	Chris Watson - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		John Christian Watson (9 April 1867 (exact date uncertain) - 18 November 1941), Australian politician and third Prime Minister of Australia, usually known as Chris Watson, was born in Valparaíso, Chile, probably on April 9, 1867.
		In 1894 Watson was elected to the New South Wales Legislative Assembly for the country seat of Young.
		Watson knew his government could not last long, and he knew he had no chance of passing any of the (mildly) socialist measures in the Labor platform, so he carried on with the legislative program that Deakin had abandoned.

		At the annual party conference in March 1894, Watson outshone even William Holman and WM Hughes in his role in establishing what would become the key principles of an Australian Labor Party: the authority of the party conference, the role of the executive, the parliamentarians’ pledge and caucus solidarity.
		Watson was elected to the new Commonwealth parliament in 1901 as Member for the New South Wales seat of Bland, and held this seat until becoming Member for South Sydney in 1906.
		Watson was commissioned to form a government – the first national labour government in the world – in which he served as Prime Minister and Treasurer.

		Watson may have obscured knowledge of his real father and name; he could have been challenged as a member of the House of Representatives under s.44 of the Australian Constitution, on the grounds that non-British subjects were ineligible to stand as candidates for the Australian Parliament.
		The evidence of Watson's concealment of his origins is as ambiguous as the versions of his family background that the otherwise careful and proud Labor leader allowed to stand in the public record.
		Watson emerged as the first chairman of the new National Party in 1917, the political machine that Hughes and Holman exploited, with the support of their previous non-Labor political enemies, to continue in office federally and in New South Wales, and to organise another, even more divisive conscription referendum in December 1917.

	SPLICEDwire \| "Equilibrium" review (2002) Kurt Wimmer, Christian Bale, Emily Watson
		The plot -- brazenly pillaged from "Fahrenheit 451," "1984" and "Brave New World" -- concerns a high-ranking government "Cleric" named John Preston (chisel-featured Christian Bale), a ruthless and deadly law enforcer in a "Metropolis"-styled dystopian future where emotions (and by extension, music, art, poetry, etc.) have been outlawed.
		Instead he hides the puppy in the trunk of his car (a modern sedan discount-retrofitted to look laughably "futuristic") and embarks on a mission to single-handedly overthrow the system.
		Bale has been known to embrace cheesy movies before ("American Psycho" arguably, "Reign of Fire" certainly), and he's so good at ham-fisted performing that it's impossible to tell if he's taking this movie seriously or if he knows he's hip-deep in crap.
