WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU ALL???


What is wrong with you people???? Seriously??!!!

You see a film that is a bit "grungy" and possibly "avant garde" but you people don't know jack!!! Let's face it; this film was a sad and sorry excuse on the directors part just to see a highly sexed up teenage girl on screen. Don't you deny it Mr Goldman, and don't any of you bleedin' heart morons try to defend him!

The truth is, that this film is a pile of crap and none of you people have any balls to admit it! Sure enough, it's winning all the awards and praise... but look at what else you morons decide to make! And when there is something of decent quality, you people slander it because you're all too stupid to understand what this business is all about!

People go to movies to escape and relax! You know why? Because people's lives suck (YES, EVEN YOURS). Your lives suck because you have to face things like work, ruined relationships, failure, family issues!!! And Mr Paul (I'm-so-arty-and-clever) Goldman comes along and what does he decide to film??? Huh???

STARK REALITY!!!

Why the hell do we want to see that? We live it every god damned day (no offence to any absurdists out there). I mean do you have rocks in your head, Goldman?!

It's about time you as the audience stop sucking up to these so called artistic moron filmmakers and take a stand! Get off your asses and stop liking stuff because it's "riske" and different"!! It is not different, it is not riske and it is definetely not cinema!!

You wanna know why the Australian film industry is bust??? This film is the perfect f#@$%^g example!!!

And one more thing; sure this film may express our culture and be a good example of Australian suburban life. But I ask you, why the hell do we as Australians want to know about our own everyday culture??? It's not as if we've forgotten it!!! We live it for Christ's sake!!!! And as for Americans...they don't care.... they have Texas and school shootings...their culture is far more interesting compared to ours, they really don't want to see this crap!!!

So in future, (and I hope Paul Goldman is reading this), refrain from making this crap and try to put your efforts into something that doesn't make me wish I was being reamed with the business end of a shovel instead of watching!

Kind regards, John on-the-verge-of-homicide Citizen!!!

it's certainly flopped at the box office. it barely made the top 20 for just two weeks...personally, i think aus audiences have had enough of really dark, mean films after macbeth, book of rev. and now this flopping. While they have come in droves to kenny
what ya think?

Well in my opinion you to take into consideration that films like Suburban Mayhem, Macbeth and The Book of Revelation only got a selected cinemas release while films like films like Kenny and BoyTown got a wide release. If you think about it in a way a film with a selected cinemas release isn't going to be able to make as much money compared to a film in a wider release. This is how I see it.

Kenny started small and earned it's way to the big cinemas.

Waiting for:
The Fountain
Borat
Fur
Stranger than Fiction

Thank you for showing us the error of our ways. Now I realise that all I want to see on a cinema screen is shiny people smiling and laughing and going through minor mishaps before reaching a happy ending.

I don't mind seeing movies that are pure entertaining escapism, but why would you want to put a stop to anything different? I personally see movies to feel emotion, whether it be happiness or sadness or fear.

Oh, but unless I'm seeking happiness I'm being a moron? Thanks, man. I like that. I also like that you think that people only like (claim to like?) this movie because it's different. Macbeth was different. Book of Revelation was different. I didn't care for either of those movies, though.

Although I'm not about to tell people who did like those that they're completely wrong and stupid.

Go see your escapist fun. If you accidentaly catch a film that shows a bit of unpleasantness, please don't bother us about it.

emily is the fav to win the best actress AFI which is on tonight so we will wait and see hey

This film is for a specific audience so it is no wonder it didnt do to well at the box office... But it is thoroughly enjoyable..

My question is what is wrong with you to have to go on the internet, find the film and post about it.. obviously made an impact on you then didnt it

You said, "People go to movies to escape and relax!"
That may be why you go to movies. You don't speak for other people though, do you!
Your reasons are not my reasons so get off your horse.

Dear John on-the-verge-of-homicide Citizen, it's "risque" not riske", and while I'm here I'd like to suggest a little anger management for you.

reply

Texas and school shootings??
Is that all you get from my country?

sad man, really sad.



I have a better understanding of Aussies than you do of us.

Dude... you need to chill. I personally enjoyed this movie. Unlike you, I don't need to go see Borat or Scary Movie 15 when I go to the theatre to be entertained. Stop liking stuff because it's different? Are you a complete idiot? That is the main reason why it is so good... because it isn't the same crap you see all the time. Speak for yourself and give an opinion, but dont tell people how they feel, think, or act. That is just a sign of how weak and incompitant you are. My life doesn't suck... at all. Everyone has problems every now and then, but I love my job, I love my wife, and as far as Im concerned, failure at things is a learning experience to better yourself. You may hate youself, your life, your family, or whatever, but you have no reason to write a book on your feelings about it all and mask it as a movie review. If you want to start your own personal blog to complain about how much you suck at life, go ahead. If a film is bad, people would admit it's bad, regardless of who wrote it, directed it, or starred in it. You don't need balls to rag on someone you will never meet. You are probably just jealous you didn't think of the idea yourself. Why? Because you are a poor pathetic loser, and they are all rich stars. You wasted my time by making me read your rediculous, one-sided, narrow minded review. Every single paragraph of your post had nothing to do with the movie. And to say that American's don't care because we have Texas school shootings is absurb, rude, and hopefully someone shoots you one day and as you lay dying, you can remember that no one will care because you don't deserve to live and you are a waste of space.
