what's your point?

Not a clear message. Maybe your trying to be too clever. Typical arty farty nonsensical presentation.

[radioffshore]

Yes, that's how most people respond to subtitled films.

[Much7]

FUCK U MAN! SERIOUSLY!

u have no idea how much effort we put in!

i dun know bout other faculty but seriously dance faculty work their ass off!

we start our class at 8.30am or 9am and finish at like 6pm or later like 7.30pm!

u have no idea!

DICK HEAD!

I hope the School of Puppetry is gonna be OK. Cos you know, some big names have come out of there...

[LovesToDance29]

you know what all i have to say is that i'm pretty sure i could do law with my eyes closed and you're only really jealous of the fact that the VCA holds a place for a human being with talent, passion, drive and a love for what they actually do! CLEARLY NOT YOU, YOU TALENTLESS FUCK!

oh and if your a student at melb uni...

i'll definitely be seeing you this year :) :) :)

@dancingchick7

lol agreed

@tomelifeisjustonebig

Merging the VCA with the University of Melbourne because of a few spelling mistakes is not a justified. A well rounded education depends on environment. There are educators with outstanding credentials working at the VCA who studied at places like Latrobe Uni. Eg, Tony Gould pianist and composer was awarded his Phd from Latrobe uni and studied at Melbourne Uni (bachelor). Obviously he found the Latrobe experience conducive to his intellectual needs. 

[rjberman25]

I remember I only got into melb uni arts on the subjective enter score scheme. Was considered a dumb arse and barely passed 1st year. Stayed there for a year... Went to Monash and got distinctions with the opportunity to do honours. Go figure... As for big names, bright lights and 'talent' per se having done the VCA foundations program in film I think Melbourne uni remains a 'dream machine' for conservative charlatans. Inevitably someone is left out..

[katesinger]

LOL you're the 12 year old!

[tomelifeisjustonebig]

If you're a VCA student, then yes, it is.

[radioffshore]

tomelifeisjustonebig...wank?

[tomelifeisjustonebig]

Unlike you, they have the writing ability of someone older than 12 though.

[katesinger]

theres some pretty dumb people at melb uni..in courses like bachelor of arts...if anything those doing the performing arts are much more intelligent. theyre doing more than sticking their face in a text book and regurgitating pointless information!

[tomelifeisjustonebig]

Hahahaha. You are retarded.
