District 9

I'm down to my last few weeks of grad school so new CineFiles entries have been slow in coming. In the meantime, am I the only one who thinks this looks awesome?!

Click here to check out the short Alive in Joburg by the same director, Neill Blomkamp. Interesting stuff. I'm glad to see some new material out there.

A documentary-format science

A documentary-format science fiction film that looks like a National Geographic epic. I barely have the mental bandwidth to absorb it. Damn.

MMMMMM on the surface it looks very similar to "Alien Nation". Alan Jackson though IMO is one of the top director's/producers in film, very talented. I'm anxious to see it. Howzit Brudda

Weird. So I just had to find a different youtube video link for this trailer because the first one had been pulled by Sony for copyright infringement. What?! Do they really have a problem with people sharing their trailer? Are they morons?

Yeah Sony are a bunch of fucking pricks. These are the same assholes who not once, but twice developed a "Rootkit" to infect users PC's who played their CD's and DVD's, they got sued both times and lost for doing so. Jerk Off

This makes no sense to me. I'm helping them hype their movie. Now I have to go find yet another video.

Re: The new one:

 Saw District 9 really think this is a movie many of you can identify with. Screamed political statement, profiled many of the things happening today, Not the story I had expected.  I won't ruin it for you if you go see it. All I can say is I smell a sequel

Overall I liked it, kept my attention, had cool effects and gross parts. I would see a sequel. Oh yea and there was a trailer for a new Zombie movie WooHoo! Clap Clap Clap

Re: District 9

I like the fact that the movie didn't have the Hollywood environment. You can notice it in most movies.  Although he didn't direct it, Peter Jackson's really going on an anti-Hollywood campaign shooting movies elswhere. Great movie. Uncommon is what I would say...

Well Fremen I hear that protein from red meat may provide some valuable nutrients for brain (mental bandwidth) development - Rolling on the floor laughing Rolling on the floor laughing
