Australia's natural beauty is apparently not found in it's vistas.

So, If you haven't seen Australia yet, GO SEE IT. I say this, not because it is a masterpiece of film making (snicker), not by any means. But what it is, is a masterpiece of hotness. I've always had a celebrity crush on Hugh Jackman, but when I found out he was People magazine's "sexiest man alive," I was skeptical. I mean, there's just so many other men that I would classify as sexier than Mr. Jackman. However, after watching this, I understand completely why. This movie may have been meant as an homage to the natal land of its actors and director, but it looks more like a reverent homage to Jackman's rugged beauty and the ease and manly grace with which he portrays that iconic, and until now uniquely American, figure of the loner cowboy type person. I know I'm gushing like a ridiculous obsessed schoolgirl (omgzorz!!! lol :) ), but I cannot even find the words to accurately describe just how insanely attractive Hugh Jackman is in this movie. Nicole Kidman's amazing wardrobe and the gorgeous Australian landscapes fade into insignificance next to slow motion epic shots of "The Drover" rounding up cattle, or riding a horse, or, like, walking. Simple things yes, but they are made absorbingly interesting simply because they are performed by a very tan, very buff, very ruggedly disheveled and unshaven Hugh. *girlish sigh*
