"District 9"


          

So did anyone see it yet? I'm going to free screening on Monday and if it's as good as everyone says it is then I'll go again Friday or Saturday nite. I'm really excited to see a new concept in Sci-Fi.
Here's the short film it's based on:

Also check out the Halo short this dude did. He's officially on my radar.
