So, saw
Ned Kelly this evening, which might as well be called
Joe Byrne Gets Some Play. It's all about the Gay, which is probably the contact high from having a member of the Fellowship in the midst. Aaron Sherrit and Joe Byrne's angsty star-crossed angst, and Dan Kelly and Steve Hart's tragical puppylove, and Joe Byrne's extreme pimp-daddy ways, and Bernard Fanning in a cameo that caused me to die laughing from the sheer dork factor, and Naomi Watts reinforcing my suspiscions that she's actually a clone of Nicole Kidman (Not A Bad Thing), and there's a monkey! And
The Great Grate Orlando! And...and...Joe Byrne getting some play. That's essentially all the movie was about. There might have been bushrangers, too.
There's a special hell for people who slash members of the Kelly Gang. Yep. It's next door the the Special Hell I'm already on the waiting list for, so yay! Short commute!
Gay, gay, gaygaygay. Wheeeeeeeeeeeeegay.
