District 9

[Visions of Khas]

Gravity gun + pig = Revenge has never been so satisfying.

I saw District 9 last night with some friends, and it was legen --wait for it... dary. Produced by Peter Jackson and directed by Neill Blomkamp, it is actually the misbegotten bastard son-shrimp of the now-defunct Halo movie. Long story short: Fox/Universal pulled the plug on Master Chef, so Jackson and Neill were left in the middle of South Africa with effects crews and actors. What did they do? Decide to blow stuff up anyway, of course. As any self-respecting geeks would do.

It's also a beautifully done movie. Though the cinematography is in the style of Blaire Witch, Cloverfield and Public Enemies (hand-held cameras, aka shaky-cam) the documentary approach and superb handling by the videographers allows the audience to forgive it. Moreover, the cheeky political and racial themes, and ensuing brutality, are actually very believable in my opinion.

See this movie. Now. (I know DemoSquid probably has already.)

I was the one to make the thread for it on BF. You can bet I've seen it, twice, and it is one of the best movies I've ever seen. It gets my nod for every award imaginable.

I thought it was pretty darn good. Definitely will see it again soon.

I made this sig a few nights ago. I don't like it as much as some of my recent stuff. Original pic was low quality and it just seems like a monotone graphic... Anyways, figured someone might want to use it, so here it is...

Perhaps the second greatest movie of all time.

Hell, even competing for first.

I tried to see it on opening night. Of course it was sold out and I was stuck with harry potter instead (which turned out better than I thought). But yesterday I finally made it and I must say this is one of the best movie ever. The girls were crying in the theatre (no joke), the geeks talked for 2 hours about the movie after the ending and I left still shaking from how good this piece of art was. A must see.

Just saw the movie. It was one of the best I've ever seen.

I just hope they make a sequel, too many cliffhangers

So wow, that movie was soo awesome and honestly if something like that would happen in reality humans would CORPS would react in the same way, damn I felt sorry for prowns.

I saw it earlier today. Definitely one of my favourites now.
