Wolf Creek 2 script... analysis thingo

Warning, this is gonna contain spoilers for the TV series, and the movie, and the books, and what all have you. So read at your own discretion.

Also I'm gonna hang a bit of shit on Greg McLean in this in the typical friendly Aussie ribbing fashion. Yeah yeah I know Aaron Sterns also co-wrote the script, but between Greg, and Aaron (who also co-wrote Origins), and Brett McBean (who co-wrote Desolation Game), the only common denominator between the movies, the telly series, and the books is Greg. So you're the one copping shit, mate.

Also this is gonna be bloody long and will probably take a day or so for me to finish going through, so check the reblogs ay.

I wrote up a whole thing about this and then it got deleted cuz I closed the tab so I'm kinda pissed about that but anyway-

This number is actually closer to 38,000 average per year, but 98% of missing people in Australia are found in the first three months--these are "short term missing persons". Long-term missing persons are much rarer.

Additionally this number is massively skewed. These aren't people just disappearing into the outback. Australian national policy is that ANY MINOR in state care MUST be reported missing when they miss curfew. In 2023, 55,000 people were reported missing. Of them, 37,000 were children, 99% of which were found within one week of being reported as missing. This means that 67% of missing Australians are missing children found within a week.

I'm only mentioning this because I'm a former missing Australian child, and I think these statistics being included in the title sequences is funny given how they're taken so out of context. Ooooo spooky scary outback serial killer? Nah just teenagers going AWOL.

Model confirmation.

Greg does this often--spells shit incorrectly (usually with American spelling). It's tyres, mate. Fucken Melbu- [I am taken out back and shot like a lame horse]

Taking a moment away from hanging shit on M-lburnians to praise Greg for his prose. Genuinely--I love the prose in this script and how skilled he is at getting the image in his head across to his actors to replicate.

-1 for not calling it a gunbox. But +1 for being Like That about the knife.

The feigned innocence gets me. (I mean, to be fair, he IS innocent here of what they're about to drag him about--just ignore the dead chick in the meatlocker in the back of the rig.)

It's arse, you git. We aren't Americans.

I just wanna giggle about this because a lot of time when people picture sociopaths in media, it's "wanton disrespect for the law". Which really isn't the case. It's more "respectful of the law so long as it suits us" and Mick reflects this. He knows wanton disrespect of it would draw attention. Bloke's careful.

Also Greg spelt "arsed" here properly. So he knows.

Had a perfect opportunity to introduce international audiences to "bogan" and blew it. Shame, Greg. Shame.

This would've been the FIRST thing out of a cop's mouth when they rapped the window, not waffling beforehand.

[tap tap, motioning to roll the window down] "G'arvo, licence, registration, proof of insurance." Followed by noticing the rifle racked on the window and "Licence for that too. You have any other weapons?" and THEN they start checking your shit.

Sauce have been pulled over by police a few times, usually for a blow in the bag. (I am also careful.)

I didn't get to see what darts he smokes and I'm gonna whinge about this forever. I bet it's Winfields. Fucken bet. Bloke's smoke.

That escalated quickly. (Greg's edge is showing.) Also they'd have asked about the rifle a LOT sooner.

"An evil not quite human." Iunno maybe this is just the disorders in me speaking but after that shit I'd fucken shoot 'em too. That's very human actually I reckon.

Also at one point in this scene Greg calls a windscreen "windshield". There's something in M-lbourne's water. I'm not gonna keep screencapping mistakes like that but I will keep bitching about them. He misspells "metres" too as "meters".

I'm glad we have this moment in the show, when he tells the Kiwi--forget his name, soz mate--to dig. And then starts monologuing to him about how much he hates Kiwis (funny callback to Cutter from Origins--aw, Mick, look who still holds a grudge). But I'll be arsed if this isn't a great sequence, and I'm slightly bummed we didn't get it.

CHEKHOV'S BOX FAILS IN PULP FICTION AND RONIN

SCHRÖDINGER'S GUN SEEMS TO BE FAIR TOO COMPLICATED CONCEPT FOR PEOPLE TO UNDERSTAND IRL, look at the gun accident statistics

OCCAM'S CAT RUINS EVERY JUMPSCARE HORROR MOVIE

how about

Chekhov's Ockham Schrodinger Gunbox-Cat with a Razor where the kitty simply walks around in the first act, kills someone and it becomes an only possible yet ridiculous explanation as there was noone there, noone at all, except for the kitty with Beretta strapped to a box strapped to it's back and when the protagonist opens it, suddenly there's a razor there too and everything ends and now the main detective is confused how did the cat managed to open the box and kill a person with a razor when it was most definitely a shot and it ends with a mystery cliffhanger as it should

Only in Death- Part 10

@the-fluffy-underbelly

NINETEEN

The Deada Waeg

I

“Mkoll was a man of infinite and honest loyalty. He knew that the moment he started thinking about the comrades he had left behind would be the moment he turned and started the long trek back to rejoin them. So he shut such thoughts out.” Mkoll’s a good man, even if he did go off on a treck like this.

