If anyone has seen 'Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil' will know what I'm talking about (Even then Jack Thompson was typecast as being a lawyer again as in 'Breaker Morrant').
Now when 'Original Sin' was previewed to Australian critics they all groaned that Jack Thompson was again playing a
southern lawyer type.
Jack Thompson is a very versital actor and seeing him in American films where his roles reduce him to only playing southern gentlemen is a farce.
Could casting agents please not cast Jack Thompson as being a Southerner? Give the man a bit more credit, try putting him in some more challenging roles for starters.

fuckland The title is a pun based on the film's lead actor Fabian Stratas' deliberate mispronunciation of Falkland, a reference to the film's setting and a rather less than subtle allusion to the secret agenda of its protagonist.
Fabian is an Argentine national, an amateur magician passing himself off as a tourist visiting the Falklands soon after it is reopened to its people. His master plan is to win the ultimate struggle by seducing and impregnating the local females, commencing with the delicious Camilla,thus siring an entire generation of half Argentinians. Fuckland creates the illusion of a documentary and maintains a fish-eyed perspective that gives the film a voyeuristic flair and intimacy. (ARGENTINA)

Having just seen the re-release of Gimme Shelter I was blown away by the naivety of surroundings of this era. It's funny how you view the footage of Altamont Speedway compared to the barriers and laminates of modern day concerts. You just have to remind yourself that this actually happened and that no pen could ever write such a saga. The footage in Gimme Shelter' is the closest rock music has ever come to a scenario quite like Jonestown.
