i liked both, but doesn't suprise me to hear the guy is a massive cock.

how well does the humour translate for you non aussies?

Oh, it's hilarious, even though I'm not Australian. I think a lot of the themes are universal, although there are some little things that may not be apparent to non-Aussies, as it took me a while to figure out he is Tongan, etc. Still, the concept translates very well. I think it's frighteningly accurate...and Jonah is a riot.

it was cool as a non-aussie to learn the regional slang. i think its so interesting that the polynesians are talked about and dealt with in a very similar fashion to blacks in the US school system.

going to have to find copies of his earlier work you guys mentioned, but yes, the faux-documentary format is getting really played out. shit, i even did a short in that style for my high school senior film class six years ago (in the tradition of christopher guest, of course).
