'Location, location, ejection!'

So........you may remember that last year they filmed part of a Hollywood Blockbuster just up the road at Archerfield Airfield. The film was San Andreas and we went to see it the other night. We did spot the few scenes they did film near us but you could have blinked and missed them......and they were filming here 3 days for that!The film, about a massive earthquake, has not had great reviews, but then the lead actor used to be a wrestler. It was very tense, however and I wriggled in my cinema seat like a small child with ADHD hardly able to watch at times. I doubt it will do the San Francisco tourist industry any good.....but if you must go make sure your hotel or apartment is on Nob Hill.Coincidentally they are filming another huge film here at the moment......Pirates of the Caribbean 5 with Johnny Depp and (spoiler alert) Orlando Bloom.....who we thought died in one of the previous films. 'Captain Jack Sparrow' has been popping up on the news every night happily greeting waiting fans after he comes back from filming out on Moreton Bay. My guess is he is trying to garner favour here after recently sneaking his dogs, Pistol and Boo, into the country.When the illegal immigrants were discovered there was a great hoo-ha with the Agriculture Minister, Barnaby Joyce officially stating on the 6 o'clock news "It is time that Pistol and Boo buggered off back to the United States," threatening that if they weren't they would be put down.Of course they did leave......by private jet, quite soon after. It was not made clear which of the pair piloted the plane.Heck! It would seem that some Hollywood actors don't think international quarantine laws apply to them.
