Stoked for fireworks tonight! Probably my last chance to see some this summer. I hope the weather holds up.
A public service announcement: District 9 is pretty awesome. I was really taken by this film and it reminds me of the awe and wonder I felt when watching Children of Men for the first time. It's hard to believe it only cost $30 mill to make since it looked better than most big budget blockbusters to come out this season. It really is fantastic. It's not a perfect movie mind you. I think the general consensus is that it's good enough to over-shadow and forget the flaws though, which is pretty much how I felt. I would sum up the film as "seamless". In every way. From the effects to the themes and characters being portrayed; never once did I doubt the realism being shown. Wholeheartedly recommended.
