Maybe a moot point, but if residuals don't kick in until 2 years after cinema release*, there probably won't be that much money to pick up, for anyone.
*Which, as I understand it, is what Jackson was offering.

Hey Petra, thanks for the Onion clip. I probably sounded depressed due to having to use this horrible computer instead of my MacBook, and appreciate the thought.
It's not all slave labour
Look, let's get one thing straight. Film work pays well. The big point about working in film, for crews more than actors most of the time is that the hours are usually horrible. No life outside film, for weeks and months (or years if you worked on LOTR). Actors have their own problems and challenges working on film, but as the discussion has never gone there yet, and at so many pages one wonders who has the stamina and interest to even take that on board for even more pages, I will leave that out.

(If someone can explain the complexities of posting the file I'm happy to upload it for your reading pleasure.)
Can you just copy and paste it, Graham? Or is it a bit more complex than that? I haven't unravelled how to link, so can't help you there. But there are some folk who do, who I'm sure will help you.

Late in on this, but yesterday was so lovely; a day to be out looking at the sea, and people, and basking in the sun.
The Aussie words that had me convulsed was when several of my family went to a furniture shop in Sydney to buy a wedding present (pressie) for my brother. We asked the assistant where we'd find certain items, and he began pointing around the store "hee" and "hee" and "thee" and "thee".
Priceless.
And I don't know about one-syllable for Australia: the pronunciation I notice is - Ostriya.

Heavens! Pages ago! but Webweaver - can't let you get away with saying this:
But it's inaccurate for Whipp to claim that actors are the only ones in NZ that get offered unbalanced contractor agreements.
because the quote didn't say actors were the only ones.

And now chilluns, go outside in the sunshine. It's a very beautiful day.

Just hope Fran never pisses on the china, because that's just gross.
Well, it would be a rinse of some sort if you're worried about soap residue. And, by all accounts, wee is supposed to be sterile.
