This is sure to become a film or a book by page two.

I guess I could try and give the Bacardi Razz a bit of a knock tonight for the Swans vs. Dockers game.

It's only right.

Dockers?
Do they play in down to earth priced slacks that are both comfortable and flattering?

judasmuppet · Post by **judasmuppet** » 21 Sep 2006, 22:01

No, they wear tight shorts that are uncomfortable yet flattering.

"Dockers" is one of this nation's attempts to give a sports-team a name that isn't a direct rip-off from the US.

The Townsville Suns (basketball) were advised to change their name by Charles Barkley or someone. They are now known, more appropriately, as the Townsville Crocodiles.

Steve Irwin >>>>> Charles Barkley.

Crikey! Russ wants to play Steve
September 25, 2006 - 12:48PM

Oscar-winning Australian actor Russell Crowe wants to play Steve Irwin in a film based on the life of the late Crocodile Hunter.

The actor - who has repeatedly spoken of his affection for friend Steve after he was tragically killed, aged just 44, by a stingray - is in talks with Universal Studios about making a biopic.

Crowe, 42, is desperate to make the movie as he feels it would be a fitting tribute to the wildlife expert's life.

An insider told In Touch Weekly magazine: "It's not about money for Russell - it's about honouring his friend.

"Steve once told Russell that he wanted him to play him in a movie version of his life."

A public memorial was held for father of two Steve last Wednesday. His eight-year-old daughter Bindi read out a tribute to her dad and a pre-recorded video message from Crowe was broadcast.

The Gladiator star said: "We've all lost a friend, we've lost a champion, and we're going to take some time to adjust to that."

Other tributes came from Australian Prime Minister John Howard, Dances With Wolves star Kevin Costner and Cameron Diaz.

Australian TV executives are already in talks about releasing a DVD of the memorial service which was attended by 5000 people.

Chris Buckley or Jeff Buckley?

Chris isn't dead...yet.

He'd make a lovely bio pic though.

Well, they made movies about 911 so I guess nothing is sacred. We could pray for a wardrobe malfunction as Crowe becomes croc chow in a lonely muddy river somewhere.

Call off the hounds:

Crowe's fury over Irwin role
September 26, 2006 - 9:29AM

Australian star Russell Crowe has angrily denied reports that he is set to play crocodile hunter Steve Irwin in a movie immortalising the daredevil naturalist.

Crowe, a good friend of Irwin who was killed by a stingray barb earlier this month, said he was appalled at suggestions that he was planning to star in a biopic, just weeks after the Australian's death.

''It's appalling to me,'' Crowe said in an interview with television show Extra to be screened here later today.

''(It) offends me very deeply, so awful that I have to deal with millions of people thinking I would dance on my friend's grave,'' Crowe said.

Reports said Crowe was already in talks with Universal about playing Irwin.

One story cited an anonymous ''insider'' who said Crowe once told Irwin that he wanted to play him in a movie version of his life.

Oscar-winner Crowe made a recorded tribute from New York for last week's memorial service for Irwin.

''We have lost a friend, a champion. It will take some time to adjust to that,'' Crowe said in the tribute.

Crowe said the worldwide outpouring of grief that greeted Irwin's death reflected the deep affection in which the environmentalist was held.

''He proved that the enthusiasm with which you greet people is often reflected,'' Crowe said.

''Some people see him as just a funny bloke on TV and he was a funny bloke on TV, but he was really serious about what he did!''

Crowe also said today that he quit a movie about the Australian outback co-starring Nicole Kidman because he doesn't do "charity work" for major studios.

He had been scheduled to star in the as-yet untitled film directed by Baz Luhrmann, but dropped out and was replaced by another Australian actor, Hugh Jackman, in June.

At the time, no reason for the cast change was announced.

"I just didn't want to work on that movie in the type of environment that was being created because of the needs of the budget," Crowe told reporters while promoting his new movie, director Ridley Scott's A Good Year, in New York.

"I do charity work, but I don't do charity work for major studios."

The Luhrmann movie was due to begin production this month, but has been pushed back to February because of scheduling conflicts and budget debates with 20th Century Fox, says the industry newspaper Hollywood Reporter.

A spokesman for 20th Century Fox had no immediate comment.
