I really suck at guessing. Maybe Paul for Broken? Which was one of my 3 faves this round.

Quoted from stevie It’s funny but I’ve never written a script set in Oz for some reason. They’re always set in the US and the odd one in England if the Beatles are involved lol

So, which one are you admitting to? The one set in the US. Or England?
England or US.
US or England.

Your pick

Worth re-iterating again that the quality of the scripts, in the 72 hour window, with the constraints imposed by the challenge are nothing short of remarkable... this round and the other 4.

Quoted from khamanna So, which one are you admitting to? The one set in the US. Or England? England or US. US or England. Your pick

Kham's had too much sugar again.  
Which one, which one, which one!

I think the problem with setting a script in Oz is the slang and manner of speech we have. Overseas peeps would be googling while reading, trying to decipher a line of dialogue like this:

Hey shags, did you end up rooting that Seppo bird?

Yeah, mate. She went off like a ute tarp in a cyclone

Bloody ripper. Hey, chuck us another stubby of VB, will ya?

Hang on, digger. I’m trying to get this yabby on the hook


It’s easier for me to write about Americans and Brits as I’ve travelled extensively to those joints and follow the sports etc

My new feature is set in Nepal and the mini one after is set in LA lol

Quoted from FrankM No, it's the modern classic The Princess Bride. I do believe the Rodents of Unusual Size were from a casting call in Roosevelt Island

Oh, ok.

Been studying up on your Nepali slang, eh?

See Stevie I got all of that except Seppo... but then I'm an international film fan and quite happy with Romper Stomper, Wolf Creek, Chopper or Animal Kingdom...

Stevie, while that's true, we don't have to go stereotypical or lowest common denominator westie cliche stuff.

You should watch out for Brandon's new script - a sort of hybrid Crazy Stupid Love meets American Psycho,  all set on the Gold Coast.

Ben (AlsoBen) writes some terrific scripts set in Oz too.

Yeah, what Ant said.
Lantana, Jindabyne, Muriel's Wedding, Two Hands.
I could go on. When we get it right, we get it right.

Namaste, Frankie  

A funny story about my trek: one of the guides was a quiet guy early on. On the third day we could see these vegie plant things in the gardens in the villages but couldn’t work out what it was. I asked Mingma and after a few guesses at what he said - his English was ok but heavily accented - we worked out he was saying ‘bok choy’!!  So for the rest of the trek we would be walking past a some trees or bushes, and I’d say, ‘Mingma...bok choy’?  He would laugh out loud - ‘Yes, bok choy’!   It became a running joke the whole trek. He would always lead us on the trail and would suddenly point out to some far away plant - ‘BOK CHOY’.

Mingma would come around early in the morn to take our brekkie orders and the same for lunch and tea. Naturally we’d ask for bok choy most nights and he would piss himself laughing.  Fine times indeed lol

Ah nice, Ant.  A Seppo is an American - as in Septic Tank: Yank

Ah, got it...

Quoted from stevie Ah nice, Ant.  A Seppo is an American - as in Septic Tank: Yank

This is an insult to septic tanks. America is clearly a straddle trench.

But that doesn't rhyme... maybe we could make one...

Straddle trench - paddle bench, shortened to pado maybe or bencho

Quoted from AnthonyCawood But that doesn't rhyme... maybe we could make one... Straddle trench - paddle bench, shortened to pado maybe or bencho

Straddle trench - paddle bench
shortened to the pad-o-stench

I dont' know what I'm talking about really.
