Australia is a piece of shit Country

but a terrific movie. The first hour and a half followed a typical shitty action/adventure movie formula and the last hour was a pretty decent war story that made up for it. It really shed that Steve Irwin/Crocodile Dundee image and put Australian culture under the microscope, which needed to be done. They're in their equivalent to the Jim Crowe era right now, and they were committing acts of genocide against the aboriginals up until the early 20th century. It bothers me that people treat the island like some sort of paradise with all the terrible things that go on there.

A lot has happened since i forgot i had this. Dropped out of school, spent some time in a psych ward, went back to school, started another band, made the mistake of smoking crippy (the Jacksonville equivalent to hydro... and for my more domesticated readers that's highly potent weed) while on a mood stabilizer before band practice and possibly ending that band last week. If my brain ever recovers from that I'll try to tell that story with some form of cohesion.
