District 9[views:16128][posts:89]______________________________________ [Aug 20,2009 8:47am - Aril mobile ""] This movie had a BBC documentary on sub-Saharan slums and the unfair treatment of the people feel to it |
| _______________________________ [Aug 20,2009 11:15am - blue ""] Seeing this tonight with the lady. |
| ___________________________________ [Aug 20,2009 11:15am - brian_dc ""] ooooh, blue's got a lady now |
| _____________________________________ [Aug 20,2009 11:20am - arilliusbm ""] her name is red? |
| ______________________________________________ [Aug 20,2009 12:47pm - MarkFuckingRichards ""] arilliusbm said:her name is red? Orange would be more fitting since it's the complementary color to blue. Sorry, I just had an art fag moment. |

| ______________________________________________ [Aug 20,2009 12:50pm - MarkFuckingRichards ""] I'm glad I'm not the only one. Now I'm starting to wonder if Blue is more of a complementary or analogous guy, IFYANOWUTIMEAN. |
| _____________________________________ [Aug 20,2009 12:55pm - arilliusbm ""] You hear abuot that person who was hit by the train at south station today? |
| ______________________________________________ [Aug 20,2009 12:56pm - MarkFuckingRichards ""] Hah, nope. I'm on a "road day" today but I'll be in South Station in a few minutes. I'm sure I'll get details. |
| ________________________________ [Aug 24,2009 9:13am - xmikex ""] Get it? The alien's name was "Christopher"... "Christ"... he's the savior of the alien people, no one is sure if his return will mean salvation for the aliens or punishment for mankind... Get it? Eh? Eh? |
| ______________________________ [Aug 24,2009 9:37am - blue ""] This movie wasn't nearly as good as people hyped it up to be. It was good, just not great. |

| ___________________________________________ [Jan 11,2010 2:20pm - FuckIsMySignature ""] i like this movie. very entertaining |
| __________________________________________ [Jan 11,2010 2:35pm - largefreakatzero ""] Saw it over the weekend - I enjoyed it, though many of the above crits have a point. |
| ____________________________________ [Jan 11,2010 2:57pm - arilliusbm ""] It was an enjoyable watch but that doesn't make it a hood movie. It had so many flaws and the whole political massage should have been used for other genres, not sci fi. |
| ___________________________________________ [Jan 11,2010 2:58pm - FuckIsMySignature ""] you're over analyzing it jim. its just a movie. |
| ______________________________ [Jan 11,2010 3:16pm - Yeti ""] the political massage makes it a hood movie. |
| __________________________________________ [Jan 11,2010 3:17pm - largefreakatzero ""] I only like politcal massages that come with happy endings. |
| ____________________________________ [Jan 11,2010 4:06pm - arilliusbm ""] It's a shoddy attempt at trying to combine a PC message with something hip and cool like aliens. Abovetopsecrets alien forum was sponsered by district 9 for a month last month as they were taking input for a sequel. It was perfect for trolling. The things that were good: acting (main character), action thing that were bad: the plot and numerous holes involved. It wasn't deep, it wasn't engrossing, and it wasn't the best sci fi flick of 2009. I enjoye pandorum way more than this movie and pandorum wasn't even that good. D9 is what it is though, and it's something I'd watch again even though it angers me. |
| ___________________________________________ [Jan 11,2010 4:07pm - FuckIsMySignature ""] do you take all movies so personally? |
| ____________________________________ [Jan 11,2010 4:11pm - arilliusbm ""] Science fiction, yes. |
| ____________________________________ [Jan 11,2010 4:17pm - arilliusbm ""] Alien is what a science fiction/thriller should strive to be. Logans Run. Total Recall (story). Star Trek, Star Wars (not really sci fi but close enough). Hell, even cheesy ones like 5th Element. I thunk they wanted to take sci fi into a new direction, which I somewhat liked, but at the same time didn't because of the videogame esque feel and lackluster storyline. Moar movies like alien plz |
| __________________________________________________ [Jan 27,2010 12:01am - the_taste_of_cigarettes ""] This movie was fucking depressing. |
| __________________________________ [Jan 27,2010 3:35am - dertoxia ""] star wars isnt sci fi? |
| ____________________________________ [Jan 27,2010 8:01am - arilliusbm ""] Indeed it is, as are many more titles. |

| __________________________________________ [Dec 22,2010 9:33am - largefreakatzero ""] Bumping this thread makes Aril mad. |

| _______________________________________ [Dec 22,2010 10:57am - the_reverend ""] it was decent. I think if I had see this when I was 13, my mind would have melted. |
| _________________________________ [Dec 22,2010 11:57am - mattvc ""] Wait so space gasoline can also alter a human's DNA transforming him into a completely different species? How bizarre and convenient to a hackneyed plot! |
