I can almost always find something new.               Just like reading a book over and over.                AA> I did not know what to expect when I started to watch District 9.         AA> I liked the seemless CGI with live-action.

I picked up on the commentary, that really didn't bother me. It wasn't       hammering at it, it was a natural part of the flow of the story.               I still haven't really figured out why it took so long for me to like it. I       was leaning for a while that it looked like one of those pseudo-documentary       type films, which I like only slightly better than the "found footage" style,       which I can't stand. But it really isn't that style. So maybe it's just that       was my initial impression, and it biased me.                     --       Best regards!       Posted using Hotdoged on Android       --- Hotdoged/2.13.5/Android        * Origin: Houston, TX (1:229/426.67)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 90/1 120/340 123/131 226/30 227/114 702 229/101 275       SEEN-BY: 229/424 426 550 664 1016 240/5832 249/206 317 400 317/3 322/757       SEEN-BY: 342/200 633/280       PATH: 229/426           |
