(Well, this film could possibly be categorised in parts as having an extremely tenuous link to evolution of the RISC OS GUI... kind of... with a bit of imagination...)
Has anyone else here seen District 9? I watched it last night on DVD - great story (documentary-style in parts). Perhaps not everyone's cup of tea but I appreciated it anyway! |

Has anyone else here seen District 9? Yes. Saw it in the cinema when it originally came out, now have it on Blur-ay. |

Ditto.
now have it on Blur-ay. Not ditto. Not that I didn't enjoy the film - I just don't have a player (excluding the PS3). As for DVD, I'm being sensible and trying very hard not to increase my collection to the point where the building collapses. |

It was okay. Nothing special, interesting concept, annoying wobbly cameras (why do Hollywood film-makers have this notion that all documentary cameramen are ill-trained and can't hold a camera without constantly wobbling? Or do they think that we won't believe it's a mock documentary unless it looks wobbly and amateurish? Snobs) and enjoyable as mindless throwaway entertainment, but not worth keeping around for a rewatch. |

I see from the link the film contains bloody violence and pervasive language. Now, the first I understand you might need a warning about, but -
"Oh, it contains spoken words throughout the film? They might be useful to terrorists! BAN IT!" |
