It also had a completely implausible premise.

No, not aliens.  The fact that South Africa would be allowed to be in charge of dealing with them.

I don't have a problem with the Aliens in my Backyard premise.
First Maxim - "There are only two amounts, too few and enough."
First Corollary - "You cannot have too many soldiers, only too few supplies."
Second Maxim - "Be willing to exchange a bad idea for a good one."
Second Corollary - "You can only be wrong or agree with me."

A terrorist which starts a slaughter quoting Locke, Burke and Mill has completely missed the point.
The fact remains that the only person or group to applaud the Norway massacre are random Islamists.

I was surprisingly entertained by Wrath of the Titans II last night.  I thought the CGI was excellent.  Chronos was well-concieved and executed, the two headed flamethrower beast was well done as well.

Anybody watch the most recent episode of Vice?  If not, you have to catch it;  all about Rodman and the Globetrotters trip to North Korea.  The footage of their tour of Freakistan is excellent.

That's why it's Science Fiction. Movie is a solid B+ in my book and rated higher elsewhere unlike....er Oblivion.  :lol:

You would think SA would be able to "contain & administer" the prawns. Should be old hat shit.  :lol:

No, plenty of stupid movies entertain.  However, District 9 isn't one of them.

Tell us again what you think of Wyatt Earp.

Then post the soda/pop map.

District 9 was just boring, that one was painful.
