The softer side of Nautilus

I am not known as an emotional or sensistive person. I don't have a feminine side and am only in touch with my inner child when it comes causing trouble or displaying a childish response to emotional events.

But even a big, brute of a man like me, needs to show a softer side from time to time. So with that in mind, check out this new trailer for Where the Wild Things Are which will be released later in the year:


I am looking forward to this film, not just because I read the book as a kid, but also because a lot of it was filmed in Australia and Angus Sampson is in it.

Now that I have showed my softer side, here is a photo of me strangling a bear one handed (btw the pint is mine not the bears).

  3. Hey guys, you fight a bear and someone snaps a photo, there is a good chance it is going to look a little strange.

  6. Buy you one drink and they're suddenly all paws. Drink wasn't spiked was it?

  11. It's a deception kill the bear now while you have the chance before it rips your head off and kills you!

  12. Yep, there definately something going on with the bear in the picture, just look at the grin on it's face. I wouldn't turn my back of Mr Cute and Furry if I were you.

  13. Naut has that look that says 'sure, it was a good night, but I'm not sure bear is fitting in with my image'

  14. I would like to state that I have never had sexual relations with that bear!

    It was a simple, everyday man and bear trying to kill each other scenario.

  15. Not only is he looking at you with love...he's coyly attempting to hide his privates. Ahem. You is a bad man Tony! Bad!

  16. Ok, I refuse to discuss the bear any further. Anyone want to talk about Where the Wild Things Are?

    ReplyDelete
  17. Hourly rate or did you pay for the night?

    ReplyDelete
  18. Oh, another comedian. I'll have you know I didn't even pay for the bears vet bill!

  21. By the way, the creepy smile on the bear's face does make it seem like he's doing something dirty (and possibly illegal in 2 Australian states) to you.

    Oh, and back to topic, I saw the trailer for WTWTA on the Ellen Degeneres show (please get your "you know how I know your gay" jokes out of the way now, please....I walked into the room and it was already on), and immediately thought, "I'm seeing that on opening night!" I read it all the time as a kid, and have my own copy that I read to my kids...and can recite it from memory. During the Wild Rumpus, I actually chant "rumpus rumpus rumpus" over and over again in a very tribal sound, which my kids love.

    I haven't been this stoked to see a movie since "Miracle" was released.

  22. I even bet that was a pint of shandy Nauts drinking so there would be no 'mishaps'!!

    ReplyDelete
  23. BBA - Very droll!

    Steve - I feel like Natalie gave me the one two and I didn't even see it coming! If we lived in the same state, I would join you for the opening night of WTWTA, although if you started chanting I would leave immediately. They have played Miracle on tv a couple of times in the last 12 months, not a bad film!

  24. Jeez, you know you are in trouble when Chaz is calling you soft;-)

  25. I take not ruining movies very seriously, so not to worry, there would be no chanting. That's reserved for the book only.

    Miracle is, and there will be no debate here, the greatest hockey movie ever made. But, when your competition is a piece of shit with Emilio Estevez and the dude from Dawson's Creek, another POS with Rob Lowe and Patrick Swayze, and still a third POS with....am I reading this right? Holy shit, I am.....Russell Crowe! In a fucking HOCKEY movie!....then it doesn't take much to be the best hockey movie ever. You just have to be slightly better than "Slapshot."

    Miracle excelled simply because they decided it was easier to teach hockey players to act than actors to play hockey (just ask Russell Crowe).

    ReplyDelete
  26. Yeah, having the pros shows in Miracle.

    I didn't think the Russell Crowe one was too bad, probably because my best mate is Canadian and plays hockey here, so the idea that Russell Crowe can play makes me think I can too.

    ReplyDelete
  27. I was once told that Canadian hockey players that come play in US universities do so because they suck too bad to get into the minors. I can only imagine how bad one must be to have to resort to playing in Oz.

  28. He's ok, but he is never going to make a living from it. It's funny we have about 6 teams in Melbourne but only 1 hockey rink.
