District 9
Blyss:
I will probably check this out at a Saturday matinee this weekend.

I don't know whether or not hype factored into the fact that I enjoyed District 9 as much as I did, but I wouldn't say it's flawless. The pacing of the movie is a bit slow during the beginning "documentary phase," but I suppose that's what the director intended. Also, if you can stand the shaky cam, props to you, because I felt nauseous throughout the movie.
That said, I'm glad District 9 became District 9 and not the Halo movie that it was originally intended to be. Sharlto Copley did a great, great job acting as Wikus, and I'm predicting an Oscar nom for him.

To write anything about that image would be a serious spoiler. In fact, it's kind of a spoiler in and of itself.
That'd make a sweet avatar, though.

I couldn't agree more!
Unfortunately, I live in a city directly between two large metropolitan cities - both of which have excellent theatres. The two theatres in my town are owned by the same Middle Eastern fellow who, with no competition, has let them decay into the most pathetic movie houses in America. Not a single unit utilizes surround sound and the entire sound system sounds like it consists of a couple of 6x9s wedged below the screen.
So, needless to say, it was worth traveling eighty miles to see "District 9" in Memphis, TN.
