    'District 9' - Looks interesting...

    Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there--on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.

    Hmmm...intriguing...

    I guess this is what you do when you can't get the 'sure-to-make-tons-of-money' Halo movie into production, eh?

    Was that an on-set alien I saw there? No cgi? If so, you don't see that very often...

    Could be cool.

    I think it looks pretty cool. The director is an effects artist who had made the short version on his own. They are pretty amazing looking.

    I like these odd-ball non-hollywood productions... Just feel different...

    Wow, the search function does work !!



    And here I thought I came up on some thing new on another site.


    But yeah, this has tons of potential to it. The first thing i noticed about it is that it feels genuine and gritty if you can tell that kind of thing from a trailer that is.



    I cain't wait.

    aint it cool news review, http://www.aintitcool.com/node/41892 and its not alone, its being toted as the most seminal important sci fi genre of the decade.
    honestly i have not been this excited for a sci fi film for a long, long time and ive got veyr high expectations of this one.
    I think the biggest thing thats got me excited is a recent peter jackson quote about 80% of the films in the cinema, and almost all the top grossing ones are remakes, sequels, prequels or adaptations. Nowadays a producer wont risk spending money on an origional i.p, hell i was taught my first year of college that a former student who kept the proffessor up to date took a film to get funding and was told, plain as day "go back and change it, if you can market it with a sequel at the end we will sign you for a trilogy, but we will not pay for a stand alone film, thats not how the industry works anymore"
    hopefully the reception form this will change that.

    Well, Peter Jackson got to make pretty much any film he wanted after Lord of the Rings, and he did actually choose to make a crappy remake himself. So, meh.

    Saw a preview of the movie tonight... it was as amazing as I thought it would be. I don't want to give away anything before the rest of you guys see it so I will just end it by saying that you need to go see this as soon as you can. I will most likely go see this again in the next few weeks I enjoyed it so much (and maybe next time the person sitting behind be won't kick my seat every 5 minutes).

    Do you think Peter Jackson will make over the top gore movies, again? Or does anyone think he will be a sell out like Sam Rami?
