Newcastle, the Movie

The clip I posted yesterday was indeed from the movie “Newcastle“. I went and rented it yesterday afternoon. It was perfect for the rainy, post Mardi Gras day we were having in Sydney. 

Newcastle is a real city, a couple of hours North of Sydney, with a steel industry background and working class residents. The movie is really well shot, especially for a small budget movie. The cast are all spectacularly beautiful but can act as well. Having grown up in a rival “Steel City” south of Sydney, also on the beach, it’s an environment I know well. I think that might be why I found a lot of the guys really hot in the movie. They are the kinda guys I used to see all the time at the beach about the time I was hitting puberty and as I’ve theorised before, I think that’s about the time I locked in the kinds of guys I like.

Such a shame

We are in the midst of the Sydney Festival at the moment here in Sydney, which means there are events going on all over the place like concerts, plays, and all sorts of stuff. There used to be a rival Sydney Fringe Festival every year as well. I’m not sure if that still happens but one event in the fringe festival doesn’t happen.

The Bondi Twighlight nude surfing competition used to be a very popular event but due to unruly press photographers and too many spectators it was canned. Such a shame. It’s definitely something that I think should be brought back!

Surf Camp is here!

Take 5 guys, give them surfing lessons with a cute Brazilian guy and vote them off one by one and you have Surf Camp! Head on over here to vote after you’ve watched the boys, Ryan, Jesse, Brennan, Josh and Ben take their classes from Rafael, below.
