:o I've had mixed reactions. A lot of my friends have said it was good, but weird. I think I'll see it soon, if not, I'll for sure see 9. :D I love Tim Burton. <3

Saw it in theaters. If you watch it, or have watched it, think about why it takes place in South Africa…

It is a great movie.

Why are you posting on a public forum that you illegally download movies? Just say you saw it, not that you are breaking laws by downloading a CAM-RiP….. :x

There is more than one way to watch a cam rip of a movie… You could watch it a a friend's house… you could watch it after a friend gave it to you, you could watch it after a friend included the move play as a common startup for your computer… you could stream it from a website…

I am just saying… but ya … it is not a good idea to imply that you are illegally obtaining anything.

Harry, you really have to stop crying about people ripping programs, movies, etc. Nothing is going to happen with them. Program ripping and illegal downloads of movies is something that happens every single day. So… let the kid say whatever he wants and talk about the thread not ask stupid questions why he watched a "ripped" movie.

You kids just do not understand how bad it is when Chips Handon breaks into your house and finds all your pirated movies. :norris:

And still, piracy is bad. Would you like to work ages on a piece of work, being software or a movie, then just have a bunch of retards pirate it?

I hate the MPAA and RIAA and are totally against them. I am opposed to people selling software. But still; if someone is trying to make their life off selling entertainment, it being software or music or movies, you should support them, or find a free alternative.

I honestly have no idea what you are trying to say to me in this post; your English is horrible.


"be quite". Be quite WHAT? quite is an adverb. I am not an adverb, if you are telling me to "be quite". I have no way to be "quite" something.

"if your against it". (a form of the possessive case of 'you' used as an attributive adjective): Your jacket is in that closet. I like your idea.
I do not own "against". It is not under my possession. Hence, saying "your against" is IMPOSSIBLE, and you are an idiot for saying that.



I suggest you take a look at this, so I will not need to be an internet S00per Hero on your butt next time.
You hurt my eyes. I am tired of correcting all your simple mistakes that if you put ANY effort into your posts, even 30 BLOODY SECONDS of grammar checking, that you could avoid all these mistakes.

Perfectionism </3 why cant we all love each other?

There is a difference between accepting a simple grammar mistake, and having all your post have no thought put into them. I am not a perfectionist, I just expect that if you are taking the time to post, you should at least put some effort into making your post look GOOD and correct.

If you are anything like me, you cannot stand people who just don't seem to care about things in general. Since, on the Internet, text is (typically) all you've got to express yourself, it makes a lot of sense to care about the way you type. Unfortunately, at the time of writing, extremely few people do.

Constantly strive to learn more and never settle for "good enough". If there is a spell-checker available, use it. If not, at least try to enable/install one. Unless it will get you in trouble, try to correct people who are abusing English as often as possible.

I would consider the conversation that goes on at srl to be casual, as if we were all just friends enjoying each others company. I don&#8217;t think you seriously put an effort into your casual talk when there is no one around you feel you need to impress. And anyways I would think that its your personality that makes people appreciate you; not the quality of structure you use in your language, but the point that you are conveying is what expresses who you are.
I mean no offence but I don&#8217;t see any reason to become upset over something like that. Though in your defence that was rude of joker to say that and you probably could have done better to attack his immature attitude rather his immature language skills

Forums are formal, regardless of the people on it. In a formal stance, proper language should be used. Typing is the means of expression on the Internet. In real life, it is very hard to notice simple grammar mistakes like that, simply because they sound so similar. BUT, still, one must make an effort to use proper grammar on the Internet. It is just common sense.

He talks like a defunct first grader. I often make mistakes, but when a person has EVERY SINGLE POST have the same errors in it, it isn't a mistake anymore; it is a error with the brain, or they simply do not care. It is often the latter, hence why I am pushing for him to improve his language skills. I do not expect anyone to use large words, nor even complex sentences. I just expect that if they are going to post, they put an ounce of thought into the post; that includes not talking in your native accent, such as "ya'll so funny", and it also includes that you know the difference between "your", and "you're". It is not that hard to do.

