Tomorrow, when the war began (on Showtime)

I stopped watching when two teenage girls defeated professional soldiers in buggies with light machines guns by simply driving around in a garbage truck.

I didn't think it was that great. I looked it up on wikipedia a while back, and the most interesting thing seemed to be that the book is often assigned to teens in Australian public schools. Something about patriotism, diversity, teamwork, and a similarity to what Japan tried to do to that region of the world during WWII. Could you imagine Red Dawn as required reading in US public schools?

I'd support a tax levy to pay for the books!

Watched my DVR recording finally. Meh. Not great, but entertaining enough for a simpleton like me. I almost bailed during the trash truck chase, but reminded myself not to expect reality, but just entertainment. Once I got past that, it was adequate drivel to keep me on the couch. But then again, so is beer.

I have an HD "back up" copy in .mkv. PM me and we'll figure out how to get it to you.

Ok watched it last night.
Talky, then again it's from the narrator's perspective
Similar to red dawn. geared more towards a specific age group
The AK's were tactifuked to the max.
No mention made verbally, but you knew who or what part of the world the occupiers were from.
if you were paying attention, the occupiers (aggressor) talk over the radio was "interesting" given the fact the left wants us here in the US to believe or follow the same train of thought.

Would i recommend the movie ? 50/50. Myself, being laid up and BORED will watch anything. Hell i even sat through Sucker Punch OK most of it before i came to.
