I saw District 9 on friday, and the movie is excellent! This is defenitly one of the best films of the year. I just hope that Neil Blomkamp is brought back to direct the HALO movie(Hint,hint,Mr.Spielberg,hint,hint.)

30mil budget for District 9, this movie should make some bank. Looks interesting will have to check it out.

District 9 was awesome, but it suffered the same problem Star Trek had (too much action, too fun, wasn't as classically scifi as I'd hoped).  At a $30 million negative cost and with all the action & CGI that movie had, it makes me wonder just how cheap hollywood films should be to produce if you cut out the $20 million paychecks for Julia Roberts and Eddy Murphy.

I heard district 9 is good from a freind and online reviews  seem to overwhelmingly postive. I saw gi joe on opening day and it sucked beyond any expectations. I expected to make big money as i predicted it would be in the top five of the summer but its based on nostalgia and curiousity. Im a huge gijoe fan but I wouldnt see it again or want to see a part two. Its the secons worst movie ive scene this summer.

 Time Traveler's Wife was a pretty good adaption of a very good book. Of course things wre cut out, but they hit the important stuff, and I"m glad it did well.  The movie is a bit of a chick flick but the book is actually not.

Caught "D9" yesterday. GREAT MOVIE!!!!  I really liked the documentary style it was shot in.  F/X were excellent.  I'm surprised it only made  $37 mil.  The theatre I saw it in was packed.  Lookin' forward to "D10"

they know something we don't....says Jarrod

well let's be honest -- do hollywood execs actually know anything useful? I'd trade what the average studio knows for what the average Maniac knows.....even hanso!

on that note, I say we place Hanso in charge of Warner Bros....let him lord his Batlove all over us....and get to play on the set as well

yeah, the studios know this -- take previously existing material, do it again, repeat...

Saw Time Traveller and District 9.  Time Traveller was a good movie, although the book is excellent.  District 9 was a great movie--very original, and the SFX were damn well done for a 30 mil movie!  The last 30 minutes of the movie were just kick ass.  It was an odd movie to watch until you sunk into the format.  This movie is the way that World War Z should be done--no question!

Loved D-9, not head over heels like most but I'd say the best sci/fi film of the summer, though I haven't seen MOON, which according to a friend is actually better.

The film did great for Sony who I read paid 25mil to distribute in most of the bigger markets. I'd think now that they've seen the money they'll roll out a heavy advertisement campaign and hope word of mouth spreads like wildfire.

Now let's hope the inevitable sequel doesn't fall off and try to do too much like best prior example "Pitch Black". I liked Chronicles but it was somewhat of a letdown after the first

Do we get another "life on earth as an alien", an alien invasion/war movie or an alien rescue mission. Either way I'm there

I think we get a combo of the alien invasion-war/rescue movie.   Christopher will keep his word to Wikus(spelling?).
