Deep Pencil - the musings of Morgan Bell

 
If a tree falls in the woods and nobody is there to hear it did it really make a sound? If i post a blog and nobody reads it was there really any point? You have entered the random thinking space of Morgan Bell . . . These are my musings . . . things about my life written off the top of my head . . . written in an informal disjointed style almost completely devoid of punctuation, this is where i flesh out writing ideas, discuss my life, and generally be self indulgent . . . it is also the bargain bin for articles which do not fit in with the film or arts themes of my other blogs . . . so have a wander around my mind, have a laugh, have a think, be nice, and humour me!

Ive really Out-Boganed myself this time . . .

A old school friend invited me to see Heath Franklin's "Chopper", and I went, and I laughed.

I thought it would be too low brow for me, but apparently there is no such thing as low brow where I'm concerned, I laughed along at "Chopper" swearing at people for two hours and thought it was just great.

One of my good friends got sent to jail the other day, she got nine months for vandalism.

Also this week, one of my friends partners got ordered by a court to pay the medical bills of a man he smashed the front teeth out of in a bar brawl.

Ive been drinking whiskey distilled in a friends neighbours backyard.

I found out another friend of mine used to have a meth lab in their garage.

On Anzac Day, while my friends were playing two-up, a man approached me and said "I only live two blocks away? Are you feeling horny? Because we could go back to my place and have a root!" . . . ahhh no thanks, charming offer but mate (I dont know you name because you never introduced yourself) I think you need to go back to dating and romance school!

Is it really any wonder that "Chopper" was right on my level?

Morgan, if I didn't get it wrong, Eric Bana has been starring as the "Chopper" in the movie: Chopper in year 2000! Well, it's a very hilarious movie, although I didn't love it very much!

hi Wilson,
yes i saw that movie, Erin Bana was very good in it, he put alot of weight on for the role
i think Heath Franklin's stand-up routine is based in part on the Eric Bana portrayal
thanks for the comment

Hi Morgan,

To be frank I don't really see a need for this in our society. It's just romanticising the life of a violent criminal. Chopper is such an infamous Australian underworld figure, who is out on the loose and honestly, I'd hate to live any where near him.

So why do Australian's enjoy watching a comedian pay homage to a violent murderer? I will never know.

Note to self: Turn any drink or hang out invites with Morgan down - you will end up a crack addict or with no front teeth.

Did I just type that or am I thinking this?

LOL - you are scary Morgan. Total Gansta

hi Mau,
its become a bit of a trend in Australian entertainment, from Ned Kelly to the recent success of the Underbelly series, Aussies love their crims
i can see that "Chopper" is certainly not everyones cup of tea, and some of the humour was in really bad taste



hi Jason,
unless you already are a crack addict with no teeth youre probably not getting an invite haha
im really enjoying getting back to my roots . . . ahem, origins, not have a root at my house around the corner type roots . . . im thinking theres gotta be a screenplay in all this somewhere!

"I only live two blocks away? Are you feeling horny? Because we could go back to my place and have a root!"

Is some red-education order? Don't you realise your duty as a woman is to be flattered by and take up ANY kind of male attention?

Know your place woman!

I will gladly remove my dentures for you Morgan.

Write that screenplay - I know too many film makers that need to make something good!!

hi Jason,
oh i bet you say that to all the boys!
whenever i watch a "quaint" Australian movie like The Castle or The Dish or Black Balloon i think yeah its similar to real life, but wheres all the crime?

I loved this movie when I saw it years ago. Eric Bana was FANTASTIC in the role. What also came from this movie, is that Chopper could have well falsified having committed all the crimes just to look big.

Does that make me a bogan too???

Comment by Morgan Bell

hi Janet,
i think it makes you a little bit bogan
what a strange character the real Chopper Reid is
in the comedy routine he constantly has a beer in his hand, much the way the real Chopper is whenever he is interviewed
