If I didn't have a 3 year old son and a wife, I would probably sit down and watch the entire LotR trilogy back-to-back. 9 hour fantasy fest!!

As it was, we watched The Incredibles (for the umpteen zillionth time), Shrek: The Halls (movie short), The Gruffalo (CGI animation of the popular children's story), and 'The Lion The Witch and The Wardrobe.'

Penny and I also watched State of Play, and some psycho stalker movie Penny recorded in May, called Irresistible <- pile o' pants.

Want to watch:

District 9 (again)
G.I. Joe - The Rise Of Cobra
Transformers 2 - Revenge Of The Fallen
Underworld - Rise of the Lycans

...and possibly Twilight (depends if it is too teen angst orientated, and not enough blood-sucking / vampire SFX).

Dusty, love the xmas list. Real Dicksonian. But after watching Scrooged and being disappointed (the movie was better in my memory), I do agree with you change of pace.

Some quick questions: What did you think of "body of lies"? What of Transformers 2?

and I got District 9 waiting for me on my harddisk. Should I watch it tonight? Also being drawing into the tv series Dexter (now that is xmas for you!)

Are you sure you don't mean 'Dickensian' there, Fiskers? rolleyes.gif

Watch District 9. Watch it now, you fookin' prawn!! It is A W E S O M E !!!

Prawn weapons make humans go 'sploik!' You'll see...

Not sure I've seen Body of Lies. Is it any good?

Not seen Transformers 2 yet either. Still waiting for the Blu-Ray rental disc from Lovefilm, as with District 9 - which I may just buy instead, as it was that good. smile.gif

Also want to see The Hurt Locker.

Watched District 9 again last night, on Blu-Ray. Superb stuff!

I love the prawn arc weapon, and the repulsor weapon. And I seriously want one of those prawn exo-suits!

It was funny when that guy gets killed by having a high-velocity pig grav-gunned at him. laugh.gif

District 9 is a nice mix between the Blare Witch Project, the Fly and Robocop. I love the SAF accent and realistic feel of the movie. And yes all the Half Life weapons are in the movie.

Yeah, this time around I noticed an extra weapon belonging to the exo-suit, which I had not noticed last time I saw the film.

It's use was reserved especially for killing the Nigerian gang leader. A metal cylinder fired into his forehead, which then caused his head to expand, before exploding in a cloud of blood and brains.

Ultra powerful brain taser! Nice! cool.gif

Check it out / relive the moment (over and over again): http://www.youtube.c...h?v=pYOJWtpAwNQ

My fave bit - the Repulsor weapon: http://www.youtube.c...feature=related

Fook, I love this movie, brew...

Just been looking at Neill Blomkamp's other short movies... Maybe some more films to come from this guy...?

Alive in Joburg (inspired District 9; exo-suits look stupid though) http://www.youtube.c...feature=related

Yellow (A.I. related antics): http://www.youtube.c...feature=related

Tetra Vaal (RoboCop job): http://www.youtube.c...feature=related

Not so sure about Halo though. Game to film, usually sucks, except for Hitman. Maybe lucky it got canned in favour of District 9, eh?

I too am being drawn into Dexter. A guy I work with gave me Season 1. I'm up to episode 4 now.

Seeing as you rated it, Fisky, I thought I would also give it a watch. Strangely compelling viewing, I must admit...

Just finished season 3. And again it had a great ending. My friend is telling me season 4 still keeps up to expectations! (this is beyond my expectation looking a series like Lost etc.)

Going back to District 9 for a moment...

Last night, we had an Asda Home Delivery. As per usual, some items were missing from our shopping.

I rang the HelpDesk, and a guy answered who sounded EXACTLY like Sharlto Copley from District 9.

When he asked me which items were missing, I so wanted to say "It's the fookin' prawns, brew!"

Unfortunately they weren't missing. It was the milk and the salad tomatoes. :huh:
