Saw District 9 over the weekend




I feel like I should have liked this movie more. All the reviewers I usually like gave it some very enthusiastic thumbs up. Except blunty for some reason he doesn't have a review of it.

I gotta agree with my dad it was... Meh... I don't know of my hopes were too high or not. But to me it felt like the movie was a half assed attempt at a documentary style film and that's what hurt it for me, There were several instances where if it were documentary style, sorry you don't get to get that shot and it's okay because it's a "Documentry." Right? Right. The acticing felt solid and the effects were fantabulous but most of the movie was not actually documentary style, it was just shakey cam. In the begnining it wasa true documentary style and throughout the movie there were clips of interviews mixed in here and there but again just because it's shaky cam does not make a documentray, I guess that kinda caused a distraction that derailed me from liking it. Also the Interviews that were giving spoilers felt out of place I think it might have helped if they were kept in cronological order. Now the last half hour or so of the movie was more action flick than documentary and that was very very solid.

I did want to like it, I thought they did a great job bringing the "Prawns" to life. But all in all, on the scale of pass, rent, or run out right now and see it, I have to give it a definite rent. But since I don't rent, I'll pick up the DVD when it comes out. I hate late fees.

WAKE UP PEOPLE: The New World Order is here

This pretty clearly explains the Democrats failure to get their agenda done. They're not actually in power.

Thomas Jefferson Quotes

"I hope we shall crush in its birth the aristocracy of our moneyed corporations, which dare already to challenge our government to a trial of strength and bid defiance to the laws of our country."
- Thomas Jefferson

"I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. Already they have raised up a moneyed aristocracy that has set the government at defiance. The issuing power (of money) should be taken away from the banks and restored to the people to whom it properly belongs."
- Thomas Jefferson

"The system of banking we have both equally and ever reprobated. I contemplate it as a blot left in all our constitutions, which, if not covered, will end in their destruction. I sincerely believe, with you...that the principle of spending money to be paid by posterity, under the name of funding, is but swindling futurity on a large scale."
- Thomas Jefferson

"To take a single step beyond the boundaries thus specially drawn around the powers of Congress is to take possession of a boundless field of power, no longer susceptible of any definition. The incorporation of a bank, and the powers assumed by this bill [chartering the first Bank of the United States] have not, in my opinion, been delegated to the United States by the Constitution. They are not among the powers specially enumerated."
- Thomas Jefferson

"I wish it were possible to obtain a single amendment to our Constitution - taking from the Federal government their power of borrowing (from privately-owned corporate banks)."
- Thomas Jefferson

"We are undone, my dear sir, if legislation is still permitted which makes our money, much or little, real or imaginary, as the moneyed interests shall choose to make it."
- Thomas Jefferson


Makes one wonder witch party he'd support? Neither
