I keep on rooting for the military to win. I care that little for the blue people.

I think classification evolved though

The easiest way historically is to use a combination of grants and tax breaks. ABC used to pump out some amazing content but sadly the network had a huge amount of its funding continuously stripped over the 12 or so years that we had libs in power federally. At the very least they really need to specify the sort of content that they want to mandated because "More Australian content" is incredibly vague and as I mentioned inevitably leads to more reality garbage getting pumped out.
Either way, the government is attempted to fix this issue without spending money which just isn't an effective way to reach desirable outcomes with respect to encouraging quality content.

and yet when “woke” films are made, the anti-woke crowd gets so offended that they review bomb it

Reply to comment by Dinky_Nuts in “You People” Obama cigarette joke, uncreative, inaccurate and offensive? by [deleted]
I do.
However, himself and his wife are on the record saying he smokes Marlboros. I have no stock in Phillip Morris or reason to make this up I promise.
Not to mention, if they are Newport Reds my point is the same. The joke is predicated around the menthol stereotype and Newport being the historically “Black” cigarette as they only produced menthols in most markets up until around the late 90s early 2000s and it was argued their advertising often appealed to the “colored community.”

Saving Sarah Connor

I get a little chocked up at the end of First Blood and a particular scene in Rocky 3 when Stallone cries. Heck, even the new directors cut of Rocky 4 has a new scene where Sly let's loose (and it should've stayed in, imo).

He’s been pretty busy calling out chicanery in recent years.

If you couldn't care, why comment?
Of course you find it funny other countries watch stuff from other countries.
You're American. The only time you're aware of other cultures is when you're looking at them through a bombsight. And even then you don't know what you're looking at.
You're mad other countries don't treat the outside world like you do, with fear, suspicion, and ignorance. And that's why you had to weigh in.
America is unique in its xenophobia.

I haven't seen it since the theatrical release, and as I remember it wasn't a great night out, so that may have colored my opinion. I'm glad it held up for you and was fun.

And what's your suggestion to fix it, eh?
There's plenty of Seppo shit on air here that's just as bad.

Tom Cruise was probably the most surprising since it isn’t something you see from him usually.

We don't need content laws though, as multiple people have pointed out it always ends up leading to more garbage reality tv getting created because it's cheap and easy to make. There are better ways to encourage the creation of Australian content without ending up with another variant of 'the farmer wants a wife'.
