Yeah, they likely did wear tweed and spend a lot of time in the pub, try to remember it's a film. Something being a period piece simply means it's set in a certain time period. The help in Downtown Abbey probably wouldn't have been as well treated as they were in the series but it's a period piece all the same.
So your main gripes here are the 'picturesque' tweed and the fact they spent a lot of time in the pub. Okay.

Id love to see them do this to 2 Micheal Crichton novels, Sphere and Congo. Theyre very good books, but the films just dont do them justice.

I got you. Did you like Aaron?

"I saw it when I was a child".
Fine, but we don't know how old you are.
You could have been a child 5 years ago or 50.
Either way, maybe the 1988 Alice?

I haven't a clue, but can't wait for someone to answer.
On another serious role note, he's in the movie The Perfect Storm and plays a fisherman. Not the lead role, but a solid contributor throughout the film.

This sounds like the 1999 live action version of Alice in Wonderland. The "people puppets" in that one always freaked me out as a kid, but I haven't gone back to this one since the 90s so it might not be as bad as I remember.

Sounds kind of like the flashback scenes from Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey when they're in Hell.

I remember watching Frontline when it first came out. Awesome show. Feels like Utopia is written by the same people. Rob Sitch probably. Never watched Hollowmen. I’ll check it out. Thank you. I remember another one based on preparation for Sydney olympics called “The Game”. It was so funny. In the same style as Utopia.

No, I think it’s just that they will be required to invest a certain amount in local programming. Making it local focused will make it less valuable for overseas markets. I expect the only shows with Australian focus will be wildlife or travel. However, there may still be Australian filmed shows where they are set in Australia, but it is not the sole focus.

No, I actually had a google after posting and it turns out the movie rights in 2014 reverted back to Edgar Rice Burroughs Inc. They are shopping them around hoping to kick start a franchise.

Oh nice. Thats good news. So there saying "Yeah we will fund you but we need returns"? I like this idea as the art's are a minefield of conmen. Big fan of Comedy. Check out this dude Aaron Chen. This guy is Australia's next comedy ledgend and is totally underated :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GHJFTWX-Kv0

Oh I get it now, yes i have seen that Jared Cult thing, but I didn't pay much attention to it, that's crazy stuff, and i don't like that at all.

He is a fairly successful cult leader at this point, and we all know how that sort of thing tends to pan out.

Reality tv is cheap to make and previous quotas seem to be based on hours of broadcast tv, so low cost, churn it out model works best.
This seems to be a quota of production based on revenue rather than time, so it seems it would make most sense to make shows that are most valuable internationally. I would expect generic dramas or comedies, but some high quality content too.

I'd be interested in knowing if there's any films set in Ireland you consider to be a good period piece. Have you ever watched the field? I'd also be interested in knowing if you're at all familiar with rural Ireland today.
