Australia f#$%ing sucks

I can’t even begin to say how pissed off I am about this, but Adventureland, one of the main films I was looking forward to this year has FINALLY been released here in Oz, only to be limited to 16 cinemas.  That’s right, a whopping 16!!!

16 for the WHOLE COUNTRY.

How the hell can this happen?  I mean Jesus, Lesbian Vampire Killers is being shown at 8 locations.  How can a movie featuring Bill Hader, Kristen Wiig, Ryan Reynolds, and Kristen Stewart not be given a full release?

I can’t see this film anywhere in my city.  Nowhere.  If I want to see it (which I do) I have to travel to Sydney.  There’s no way I’m travelling to Sydney and dealing with that traffic to see a film, no matter how much I want to see it.  On top of this it’s only being shown two times per day, 11am and 8:45pm.  That’s fucking bullshit.

For the most part living in Australia is pretty decent.  But it’s situations like this which make me hate this country.  I’m a movie fanatic and this kind of shit drives me insane.  We got shafted with no release for Grindhouse.  Kiss Kiss Bang Bang played for about 2 weeks at about 4 locations.  And now this.

BULLSHIT!!