I personally think that P1nky means well in his posts, I just think that he needs to try harder. If he actually tried to use proper English, I would have no problem with him.

Harry, what are you trying to show off?
Your English?
Some people are good at English some people aren't.
I am still having a bad time getting my English to work.
Some people can script/program some other can't.

But I agree with one thing people that do not even try to make there post readable, I hate them.
I even made a failcake thread on it.

I am not trying to show off, I am trying to help everyone, so they do not need to gouge their eyes out when reading someone's post. There is a difference between you, and someone who natively speaks English (P1nky). There is a difference between TRYING to talk with good grammar, and just not giving a damn and typing and hitting the send button. Your English is not perfect, but I never rage too hard over you because you look like you try your best to talk proper.

You just sometimes slip up a bit, and I understand that when it happens. Native English speakers can mess up too, but it is so blatant when someone is trying, or not. Such as how you said "there post", though it should be "their post"; the rest of your post was prefect, and you just made a small error. That is acceptable in my eyes to do, as you are human. But making an entire post without even trying is bad, in my opinion.

All my 2 cents too. Sorry to derail this thread.

I will get banned again as soon as you earn yourself some brains, and use proper grammar. (Hence, I am going to be here for a looooong time :norris: )

Hey! You used the correct form of "your" this time! I am proud, keep it up. Sadly, you butchered the rest of the sentence, including ending with a period, when it was obviously a question.

He does need some feeding. Harry you actually spend your life on these forums. I think it's time to realize that SRL does not have a meaning of life behind it. Joker is right, you should really start doing something else. I'm sorry this turned into a flame war, but let's look at the reality of things here…

Open your eyes. Don't call people kids, because clearly your not that far off of one either. Just because you can spell "correctly" and have proper "grammer", doesn't mean you can go around and gloat about it. Just leave it as that, and when someone asks you, "Have you seen ______ movie, it's awesome!" you should reply with "Yes I have ____________…" or "No I haven't because _______".

No, you. Reread my post about how using bad grammar makes you look like.

First of all, P1nky called me a kid first. Secondly, you used the wrong form of "you're". Also, you misspelled "grammar".


You, sir, need to realize I do not care how much time I spend here. I just try to make this place better by making you kids realize that you all need to TRY to use correct grammar. You will look back on your posts in 5 years and think "Why the HELL did I type like that?!". Trust me.

Oh, and just for your information; if I wanted to get higher, I could be able to achieve it, with enough effort. I just do not. The higher level sections are dead, and/or irrelevant to me.

I lol'd.

Yes, I did get SRL Members with a copied script, and hence I am probably never going to move up in the community. Good for you, you finally realized the true reason, and this is the only truth in your post! The rest if complete bullshit, and I will explain why.

"manipulating IRC"? You can not manipulate IRC, it is all based at the server.
"spam on IRC"? The majority of IRC is spam, and no one ever receives a forum ban for IRC, due to Wizzup saying that forums are different than IRC.
"look up to me"? No one looks up to me, and if someone did, I would slap them. I am not a god. No one is. There is no "god" in the entire universe. If someone looks up to me, I would just be like "cool story, bro!", and probably tell them to knock it off, or just say "thanks".

You have a good life too, hopefully you will realize when to improve your basic English skills, and not facepalm after looking at your posts in 5 years. :norris:

And Ill give a review of district 9: this might give alittle away about the story line so DONT read if you want it to all be a supprize
It was made with a kinda documentery feel, kinda like the office, where they interview differant people who were connected with the main charicture before his life took such an unlucky turn. (i wont go into details and ruin it for you all)
Its a very origional alien type movie, and for that reason alone i liked it. Just cause it wasnt a copy / paste of old movie storylines or ideas.
The only thing i didnt like about the movie is how all but two of the aliens behave like animals. I suppose the old saying applies, treat someone like an animal and they will become an animal, but i think it would have been better if at the end of the movie they had shown the rest of the prawns to be as intelligant as the two main charicture prawns. (oh btw in the movie the aliens are called prawns, sorry about switching over to there real name half way through the review) :P

Moar info? :) What did you like and what didn't you? ^^ Thanks.

