I take it you saw G. I. Joe and regretted the decision? :) Actually saw District 9 last night... ahead of schedule. Great, smartly made popcorn flick with just enough substance to get you talking after it's over. Talk about this year's least likeliest action hero! My enjoyment was only dampened by the slobby slob sitting next to me who insisted on using his tongue to pick his teeth clean of popcorn kernels. Ted: You make a good point. I take it you saw G. I.

There were definitely some rough edges, but for his directorial debut it's amazing. Clinton: Why would you bother giving money to the idiots making trash like "G.I. Joe" when you could be supporting good, original movies? Agreed, this movie was excellent. There were definitely some rough edges, but for his directorial debut it’s amazing.

I really want to see this but... I also want to get the G.I. Joe movie out of the way first. Sorry District 9, hope you're not insulted! Nice review, man.
