What holds South Sydney back can be attributed to lack of funding, but it also is possibly attributed to too many cooks spoil the broth.

Living in LA would be like unrolling my swag in the office. I just don't think it would be healthy, mate.
above carpet directing gigantic later looking minute points seems somehow
Directing is like looking at the stars on a cloudless night. You get away from all light sources, and you look up, and you see 50 points of light. And a minute later 100 and another minute later 1,000 and then 10,000. And then this swirling gigantic carpet above you, and somehow it all seems to connect.

It was really nice to come down, see a good, solid win, ... It's the last time I get to see a game this year in Australia and it means that in the five weeks so far that they've had Cinderella Man (an advertising patch for Crowe's recent movie) on their jerseys, they've won four out of five.

wind land wire
Anyway, I'm doing my rave and this spittle comes out of my mouth and it winds its way very delicately through the wire fence that separates us and lands clear and bright on Denzel's lip. And we're at the beginning of the scene and I've got to do the rest of the scene, and the camera isn't on him, it's on me - and I'm fully aware that I've just spat on Denzel Washington!

accepted best boxing character commission depression fact great jim kept life moment money pain piece security shows single social taken trying villain wear
Jim had to go on the dole, but he didn't wear the pain on his sleeve. He accepted it and kept trying to do the best he could for his family. The Great Depression is a character, and I think the villain in this piece is poverty. If there's a single moment in Braddock's life that I think makes him important in history, it's the fact that he went to the Social Security Commission and repaid the money he'd taken when he was on the dole. That shows you more about his character than anything in his boxing career.
