I Suppose It's About Time...

... that I admit I'm fucking dying here, waiting for the movie District 9. Hard to believe I've made it this far without having posted on it once - it's out in just two weeks - but to be honest it wasn't until everbody's heads exploded watching it at ComiCon last week that it really came onto my radar.

Sucker came out of nowhere, didn't it? I mean, the "alien target" posters had been all over the city here, so I'd seen them, and I knew Peter Jackson was the film's producer so that certainly added a bit of intrigue... I guess maybe part of my relative lack of enthusiasm up until now has maybe been the fact that I've somehow avoided all the trailers, too? I'd heard people cawing about how cool it looked but I kept forgetting to watch any of them...

And now I'm glad that I haven't watched the trailer and unless they play it in front of something I see in the next two weeks - which is entirely possible of course, and I'm far too weak to close my eyes in that sort of a situation - well I hope I can avoid as much info beforehand as possible. Because the slight bits of reviews I've read from the screenings it's had so far have got me more than amped-up enough. I WANT THIS MOVIE NOW.

But what about y'all?

While you're waiting, you could check out that hit TV series Alien Nation!!! My husband (Scott from He Shot Cyrus) watched it non-stop a few weeks ago. It's like Seventh Heaven meets The Dinosaurs, meets Melrose Place. In other words: pretty fucking awesome.
