Great commentary, I love the rewriting ones. And it’d make a pretty sweet musical, so go get on that.

As a side note, as this movie was pre-Firefly so it would’ve definitely been pre-Buffy for Nathan Fillion, because he didn’t come onto Buffy until after Firefly was cancelled. He was in the back half of Season 7.

Oh, and I found it weird too when I went to the US for the first time and encountered homeless people and peoples' attitudes towards them. Not that we don’t have homeless people in New Zealand, because we do, but we don’t have very many, at least not in Wellington. And at least twice in the past 10 years, the death of a homeless person in Wellington has made front page news, not because it was a dramatic or shocking death but simply because both people were well known in the city and it was of interest to people when they passed away.

He’s also right about the religious aspect – in New Zealand politics, if you start going on about religion (of any kind) as part of your campaign you will be quickly marginalised. Whether voters are religious or not, it seems to be a fairly unified consensus that politics and religion have very little to do with one another. Of course there are Christian parties (well, a couple) but nobody takes them very seriously.
