I don't know what they're like in Aussie Land. Here, in CA (L.A., specifically), the suburbs are kind of entwined with city/industry; there is no country unless you drive out of your way to find it. Residences neighbor markets, schools neighbor shopping squares, and my local downtown area - which is fairly quaint - shares a couple of blocks with medical buildings. Definitely convenient, and definitely packed together.

But pop culture seems to paint a scene of stretches of dull, cookie cutter homes and a caricature of 9 -5 life where everybody knows everybody - and their business. The truth is, many communities here are pretty devoid of community, and nobody knows anything about anyone outside of Facebook.
Ah, that makes some sense. Cheers, brother. Our suburbs vary but they sound like they still have a little more life than the American equivalent you've described.

And many suburbs in America have more life than what was described. I still remember the block-wide cookout where my mother lived. Every month on a certain day the whole block would get together for a cookout. Good times.

All I can say about the notebook is it's a sad commentary on our nation and view of life when seeing a couple stay together through the years elevates an otherwise cliche story to one people are calling great. Not that it's not a good cliche chick flick story otherwise, but it really isn't that original or great in my opinion. But then again, I generally don't like modern chick flicks much, I prefer the classics.

Yeah, it was cliche. But I really don't watch chick-flicks so I only found it quite cliched. ;)

We should join forces and make a move where everyone thinks they can predict the outcome, and then turn everything around and annoy people :p

Or better yet, a move that goes against all move standards:

My dream movie

- The hero is neither American nor British
- He/ she isn't hot, just normal.
- The bad guy isn't from Russia, nor he is an American gangster with a bandana
- The hero is clumsy, the sidekick isn't
- If a car crashes, it doesn't catch fire , or at least doesn't explode
- If there is a shootout, both sides are as bad / good at hitting the target
(rather than the enemy firing 100 shots and missing all while the good guy fires one and hits)

... come to think of it, I bet no one would watch it :p
