Why are there no good movies about Australia and Australian culture?
Why are there no good movies about Australia and Australian culture?
There is
Wake in fright
The castle
And Young einstein
what culture?
dude beer and vegemite LMAO
thats not culture
is life in australia as depressing, nihilistic, violent, and substance addled as snowtown, animal kingdom, wake in fright, round the twist, romper stomper, the rover, and underbelly makes it seem?
underrated kino
mia wasikowska in the movie tracks
Wolf Creek
mad max?
Yeah there is: Mad Max 2. Perfect encapsulation of what Australia's like
Brisbane
Brisbane used to be laid back, but now it feels like a rat race with all the aggression of sydney
Brisbane without a car you're confined to the central business district or Fortitude Valley, neither of which are great walkable areas. You can get to Southbank too but you have to take a bus over the Victoria Bridge to QPAC which is a nightmare
Fortitude Valley is a no go zone, the gay nightclub district of Brisbane, where all strippers whinging about guys not tipping them and homeless people everywhere always begging and trying to start fights
Fortitude Valley station where people are just sleeping on the sidewalk, pissing and shitting, drinking, shooting up drugs
Homeless everywhere, loudspeaks with automated voice tell cunts not to ride bikes or vape in the mall
Strippers everywhere
New tents cities are popping up across the Brisbane CBD
No jobs
lot of meth heads around George st, especially near the corner for turbot and George near the old hotel
driving has become complete shit in brisbane, parks and sidewalks have so much litter now aswell
Surfer's Paradise is Homeless Paradise
mass immigration hub that the CBD has become
Sydney and Melbourne are more expensive. All our jobs are there. Brisbane and Perth are just country towns in comparison
Toowoomba units are more expensive than ones near brissy and goldie
St Pauls Cathedral lets homeless people sleep on their grounds from 6pm to 6am
The top of queen street seems to be a magnet for drug effected people screaming at each other
terrible traffic, floods most of the time , pretty boring suburbs. M1 to get away is choked on most peak hours
Paddington, Ann Street in the CBD, Fortitude Valley, Teneriffe, Hamilton, Clayfield, Kalinga, North Lakes, and Redcliffe are completely fucked
First two to three seasons of Rake
Yes.
cast him
round the twist
most definitely yes
why are australians so... docile about their cultural standing and circumstances?
Because it's a desert shithole and they have no culture.
>round the twist
This shit is not worth watching again as an adult. Enough of the forced nostalgia posting.
Cast Him.
because the government and mainstream aus media are.
Every Western nation is overly docile about its current cultural circumstances. I hope you're not a burger and you're saying this shit.
if you didn't read every post itt in your most exaggerated straya accent, yer a cunt
mr inbetween but im not sure it's even australian culture
Yes. There’s also a fuck load of Indians and Chinese here to make matters even worse.
What are the downsides to living in Straya
Picnic at Hanging Cock
Wake in Fright
Walkabout
Crocodile Dundee
Roadgames
Long Weekend
Razorback
Turkey Shoot
Mad Dog Morgan
BMX Bandits
Felicity
Stone
Pure Shit
I hope you're not a burger and you're saying this shit.
the fuck do you think Kamala's America would look like 3 and a half years from now you swine
Indians. Nanny state laws. Housing is expensive as fuck.
what would your lapel look like without all those 'fell for it again' awards?
infinity immigrants and you can't afford to buy a home and start a life
nanny state that is run by neurotic women (this will get far worse when millennial woman come to power)
the Aussie Man, or Bloke no longer exists, covid exposed them all as pushover weak faggots who "do what their missus says"
most Aussies are bitter socialists at heart and don't want to see the cunt next to them do better, the recent gov has just started taxing unrealised gains (insanity) and the average socialist Aussie loser cheers it on out of spite
what about that movie about the australian townies who killed and tortured some pedophile, and then started killing people who weren't even pedophiles
Kek, I knew it.
Tell me again why Trump talks about the situation in South Africa but doesn't mention Palestine. Go on.
