We know how it is: You’d like to go to the movies this weekend, but you’re worried that you won’t be able to find a humans-only multiplex now that the aliens have arrived and are swarming all over like they own the place. But you can have a multiplex-like experience at home with a collection … more…

I won’t review District 9 till closer to the release date, but I can’t not say something right now. I saw the film tonight, and as I tweeted immediately after: maryannjohanson literally has chills from how absolutely fucking genius DISTRICT 9 is I feel the same way I felt almost 20 years ago, the first … more…
