Horror movies aren't all fake. Some are based on true stories...

 

[Shell]

What the f**k is Nitram. Why am I hearing about this?

Its the movie about Martin Bryant.

I love these types of movies, really looking forward to it

Oh yeah. Probably would be good. But I don't believe he did it so it would just piss me off.

The movies not actually about the events of Port Arthur, instead it's a look at his life prior to that time -

Living a life of isolation and frustration, a young man develops an unexpected friendship with a reclusive heiress. When that relationship meets its tragic end, his loneliness and anger culminates into the most nihilistic and heinous of acts.

Yep. I'm actually not a full on conspiracy guy though.
Mainly those 2.

Actually doesn't sound too bad then. He was a bit of a basket case. Would be interesting.

Basket case seems to be putting it mildly -

The disturbing new Australian film Nitram begins with an audio recording of a boy being interviewed in the burns unit of the Royal Hobart Hospital in 1979.

We do not see the boy or the journalist as she asks him, 'Will you be playing with fire again?' and he responds sheepishly, 'No way'.

The journalist then talks to another patient, a blond boy of about 12 who has burnt himself while experimenting with a skyrocket. We see him in his pyjamas in bed.

This unnamed boy in the news footage says he has no intention of ever stopping playing with fireworks.

'Don't you think you've learnt a lesson from this?' the interviewer asks. 'Yes,' the boy says, 'but I'm still playing with it.'

That boy is Martin Bryant - the real Martin Bryant

I went to school with a guy who was a little not quite right - such as he made a fake Hitler moustache to wear, he would practice the 'goose step' march & have his couple of friends also partake in such activities, and he just made more than a few of us uncomfortable with his demeanor & comments etc

And to kinda age myself, in year 12 he tried on one of our teachers overcoats - I remember it was a long, black winter style coat. He walked out of the room, and using the passageway entrance, he walked back into the room in a slow & purposeful manner, stopped & swung the jacket open as if to reveal a weapon

I remember a couple of us stopping in our tracks, watching this unfold and knowing of the school shootings in America over the years just prior (such as Columbine), we said that if he ever came to school wearing a long overcoat, we would be out of there

 

[Munich]

No more Wentworth

 

[cats_09]

Sad, though I have a couple of seasons to catch up on viewing

May be time for a binge session

Yes my dad bought one with Swedish lines just before lockdown for 4k. We've had labs all our lives and he's quadruple what we have paid in the past.

Bentley is just shy of 40kg at 9 months
