Is Australia Burning?


I hate to admit it, but the attempts to market Australia as the next Gone With The Wind with all that campy romance novel clinch have worked on me like hypnosis. I don't really care if the film is filled with enough shirtless Jackman to make Matthew McConaughey watch his back. And whatever, the overuse of the word "crikey" may seem like a misguided Steve Irwin tribute. I'm still there. Now I just have to convince my husband to come with me.

If he won't go with you, I will! Hugh Jackman's manliness totally makes up for Nicole Kidman's eerily lineless face and flat emoting. And now that True Blood is finished for the season, I need some camp!

(PS: Your McConaughey line had me spewing tea out my nose!)

Deal! In fact, it would be more fun to go with you. There would be less eye-rolling coming from the seat next to me.

"...filled with enough shirtless Jackman to make Matthew McConaughey watch his back." - hahaa, that's awesome.

Oh yeah, I'm all over it too, if only for Nicole Kidman's outfits and to see that seen with all the lanterns ;)

I don't care about the reviews. I don't care what the naysayers say....I'm seeing this movie and I. Can't. Wait.
