Disclaimer: I am totally a sci-fi nerd, if you happen to have just recently stumbled upon this rarely updated blog. With that in mind, I really liked District 9. It took a sci-fi approach to the human condition and did it incredibly well. It didn't make any of the characters into heroes. The main character, Wikus, only becomes a "hero" out of a strict sense of self-preservation. In that respect alone, I would say this is, in many ways, one of the most realistic movies of the year. Granted, I am a bit of a pessimist. I think that's actually all I have to say about District 9 without going on some sort of political rant. It was a very good, incredibly well-done movie that I highly recommend. Well worth my $9.
Now for the quick update: since classes started back up, I'm sitting in front of a computer for probably max of 2 hrs a week, versus 50+ when I work. This gigantic decrease in internet activity is most likely the cause of the decrease in blog postings, twitter updates... everything. The puppy is also taking up quite a bit of my time. She's getting to be a big girl! 3 months and 25 lbs. There will probably be less music reviews as time goes on, but I will probably keep up with movies and tv. Actually, I'm really excited about the shows that are starting in the fall. Hopefully I'll get a chance to update again soon!
