Glimpses of Bob and Hazel Hawke, Princess Diana and Kylie Minogue in The Newsreader’s S2 trailer...

Oh mannnnn the retro nerd in me is about to go absolutely FERAL 😍 KYLIEEEEEEEEE 😍 Holy crap we could get ‘I Should Be So Lucky’ or ‘The Locomotion’ in the sound track! I’m going to need a defibrillator if that happens! 😂

10th of September isn’t coming fast enough!

Update: It will be 'The Locomotion'! Here is the clip in question from the 1988 Bicentennial Concert!

Bob Hawke & A Promise Of Aboriginal Treaty

Australia’s most popular prime minister, Bob Hawke, tried to deliver a treaty with Aboriginal people back in 1988. Bob Hawke and a promise of Aboriginal treaty. He was unsuccessful because he could not get bipartisan support for a treaty from his colleagues back in Canberra. John Howard opposed the idea of a treaty in 1988 and remains opposed to the Voice today. What is the common theme here?…

Abbott After 100 Days : Policies versus the Pamphlett http://wp.me/p1D1R7-gM

There has been much written about the Abbott Government and its achievements in its first 100 days. They’ve even brought out a pamphlett of their achievements. But if one had studied their election pamphlett, the clues to their performance were already there. And the giveaway is mainly in the presentation and only some of the content! Which describes the last 100 days! The introduction stated the…

Flights of Fancy

Flight 326 is almost sold out, and you have to select your seat for that long haul flight overseas.

Which Combs do you think would be a nervous flier? Who would steal the arm rest? Who would keep their seat in the upright position the entire flight? Who are you sitting next to?

SUBLIME CINEMA #657 - ASTEROID CITY

Was lucky to catch this before it was released just about anywhere else, and I'm happy I did. Asteroid City is among Wes Anderson's best films, and visually it might be his most majestic - something that is hard to really quantify given that every one of his movies are objects of aesthetic perfection.

Love him or hate him, his films are audacious in scale, artistry, and freedom to experiment, and he does what he pleases. I find them cutesy but I also love that his movies are smart, and that audiences seem to respond to this level of intellect thrown at them without question (one of the central characters is nicknamed 'Brainiac', and he's surrounded by characters who are just as smart as he is.)

You could say Asteroid City is a stylistic leap, although it is still so familiar. What is different this time is that we are unsure of what is real and what is isn't; what backdrop might be digital, what might be Arizona, or what is a set, what is location. The bright teal and orange 'technicolor' looks completely out-of-this-world and yet it is all so comforting and nostalgic. There are enough details in the corners of each frame to fill out several feature films and warrant repeat viewings.

So what AFO quirks would fit well with pro heroes similar to the LoV, Class A and B, Yakuza, and MLA? Obviously, there are a lot of heroes so you could either disregard the teachers and save them for another post, or cover anyone you want. Feel free to include retired/dead heroes if you wish.

So I won't include the teachers, if only because there are enough of them to cover their own post, and just stick to the more prominent pros.

Fourth Kind-Transforming Arms: "Transforming Arms" lets the user change their arms. Fourth Kind has an extra set of arms. Ergo, the Quirk will be twice as effective with him.

Gang Orca-Air Cannon: This is mostly here to play off of Gang Orca's sonic attacks. With "Air Cannon", it be neat to see him augment and alter how those attacks are made.

Fat Gum-Shock Absorption: This may seem redundant on Fat Gum, but I prefer to think of it as something that emphasizes his strengths, removing a lot of the downsides that came from him wasting fat.

Endeavor-Super Regeneration: Considering Enji's greatest weakness is how often he keeps burning himself out and how power his defeneses are, this would slot in nicely to keep him from dying.

Gran Torino-Rivet: Not only will this help protect Gran Torino and offset his poor defense, but enhance his offense. The man basically becomes a human cannon ball with how he smashes into people.

Ryukyu-Hardfan Flame: So there weren't a lot of Quirks that paired as well with Ryukyu. So I just decided to go with the one that fixes a grievous flaw with her power. Now she can be a dragon that breathes fire.

Tora-Spearlike Bones: I really like the idea of him combining the two Quirks with his combat abilities to become this whirling dervish of bones. Plus it could combine in some fun ways with his stretchy body.

Captain Celebrity-Impact Recoil: It'd be interesting to see this combine with the natural defenses of "Flight", working to increase the barrier's resilience and having him be able to apply that resistance to other people.

Hawks-Shoulder Mounted Jets: Yes, Hawks can fly and he's fast. However, not only can this let him fly when his feathers are around, it could be used with the feathers to improve their speed and attack potency with jets of air.

Mandalay-Radio Waves: So this could lead to an interesting expansion when used with "Telepath". I can imagine working like some electronic telepathy by picking up and putting out signals, which would be super useful.

Miruko-Air Walk: I know this seems redundant with how far she can jump, but it's more to augment her combat abilities. She can turn any spot in the air into a landing point to launch herself at people or bounce out to get out of the way of attacks.

Kamui Woods-Muscle Augmentation: Kaumi Woods is already a pretty skilled Quirk user, but he's lacking a lot in direct power. I can just imagine him using these together to turn his branches into entire trees worth of wood like he was Hashirama.

Pixie Bob-Rivet Stab: Honestly, Pixie Bob is power enough that she doesn't really need any new tricks. I just went with "Rivet Stab" as I thought it'd be some neat interactions with her earth power, like stitching it into her Earth Beasts to make them tougher.

Ragdoll-Warping: Not only could this help out with Ragdoll's amazing support abilities by letting her teleport people around, but it's be interesting to see it combine with "Search", like teleporting people to anyone else she has marked with her power.

Best Jeanist-Tool Arms: So while this can be useful in giving him more direct damage, I picked this for another reason. You know those giant cables that Best Jeanist uses in bigger fights? Shame he can't carry those around with him every where. Until now that is.

Edgeshot-Storage: Now Edge shot can apply his flattening affect to whomever he wants be carrying them with him. Quite literally bringing them into the fold. Which just makes the Quirk extra terrfiying with his stealth as people just suddenly vanish as they're snatch up by him.

Mount Lady-Absorb and Release: Obviously, Mount Lady is a big target, so it's be easy to apply this Quirk and help expand on her abilities to block damage. What's better is that the downsides is meaningless. Taking damage to use the affect is going to be pretty meaningless with how big she is.

Sir Nighteye-Overclock: This may be the best one. Not only is this on theme with his whole time schtick, but it gives Sir Nighteye some much needed combat ability and would work well with his combat prowess. And who know how something like this would combine with his future sight.
