http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sVhoG3UEh 3k Written by Grant, starring Robert Vickers, this is a fascinating Go-Betweens artifact. | ||

Wow, Allan. That was incredibly fun. Thank you for posting the link (and posting the film if it was you who did it). I wish Grant had been able to explore his screenwriter interest further. | ||

I didn't post it, merely found it on YT today. I just watched it again and love it so much. there are some beautiful lines in there, very Grant. Mr. Vickers looks fantastic too (as always). I think i'm going to start a go-betweens on Youtube thread. I found an amazing clip of the band doing "cut it out" live today | ||

Wow, what a find. Hitchcock meets film noir meets Wake In Fright. I met Robert Vickers a few months ago after he played with Robert in Brisbane. He has barely aged in 28 years. He must have some picture of Dorian Gray in his attic. He's a lovely man, as well as being good looking. Robert Forster and Grant wrote a film script in the mid-90s. It was about a guy arriving in Sydney from Brisbane. | ||

Hitchcock definitely, with a dash or two of early David Lynch in the imagery and themes. | ||

Check out Wake In Fright if you can Allen. Best Australian film ever made. | ||

Padraig, I've definitely heard of it, due to the big reissue on video last year, and it sounds very good. I do think I'll have to wait for the right mood to hit me, though, as I'm parcelling out my diet of dark and brutal stuff a little more sparingly these days. | ||

'Robert Forster and Grant wrote a film script in the mid-90s. It was about a guy arriving in Sydney from Brisbane.' Any more info on that item? Last I read, in Rolling Stone about a million years ago, is that Robert showed it to somebody he knew in the film industry and it was destined to never see the light of day again.. | ||

I did ask Robert about it one time Paul. I can't remember what the answer was though. I'll dig out the tape one day... |
