District 9 Continues To Look District Great

The first District 9 trailer looked great. And now there is a new District 9 trailer, you guys:

Oh no, why won't we let them leave? We should let them leave! But first we should buy tickets to this movie. "Hold on, aliens, we will let you go just as soon as Fandango has finished loading."

I will tell you this, though: the race riots of the late '60s that transformed the American social landscape forever would have been a lot different if there had been more mecha. For one thing, Jeffrey Eugenides's Pulitzer Prize winning novel would have been called Mechasex. And Alex Haley would have helped to co-write The Autobiography of Mecha X. And, of course, years later, as a powerful reminder of how far we still had to go as a country, the Million Mecha March. Well this has taken an awful turn! This guy knows what I'm talking about. Once you start in with the terrible pun jokes you can't stop, and the next thing you know you've got your own Page-A-Day calendar.

It's like McG and Michael Bay were having their knife fight, and Peter Jackson comes out of the basement with a chainsaw. (CHAINSAW NOOOOOISE)

Since when did Robots become the new Hobbits? I guess somewhere between X men and WALL-E.

Yes, if black people had been robots, or white people inside of robots, things would have been different. No one is arguing that.

mini-truck smashing into an alien on the big screen... I'd pay 10 bucks to see that.

This better be a videogum movie club movie. I have been waiting to see this for months. Since I saw the teaser on Attack of the Show.

I don't think there are enough seizure-inducing quick fades to black in this trailer. Needs more Peter Jackson!

Aliens have great technologies and such, but they should do more research before attempting to cohabit a planet already occupied by a race with a long history of discrimination and violence.

OK. I admit that this trailer is pretty sweet and far superior to the previous one, but what's with the horrible marketing? The posters placed in bus shelters (which are directly from the movie) look terrible. Were they made on MS Paint?

I'm surprised (and oddly reassured) by the R-rating this film got. It'll be interesting to see how it does against GI Joe and Inglorious Basterds.

Maybe now people will stop comparing it to Alien Nation. Seriously guys, this movie is nothing like Alien Nation, other than the fact that there are aliens in it.

Anyone who has seen "Alive in Joburg" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iNReejO7Zu8) has known this movie would be the bee's knees for a long time now yo
