a playlist:
https://archive.org/details/TalesOfMagicVol01
I'd unironically recommend this as children's bedtime stories ahead of a lot of the stuff produced today! You get the eastern view of western mythology - told with tenderness and compassion.

Awesome VJ- back at my desk but gonna save it so I can appreciate it.
Tbh- that's why I kinda like Anpanman for kids. There's no violence, no jealously, no one-upmanship and no concept of money.

That's the way. Maybe watch out as the wolf might eat Grandma, we're talking 1970s here and much closer to the source material! Anpanman is great, you mentioned it after that manic mascot drummer, the idea of him providing food from himself for starving people is just so weird - but now I understand it.
Was watching Godzilla - Minus One last night, epic, recommended! (They got the ships right, too)

:) that one is like a fantastic fever dream Jelly. Definitely a Japanese setting and mythology in that one, endearing too.
Nausicaa is probably the favourite here, came across it when I was sent remote and it just came up on the hotel's SBS, forgot about it, then a few years later remembered & bought a copy for the kids. Ponyo is lots of fun too.
I've found some intellectual stuff on why Japan does cartoons of Euro settings like this, might link that up in a bit but for now let's just enjoy the links.

I watched your link last night VJ and enjoyed it so much. Cheers for that and the one above too.
Great breakdown of Sento Chihiro and other Ghibli movies Jelly. I have to admit, I'm not a huge anime fan but I enjoy the Ghibli movies- Sento Chihiro (Spirited Away) and Raputa are favourites. I actually stayed once in the Onsen Spirited Away is loosely based on- It's in Gunma and it was the hottest night I think I've ever experienced. Most of the guests had opened up their rooms and were sleeping on the tatami in the hallway. It was quite festive actually.
One of Studio Ghibli's most famous is Hotaru no Haka (Grave of the Fireflies). I defy anyone, man, woman, child even with the hardest of hearts not to tear up. I've heard grown men sob watching it. It's beautifully animated and gut-wrenchingly sad. The Jappies sure do cartoons well.

Can highly recommend "This Town", currently on SBS on demand. It is brilliant. Takes in the Troubles, Thatcherite England and the Midlands music scene (Coventry, Birmingham, think Specials, the Beat ,Funboy 3). Fun, clever and a great soundtrack. Rude boys.
