RR, "All women want romance, you must cultivate them, women have to be intrigue, they enjoy unraveling the mystery that is man, but you must allow them the freedom to discover you"

You write what I have lived, the plays I have done. the films I've made and the ones I've yet to make. I've played the role you love so much…. its all about fight, risk, adventure… we do what we do because the women are watching!

"We died, we fought again, Who are these men who are so fond of death one Spainard cried.
On and on they came, The with all things lost, We heard the trumpets of our returning troops
The battle was ours"

All true — ironically, while the depiction of the Zulus shows their primitive state, it avoids a cartoonish quality you often find in westerns' portrayal of indians. The effect is that one is left with the impression the Zulus were brave and honorable.

Peter Weir's last film I believe was Master and Commander. A film I loved and one which made me dearly hope for another from the series of Capt. Aubrey tales from Patrick O'Brian's seafaring novels.

Loved Aussie pics — didn't some of those directors move to Hollywood????? Beresford – Witness, etc.
Where are they now?

Great film, however, it too, is a tragedy. Basically a different war version of Kubrick's Paths of Glory. I really miss that era of fine films from Australia hitting the theaters in America.

MadMax, Gallipoli, Breaker Morant, Year of Living Dangerously, The Last Wave, and of course, Picnic at Hanging Rock.

Haha. Sorry about that. I swear, it ain't me! If I had a book, it'd be under my real name. (I think)

Great. I go search Amazon for "Schizoid," and you wouldn't believe the recommendations I'm getting now.

Thanks a lot.

How about "Breaker Morant"????? Have you ever scene such handsome manly men???? With lots of closeups, too.
