Movies

Someone else said yesterday that in their opinion it's the kind of movie the traders at HSX always overestimate the interest for. I agree.

Sci-fi movie about aliens with a first time director and no real stars. A big difference between that and something like MIB, which was also alies, but adventure/comedy with a with a couple of big stars.

But I could be wrong.

What are everyones thoughts on [DIST9]? Worth waiting until release to see if it goes up, or take out now?? {nm} dc82 Aug 11, 04:29

What are your thoughts? {nm} Hooray360 Aug 11, 05:17

Twitter much? People who previewed DIST9 did. DamoVision Aug 11, 10:15

No stars, first time feature director, takes place in a third world country... Won't do too much. Facto Aug 11, 07:09

Why did this post come above my entry in the tree? Anyhew, Twitter caters to a young & hip demo. DIST9 needs lots of other demos to make it. {nm} Facto Aug 11, 11:21

Those are my thoughts, too. TGDRS is the only one this weekend that I can't make a decision on. {nm} Carlion Aug 11, 09:54

This is annoying - posts enter the tree at random places.. It gets all juggled, makes little sense now. {nm} Facto Aug 11, 12:48

Dont know, which is why I am asking. Probably will go down in value if I had to take a punt!! {nm} dc82 Aug 12, 03:03

interesting premise- but from what I saw ( the trailer ) it spells TV-MOV.IE. A definite short at this hsx-price. {nm} JMT Aug 11, 10:25

Seeing it tonight. Really looking forward to it. I'll try to report in either later tonight or tomorrow. {nm} goodvibe61 Aug 11, 11:44

I think it'll be fine, but you can't sit in one place 'round here. Everything is like that band Panic! At The Disco. {nm} JackO Aug 11, 14:37

The critics so far (13) are loving it: 100% on RT. I have read three separate reviews and I cannot wait for Friday. lobogotti Aug 11, 05:18

Tons of indie movies get 90-100% reviews on RT, yet make less than 2M {nm} Facto Aug 11, 07:07

I don't think knowledge of this movie is as widespread as people think... it should do very well in certain areas, not so well in others. secretstalker Aug 11, 06:00

I should perform well in areas with a heavy extraterrestrial population, like Area 51, Quebec, most of San Francisco. {nm} Carlion Aug 11, 06:20

I'm in New Mexico right now... I should ask the locals if they've heard of it. {nm} secretstalker Aug 11, 06:46

There for business or pleasure? {nm} Carlion Aug 11, 06:55

Or stalking purposes, maybe? {nm} Random Enigma Aug 11, 08:46

This obsessive behavior of his is getting out of control. He needs an intervention. {nm} Carlion Aug 11, 08:47

We have only a vague notion of what is a district. It is used for electoral - though we prefer to say "comté"- or judiciary purposes. Diapason Aug 11, 07:55

I think I find the term "anglo" offensive. Not sure why yet, but I think I should. {nm} Carlion Aug 11, 08:52

I use it as a diminutive for "anglophones". We say "franco" all the time (as in La Francofête, etc.) Next time i will "English speaking". Diapason Aug 11, 08:58

I appreciate you're ethno-sensitivity. {nm} Carlion Aug 11, 09:03

i see a lot of ads for it on tv concidering it's got no big name stars in it. i'll most likely see it this friday. {nm} eyescovered Aug 11, 06:09

Someone else said yesterday that in their opinion it's the kind of movie the traders at HSX always overestimate the interest for. I agree. Carlion Aug 11, 06:11

Europe here, so no idea on media coverage, but - based on the trailer - I do not see pongena2 Aug 11, 06:48

A Peter Jackson film - Its a definite long {nm} laujer Aug 11, 06:52

But he's just the exec. producer on this one, right? {nm} Carlion Aug 11, 06:56

No, he's the actual producer and was intimately involved. WETA did effects as well. {nm} MiyazakiFan Aug 11, 10:06

Ok. But still not a Peter Jackson film in the same way LOTR was though. {nm} Carlion Aug 11, 10:19

Your logic being.. ? {nm} Facto Aug 11, 07:06

That logic does not resemble our earth logic {nm} Hooray360 Aug 11, 08:04

He must be one of them? Throw him into that district, I say.. ;-) {nm} Facto Aug 11, 12:50

wasnt kkong a pretty big short? {nm} islander Aug 11, 07:18

It was, and that one had star wattage (Naomi, ehrm... Watts), a *massive* marketing campaign and, uhm. *Super Well Known, Familiar Story* !! Facto Aug 11, 07:31

His last movie is the biggest short in at least 7 years (KKONG -H$59.49) {nm} shadowking Aug 11, 07:25

$18 million for the weekend, de-lists with around $42 - $45 price. Total bomb! {nm} skilley Aug 11, 07:12

Not a chance. This will have stunningly good legs. {nm} MiyazakiFan Aug 11, 10:06

Like those aliens in District 9? They seem to be able to jump very high and far.. Facto Aug 11, 12:51

They are trying to catch lightning in a bottle. We'll see who gets shocked in the end, won't we? {nm} Catzan Aug 11, 07:32

Let's say you catch lightning. It's in the bottle. What do you do with it? Put it on the mantle above the fireplace next to grandma's ashes? {nm} Carlion Aug 11, 09:05

Quite obviously, if they catch their metaphorical lightning, they spend it on a sequel a la Blair Witch 2, Matrix 2 & 3...etc. {nm} Catzan Aug 11, 10:53

Ah Blair Witch 2. Masterpiece of modern cinema. {nm} Carlion Aug 11, 10:59

Better than the 1st one. It didn't make me motion sick. {nm} Catzan Aug 11, 12:17

Less snot, too {nm} Carlion Aug 11, 18:28
