^ I watched eXistenZ again very recently after not seeing it since it came to video (ah, to be in my 20s again). Donald Sutherland would be my choice of actor too, and I like Voivod a lot.

^ Cool, Greg!
BTW, the John Tyndall I put on my list is a man born in 1951. Read a couple of his poems and really liked them. When I GoogleSearch, the Irish prominent figure with the same name but from an earlier century appears. Edited by Archisorcerus - April 20 2024 at 12:59 |

^ Canadian like me think of Neil Young as Canadian, but he did become a US citizen a few years ago and is mostly residing in the US now.
I went Swiss for this, but came up quite short (thus some lame humour as filler). Krokodil is another band I like from there. Switzerland Band: Brainticket Album: Pictures by Island Swiss band I want to check out more: The Young Gods Swiss films: Had to look up. It lists The Three Colour Trilogy as partially Swiss, but I have only ever thought of that production, which has long been a favourite of mine, as being French/Polish. Swiss Theme for TV: The Austrian Family Robinson, oh wait, I was thinking of Bangladesh. Swiss pocket utility knife: Is that even a thing? Swiss Army: Is that a thing, and if it was, would they carry spoons and forks? Swiss Cheese: the Swiss aree not known for making cheese. |

^ I regret not adding songs to my lists (something I commonly like to focus on). I jut listened to the Spell, good stuff. I actually had checked out this band before because I enjoy metal with folk, doom, and goth qualities (as well as post-metal, stoner, sludge...)

^ Top Of The Lake is brilliant and also starred the great Scottish actor Peter Mullan ( I forgot to pick an actor for my Scottish selection but he would be it). I didn't realise Split Enz were on PA until a filtered a best album list by country. The top album is Mental Notes from 1975 and that's also a surprise as I had them down as one of those many post punk new wave bands that sprung ip in the 80's. My favourite song from NZ is undoubtedly Weather With You. That and McCartney's Listen To What The Man Says are my favourite songs to hear in a beer garden on warm sunny day with a cold beer in hand. For actor maybe Anna Paquin although she was born in Canada but raised in Wellington. True Blood was superb. Always good to discover a fun fact or two and when I googled her I found that she is married to the very talented actor/director Stephen Moyer and also born on the same day as Elizabeth Moss (wow must have been some strange voodoo sh*t going on that day!). Agree a little bit on Peter Jackson's early shlock horror films being perhaps is most fun stuff (Braindead especially) although are you including the films The Frighteners (Michael J Fox) and Heavenly Creatures as well? Of his later films They Shall Not Grow Old is an essential educational film about WW1 (the so called Great War). Technical masterpiece.
