lesbiassparrowOh my God, Australia. How can a film be this magnificently awful? And what accent is Kidman sporting?
HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAA. Only 10 minutes in and tears of laughter are running down my face.
ETA: Hugh Jackman had better start taking his shirt off soon is all I can say.
ETA 2: Aaaand he does.
ETA 3: Was the writer aiming for the worst written film of all time award? I do hope he was.
ETA 4: "This land has a strange power." Indeed. Indeed. GOD EVEN WITH MY ALMOST UNLIMITED APPETITE FOR CHEESY CRAP, I AM NOT SURE I CAN FINISH THIS.
ETA 5: "Drove! Drove! Drove the cattle to Darwin!" THE ACTING. OH GOD THE ACTING.
ETA 6: "Woman, do you know what you've done?" It is so hard to say what is worse: the writing or the acting. Both hurt my brain. And I am delighted to know that every single person is Australia is gnarly or eccentric. Or both.
ETA 7: Is that Faramir? Hellooo Faramir.
ETA 8: Why is Faramir so evil? This makes me sad.
ETA 9: You all know the rubbish I watch on a regular basis. It should then be a sign of how awful this film is that I had to turn it off in the middle out of a sense of shame for everyone involved. I will admit that I turned it back on 20 minutes later, but only with my finger firmly fixed on the ff button. Even Kidman's frocks cannot save this one. And she has lovely frocks.

So I say, embrace the melodrama, embrace the cheese!! Don't try to fight it! And let's all write a fan fic where Tom Quinn walks into the north sea and washes up in Australia where he uses his man pain to be the best cattle wrangler he can be!!

I cannot tell you how much it saddens me that this fic does not yet exist. Tom Quinn would be an excellent manpained cattle wrangler.
