Quicksilver Posted May 21, 2007 Report Share Posted May 21, 2007 By country' date=' I meant like farmland. I've lived in Australia my entire life, and it annoys me how anyone could possibly associate Australians with that stereotype. If any person lived like that they'd have a pretty lazy life, but it's unheard of wherever I go.[/quote'] I can understand your argument, I apologise if you believe I am stereotyping us. It may be where you're from, as on this side of the country, there a plenty of examples of this. It's the kind of image that Australian films are based off and the kind of stuff that makes Australians look stupid to the rest of the world. Excuse me? If you are saying that the Australian Film Industry poorly portrays Australia' date=' I have two words for you; Get Out! The Australian Film Industy is very select, not only is it EXCLUSIVELY targeted at Australians, it also targeted at certain states. Try finding an Australian movie on the Internet Movie Database (IMDb.com) that has a rating above 7/10. Some of the greatest ever films were Australian. The first ever feature length film was Australian. They are rated poorly, because all the sad American people get bored and go and rent films from the international section (which includes Australian films), and they hate it, because they don't understand it. They are ours, and if you don't like 'em, don't watch 'em, I can hardly believe you are a born and bread Australian. And what films would you be refering to, by the way?[/quote'] Let me think of all the annoyingly iconic movies that really love to insult our intelligence:Crocodile Dundee (decent, but unfortunately most of us don't carry knives like that in real life.)CrackerjackThe Castle in our defence:Wolf Creek (disturbing and exaggerated, but well made never the less.)Ten Canoes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danilus Posted May 21, 2007 Report Share Posted May 21, 2007 Wolf Creek is a quality film, Lets try to stay on topic shall we? Iron Maiden - The Number Of The Beast "Woe to you, Oh Earth and Sea, for the Devil sends thebeast with wrath, because he knows the time is short...Let him who hath understanding reckon the number of thebeast for it is a human number, its number is Six hundred andsixty six." I left alone my mind was blankI needed time to think to get the memories from my mind What did I see can I believe that what I sawthat night was real and not just fantasy Just what I saw in my old dreams were theyreflections of my warped mind staring back at me 'Cos in my dream it's always there the evil face that twists my mindand brings me to despair The night was black was no use holding back'Cos I just had to see was someone watching meIn the mist dark figures move and twistWas this all for real or some kind of hell666 the number of the beastHell and fire was spawned to be released Torches blazed and sacred chants were praisedAs they start to cry hands held to the skyIn the night the fires burning brightThe ritual has begun Satan's work is done666 the number of the beastSacrifice is going on tonight This can't go on I must inform the lawCan this still be real or just some crazy dreamBut I feel drawn towards the evil chanting hordesThey seem to mesmerise me ... can't avoid their eyes666 the number of the beast666 the one for you and me I'm coming back I will returnAnd I'll possess your body and I'll make you burnI have the fire I have the forceI have the power to make my evil take it's course Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frunk Posted May 22, 2007 Report Share Posted May 22, 2007 Let me think of all the annoyingly iconic movies that really love to insult our intelligence:Crocodile DundeeCrackerjackThe Castle Three of my favourite movies' date=' what a coincidence! [b']Crocodile Dundee has done nothing but good for our (Australia's) economy[/b], people were intrigued by this man and his behaviour and spent big on trips to the Great Land Downunder, to see it's interesting people, places and wildlife. Crackerjack is about lawn bowls my friend, can't get much more Aussie than watching old folks rolling balls on a Sunday morning, apart from playing cricket on Saturday. What section in a video store would you find Crackerjack? It's a comedy!! The Castle is arguably the best Australian comedy ever. Judging by the fact that you didn't answer my question about your age, you're probably not old enough to understand any of the above films' importance to our country's more recent development. Wolf Creek is a fine film, there's no denying that fact, but I really can't see why your would consider Ten Canoes that much of a masterpiece, I've seen the film, and I'll have you know, I found it entertaining, but nothing special. No one's going to watch those films and go 'Is every Aussie like that?', no one is that stereotypical. My deepest apologies for going off-topic Danilus, but this offends me to no end. Edit: A perfect example of Australia being independent and it's own nation is the song 'Jack Off Australia', which is also by Chris Franklin. No, it's not about what your sick mind thinks, but it's about our flag, however, the lyrics are still too inappropriate for this site. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quicksilver Posted May 22, 2007 Report Share Posted May 22, 2007 Quiksilver: FRUNK IS AUSTRALIAN.I came to that conclusion a while ago, I was just saying that I don't like the way that song portrays Australians to the rest of the world. Still, to each their own opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tkill93 Posted May 26, 2007 Report Share Posted May 26, 2007 With blood shot eyes I watch you sleepingThe warmth I feel beside me is slowly fadingWould she hear me if I called her name?Would she hold me if she knew my shame? Theres always something different going onThe path I walk is in the wrong directionThere's always someone funking hanging onCan anybody help me make things better? Your tears don't fallThey crash around meHer conscience calls the guilty to come homeYour tears don't fallThey crash around meHer conscience calls the guilty to come home The moments died, I hear no screamingThe visions left inside me are slowly fadingWould she hear me if I called her name?Would she hold me if she knew my shame? Theres always something different going onThe path I walk is in the wrong directionThere's always someone funking hanging onCan anybody help me make things better? Your tears don't fallThey crash around meHer conscience calls the guilty to come homeYour tears don't fallThey crash around meHer conscience calls the guilty to come home Oh! Yeah! This battered room I've seen beforeThe broken bones they heal no more, no moreWith my last breath I'm chokingWill this ever end I'm hopingMy world is over one more time Lets go Would she hear me if i called her name?Would she hold me, if she knew my shame? Theres always something different going onThe path I walk is in the wrong directionThere's always someone funking hanging onCan anybody help me make things better? Your tears don't fallThey crash around meHer conscience calls the guilty to come homeYour tears don't fall [tears don't fall]They crash around meHer conscience calls the guilty to come...BETTER!