2009-08-25 08:07:22

Pros:
District 9 had an interestingly new plot.. an alien ship rests on planet earth and the humans welcome/contain them… the aliens are trying to get home while battling for their lives and what they know to be normality on a foreign planet. Along with the plot.. I generally just enjoyed watching the movie..

Cons:
Some of the movie was just plain tacky… the main character randomly gets spurts of imgunnabeahero'isms… that just bugged me…mostly I didn't like his character… ya that would be my main dislike… the main character's … character…

Dude, that was the point. :norris:

He was a Mr. Everyman, and the thing was how he, an "ordinary" (slightly nervous, not terribly bright, kinda selfish but basically kind and loving towards his family) guy would react when you put him in that kind of a situation. Without him, you have no real moral quandary.

Dude, that was the point. :norris:

He was a Mr. Everyman, and the thing was how he, an "ordinary" (slightly nervous, not terribly bright, kinda selfish but basically kind and loving towards his family) guy would react when you put him in that kind of a situation. Without him, you have no real moral quandary.


/me is going to see this movie. Thank you, Dan. ^^

I know that… but I could not stand how much of a jerkfaced snob he was… in the first 3/4 of the movie… I know that was his character.. yes I would have been happy with the 'promotion' also.. but .. wow.. what a lame guy in my opinion…. that opinion is of him as a worker.. not a family man.. I have no idea how he was at home… but he truly Loves his wife.. and that is admirable.

Well, he was very selfish for a large majority of the movie. He does what seems to be "right" while it works for him, until that changes (and even when it does, it is not an act of complete self sacrifice)

I guess the question they were trying to raise is "what would you do?".

That makes more sense…

Overall I thought it was a great movie, I really enjoyed the movie's version of pretty much the insta-charged gauss gun from HL1-2 where it fires a beam and the target simply esplodes into guts and gore

The main character pissed me off A LOT. At times he made me want to get up and punch the director in the face, not because he was a jerk in the beginning but the outbursts of save myself vs save red shirt vs save self vs don't give a shit vs hero mode and constantly changing between them without any transition is ungodly annoying.

One either, A. fuckup in the movie or B. purposefully done for some reason was that in the beginning of the movie it was spelled p.r.a.w.n. all the time, but right at the end they started using p.r.a.u.n. Not sure what that is up to, but odd.

I don't think the sequel will be very good. I mean all they really have to do is comeback, fix the main character, declare war? like the new reporters were talking about, and collect all the prawns and take them home. Personally I don't think it will make much of a movie as there isn't really a major plot there for a 1 hr 30 min + movie.

Overall one of the better movies this year.


Oh and p.s. P1nky, Harry is right. You really need to take some care in typing rather than "OOO I can do this really fast" well it's like sex. You are done really fast, but you make nobdy but you is happy.

++1 true that… true that..

Although .. they could throw some twists in there to make a sequel interesting… aliens come back.. humans can use alien weapons… man doesn't want to be saved…and so on…there are so many possibilities.

It was a thinly veiled metaphor for racism in the united states, as well as an interesting philosophical piece.


Me thinks it was about racism in South Africa. After all, thats where the movie takes place.

If anyone here doesn't know about the racism in South Africa, google Nelson Mandella.

I saw this movie a few days ago; I personally disliked that movie. It was very overhyped, and was not very good, in my opinion. It could have had a lot of potential, but the director or writer was a complete idiot. Basically, all they did in that movie was say "FUCK" every 15 seconds, to be honest. I did not find it exciting, and would rate it 1.5 stars out of 5.

I saw it about 20 minutes ago. I didn't see a great quality version, but still I thought it was pretty good.

[spoiler]

I thought that the movie was a decent plot, but to me, the sequel will be better. Red Coat will have to come back to save his people on earth because of them doing testing on the prawn, but since Red Coat has the feel of a non-aggressive prawn, I do not believe there will be a war.