Sydney
avoid newtown, redfern, surry hills, campbelltown, blacktown, bankstown, king's cross, cabramatta, punchbowl, lakemba, penrith, liverpool
CBD means "Chinese Business District"
Lives and breathes construction and trades
Newcastle and Wollongong are actually more fucked than Sydney right now
Aussies living in share houses until they’re 40
You need to earn 130k (top 10% salary) to comfortably (30% of net income) an average apartment now in Sydney
Debt increases on their HECS loans due to indexation as well, so every year they don't pay it back it just goes UP AND UP
Every time I go out I hear foreign accents everywhere
Sydney's not as good as Melbourne, it's more dense and less pleasant
If you don't own a house in Australia you are basically stuffed
Homeless everywhere because they don't have the references or aren't considered good enough to get the housing available for rent or sharing.
Indians lower our wages because they're willing to work for min wage and free overtime
Very little is made here any more. All I can call to mind straight away is Bundaberg drinks
A car is crazy expensive to insure, maintain and register, that's minimum 5k a year for repairs, maintenance and fuel.
Going to uni is pointless if you're doing it to make money. Everyone does a trade.
Constantly told that we need China and India for the economy
Every race self segregates into their own suburbs and communities and there’s a general hatred for people who aren’t in your race
Public signs in Sydney and Melbourne CBD are written in both English and Chinese, as well as Public Announcements in major transport hubs like Airports
Snowtown?
lakemba
i just bought in roselands, is it over for me?
Best I can do is a music video but keep in mind that even this was from the 1980s when Australia had its own unique identity. Today it's just another generic globalist outpost.
youtube.com
Aren't they cleaning that shit up for the Olympics?
yeah that's it. good film
reddit spacing
phoneposting
M-M-MUHHH PALESTINEEE!!! FREE PALESTINE!!!!!
this is an ozzy thread. your derangement psychosis is still so troubling despite being so banal.
Because the only people that care about palestine in the US would rather drop dead than vote for Drumpf? Literally asking why Democrats don't campaign on banning abortions lol
>reddit spacing
This doesn't exist. I've been posting on Anon Babble since Digg was still around and was the "reddit" of the day.
Reddit spacing was a false purity spiral that was made up by post 2016 newfags so they could larp as old guard and fool the later waves of newfags. No oldfag has ever seethed about space posting.
And you're kvetching insanely hard right now. You good, anon?
The effort to astroturf all noticing about Palestine as being lib coded is psyops to stop a unified political front against it.
Maybe it's because I don't live in Melbourne or Sydney, but my life in Australia fucking rules by comparison to most places I've visited. I literally could not imagine ever accepting any of the job offers I've received from companies in the US or Asia.
The first three Mad Max movies are actually Australian historical fiction
They replaced kangaroos with cars and vegemite with oil and changed some of the names
>The top of queen street seems to be a magnet for drug effected people screaming at each other
yeah, it's right across the road from the old casino (RIP Treasury).
I just spent a week holiday down in Stanthorpe, a near 4 hour drive from brisbane and i gotta tell you it's fucking beautiful out that way.
Land is relatively cheap too compared to brissie and it's nothing but wine, cheese and apple farming.
Truly god's own country.
The homeless are all getting fucked off by the BCC and shipped off to parts unknown, probably toowoomba, before the olympics come through.
Hate the olympics though, Anna Palachuck should hang from a street lamp in Inala for signing us up to that bullshit
To listen you'd think Australia is terrible for living. That's a typical boogeymen shit. People somehow live there and seem to be majorly happy.
If your country isnt African, south/latin American or Asian shithole, this is a nice country to live your life in.
shut up cunt. be quiet

why is the southern downs still white while toowoomba is full of indians
Wolf Creek 1 was good, great photography
Wolf Creek 2 was kino and should be watched by everyone
the whole living in Straya part mostly
Is Brisbane the problem, the state the problem, or just the country? I feel alienated and like I can't be myself, and that my life has no meaning
The culture in this city is all about sports and drinking and being a fucking retard instead of improving yourself and enjoying nature
I have a daydream of moving states, likely to Tas, but not sure if that will help
Saw this the other week, Loved it.
yes. don't come here.
unless you're a pretty girl, in which case come directly to my room.
This and Dons party is all you need
What do you suggest we do?