“Twice, he’d hidden on top of a mesa and watched as a unit of troops and armour trundled by. The Blood Pact was moving south in considerable numbers. It wouldn’t be long before Hinzerhaus faced an assault on its northern ramparts again.” That’s forboding.

II

“ Mkoll had no idea how he was tracking the Nihtgane. He knew he was, and he had the keenest sense he was closing on him, but he had no idea how.” That is worrying. He generally knows why he’s doing everything, it’s just his skill, so not knowing isn’t something he’s used to.

III

“Look and take heed, there’s one of them behind you, you ignorant rectums!” LOL

IV

“Mkoll felt sudden, immeasurable sorrow: for the partisan, for Gaunt, for himself. This was how it was all going to end, and a poor, messy end it was. Loyalty and devotion, duty and love, all stretched out of shape and malformed until they were unrecognisable and tarnished.” ;_; 

“Throne, how he’d have laughed at us!” I think Gaunt would feel touched that they’d go and try to avenge him. Though, yeah, he’d probably laugh.

“He had no wish to fight Eszrah ap Niht. He wasn’t entirely sure he would win.” It’d probably be 50/50 odds.

So Mkoll goes off with Eszrah to kill all the enemies.

Ludd’s journal, again.

“I had always imagined a last stand to be a heroic thing, but this is just brutal, senseless. I suppose heroism and glory are things perceived later by those who did not have to endure the circumstances.” Well, yeah. Death isn’t glorious until you look at it after.

TWENTY

The Lost

I

“The Archenemy had descended upon Hinzerhaus in a force over ten thousand strong. In a drab, red mass like an old blood stain, they spread down out of the cliffs and the pass and filled the dust bowl, pressing in at the main gate and southern fortifications.” That’s not good.

“Out in the hallway behind the gunboxes, Ventnor and the other ammo runners had set up braziers to cook some life back into spent cells. It was risky work, and they could never hope to juice enough back into operation in time.” I do like this detail, that lasgun cells can get energy back if you put it into fire. It can possibly explode if you do it, but if you’re desperate, it’s better than nothing.

“They seem awfully eager to say hello to Mr Yellow,” Well, you see, Brostin, they’re all insane.

II

“If I knew that, he wouldn’t need finding, would he?” Varl replied. Cant hurried away down the hall. “And don’t come back if you’re still an idiot!” Varl called after him.” At least Varl is around to keep the mood up.

V

“Maggs leaned forwards and yelled out of the shutter at the dark figure waiting silently at the edge of the cliff.” Wes Maggs, yells at dark portents.

VI

“Lijah Cuu stood in the doorway of the gunbox facing him. His thin, scar-split face was drawn in a leer. His uniform was filthy and marked with rot and smears of soil.” Oh great, he looks like he’s crawled out of a grave, too.

VII

“The dead had come back to them. The lost were all around them, thin grey shapes, shadows made of dust, transparent spectral figures cut from twilight. They lingered by bedsides, or hovered in the central aisle of the chamber, like silent mourners gathering for a funeral.” Oh, no, there’s a lot of dead Ghosts, too.

“Dorden was beside him, his eyes streaming with tears. He gripped Zweil’s arm tightly. “My son,” he gasped. “Mikal, my son.” Dorden pointed. Zweil saw nothing except a shadow that should not have been.” ;_;

edit: and the last thing is a message from the Ghosts telling command that they’re going to all die.

hot tree anon. sorry to come into your inbox with this but I once found a birch tree rotting in a pit and I was stripping her bark to make a fire with because it was super wet outside and ive literally never had a more intimate experience than that. she was gorgeous and so special to me. she was right near a backcountry campsite and you could tell she had died from people stripping so much of her bark for fires, so I felt bad taking more, but she had no use for it anymore. it was both spiritually enlightening and emotionally restorative on what was otherwise a draining group trip.

Ough. Would kill.

My "click" with Mattie was putting her new antenna in. It was the first, like... "real" upgrade she got, I did it myself, and I ended up getting elbows deep in her because it required taking out her gunbox and radio to connect everything. It only got better with replacing her exhaust manifold.

That and washing her the first time, lol
