I still remember burning the DVDrw and printing out the cover, all these years later. Wierd memory to be so engrained.
That movie should have gotten way more accolades, such a fantastic film.
Also, District9 kinda always felt like it had a bit of the Isreal/Palestine conflict feeling to it.
That’s cos D9 was about apartheid so you saw a modern apartheid state and saw a correlation.
Neil Blomkamp is South African. D9 was about the group areas act that removed people from their homes into townships all over South Africa.
Kinda funny that my memory of it is that rips were available before the movie hit theatres here.
Yep, I lived with 4 other guys at the time and we were all so excited to put it up on the massive trinitron TV. Man that tv... God of War never looked so amazing.