I should start making films so we don't get threads like this
it used to be much nicer, before about 2005
I wish this wasnt as 1000% true as it is.
SORREH SKIPPEH
Part of it is political centralism and incrementalism built into our political system (mandatory voting, and a basically impossible-to-change constitution).
The cultural part is the lucky country mentality
jobs good enough
house is good enough
no disaster, disease, war, famine, economic shock
beer and footy on the weekend
And the fact that Australia has is better than the rest of the anglosphere. Better the NZ where it cost 14 bucks for a coke, better than Canada where the entire country has Sydney-tier house prices, better the the UK because you earn three times as much and your house is mansion-sized, better than the US because lol, lmao.
Also everyone complaining about how 'bad' things are in Australia has never lived outside their home town 100%. Go live in literally any other country for a year and tell me how bad Aus has it.
I quite like both Indian and Chinese food, it's just Indian and Chinese people who are the problem. If we could figure out some way to gas them while keeping their restaurants operational that would be ideal.
fun fact. a little abo got caught shoplifting and got george floyd'd by the cops this week. his community took some branches into the supermarket where he died in remembrance
australia thread
suddenly every australian on Anon Babble is some stereotype TRUE BLUE FUCKIN AUSSIE BLOKE RURAL LIVING MATE
Fuck off faggots
Modern Australia for the past 30 years or so has been an extremely materialistic, empty culture.
Since I was a kid in an average middle class family literally all the adults used to talk about and do aside from work was home renovations, property, going on caravan trips and doing stuff around the house.
we gotta nuke alice springs bro
Also everyone complaining about how 'bad' things are in Australia has never lived outside their home town 100%. Go live in literally any other country for a year and tell me how bad Aus has it.
I have. Australia was much better before about 2005, and the current trajectory we're on is only going to get worse.
Wadiyatalkinabeet?
which posts are you referring to?
And countless Anon Babble threads
Two Hands
The Rover
Animal Kingdom
Our "film industry" is government funded and gay. Every once in a while there are gems but its mostly shit and there isn't much of a culture.
Our culture revolves around being either a tradie, bogan or criminal. Something all the pretentious yuppie faggots that are in the indie film scene will never be able to get right.
Its way too expensive to live for any self funded directors to ever make it either.
I literally said
>the Aussie Man, or Bloke no longer exists
you fuckin retard
crikey
What does this even mean? I was born in 89, aside from the 7 years I've spent outside of the country, I am Australian and I was born here Unironically, what was better in 2005?
One post? You found one post with the word "bloke" in it and nothing at all to do with rural living?
and countless Anon Babble threads
Never did faggot, that's a myth invented by them
Good evenings upside-down fren <(^-^)>
Many older independent Toni Collette movies
I am Australian and I was born here Unironically, what was better in 2005?
Everything. Demographics, culture, politics, housing affordability, prices of goods and services, doctor/hospital waiting times, the education system, population density, congestion (lack thereof). Just about everything one could care to name was better.
You don't even know what you're complaining about here. Show me where I did the rural larp. Go on, retard.
Yep, it's happening
getting upset at imaginary posters in your head
whatever floats your boat, I guess
The culture in this city is all about sports and drinking and being a fucking retard instead of improving yourself and enjoying nature
Yep, and it's the same pretty much anywhere you go in this post-apocalyptic desert wasteland hellscape
Enjoying nature, culture, art, movies, music = being into 'poofter shit', likely to get you stabbed
I've rubbed shoulders with some people in the indie film scene. They're all mostly commie theatre kids, absolute faggots.
Probably because it's just amusing to go relax into aussie social norms. Should be the same for whatever country you're from.
Bullshit. You're hanging around with the wrong people. There's more than enough "poofter shit" in any moderately sized city if you want to seek it out.
I thought that was a requirement for drama class desu.. At least from what I see in Hollyweird
2005
politics
Peak fucking Howard
Kill la kill yourself Anon Babble
Except it happens all the time
Especially in Anon Babble
making random shit up to bitch about
hole moment
I didn't say Howard was good, dumbass. If anything the current state of the country is largely his fault.
wait for the inevitable kino biopic of pic related
call that a croc
he moved here at 25
somehow australia gets the blame
It's just a big water pupper :3-
