much faithfully regretted watching wolf creek tonite. i expected scary, creepy, lovely landscape photography, graphic scenes, staring into the darkness of human nature, etcetera etcetera, blase blase. and yes, i got it. i loved the actors. i love the general storyline, i love love love the actors, the beautiful scenery, all of that. i was horrified, disgusted, tense, scared, whatever. but i walked out pissed off that parts of it didn't make sense and if certain logic took place earlier in the movie, none of the bullshit would have happened. i care not to point out where exactly, and those who have seen, and feel compelled to comment, please do so and we can discuss it. i still say go watch it, but it's not an enjoyable watch.
red dragon was an enjoyable watch, silence of the lambs was an enjoyable watch. freddy kruger was an enjoyable watch, even though i must admit it messed with my mind for years to come...lots of slasher movies of the 80s warped my brain and caused eternal cynicism and indifference to most of these films, but what wolf creek did was successfully conjure up a very primal sense of fear, a sense of fear that i had not been accustomed to feel whilst watching movies. one that cannot simply be done from scary sudden loud pangs and crashes. it shook the core of me, even though i remain that the writer could have made much better choices to make parts of it even more frighteningly real. i know for most people, scary movie is the same as paying to torture yourself, but sometimes we do need that wake up call, that call where your heart aches and screams and realises that you are not invincible, but very fragile, and you are sometimes just not in the pilot's seat.
went for a drive in kenny's car after, for 1 1/2 hour. within which space we covered alot of ground, both in distance and in conversation. it's lovely to be able to catch up with someone so close to you, when both do not have "otherwise engaged" tags on their heads or worrying about a show, or worrying about an exam. it's because it's over! and after the past few months of intense negotiations, and tense discussions, casual conversation remain bliss.
and damn i'm good at rambling on! less space to talk about my closing 2 shows, which i felt bloody awesome for. i simply thank the fact that i was accepted to play a stereotype that some people found offensive. i'm glad to have supported a great set of lead actors. and to be alongside such cool supporting cast too. production team was fun to hang with, directors were cool too - couldn't really have asked for more. this is the kind of production where it leaves you thirsting to be in it more...must thank the bloody fire alarm for making us cancel one of our shows, but thankyou to grace and ian and david from my college for coming and great reviews, and friday for such an intensely attentive and giving crowd, and saturday for dave and naomi (adc) for coming also!!! always great to hear feedback, be it shining, or constructive criticism. both are most appreciated, and serve equally important, different purposes for me.
a big fav comment from the cast: "so how do you know if you're pregnant or if you're just getting sync'd up with the other girls" - martin, regarding female cycles...
