I really enjoyed that too. Shame its release was delayed for so long. Highlight for me was the guy who kept trying to upgrade to the latest release computer, only to discover it was immediately obsolete after purchase. And the sportsman who blamed God for his team's loss. And - something else, will have to dig it out and re-watch. Oh! The cat cooking segment near the end! Excellent.

I liked the Rape mystery party. And obviously the running Cock Puncher and Michelle Cherry jokes. Oh and the fact that every time Norm stormed through the news office it was the same footage. And the racial stereotyping.

They did that in The Onion movie? Damn, I've been doing a Rape Mystery Party in my stand up. How did theirs go?

All TV quizes except the fake ones are shite.

A dated mean format.

Being old doesn't make something crap. An Australian network recently launched a version of the classic French quiz show Des Chiffres et Des Lettres (Numbers and Letters), which is extremely no-frills, no-glamour, no-glitz; just contestants solving anagrams and doing speedy mental arithmetic. Good viewing, but probably has abysmal ratings as it requires viewers to think. The worst aspect of modern quiz shows, in my opinion, is all the inane chatter by hosts. Who Wants to be a Millionaire could have so many more questions, but instead has a host crapping on incessantly with "Are you sure? Is that definitely your final answer? There's a lot riding on this. You want to lock it in? And now let's go to a commercial break". What gumpf.

I'm sure there must be a clip on YouTube. I don't know if I can aptly explain it.

Dinner for Schmucks. I laughed lots, and had my heart appropriately warmed.

District 9. Fantastic, very original film (providing you discount Alien Nation!). Bit racist about Nigerians, mind.

District 9 was amazing. Can't wait for the next one.

Is district 9 the one with Face from the new A Team movie
About the prawn aliens.
Great movie

Yes, that be him.

Correct. ;)

I love how distinctive the South African setting is and the lead actor is fantastic. He's like an awsome super geek.

Rare example of sfx working well.

Mmm catfood.

Haha at least you knew what I meant

There's a new one set in Germany where they don't let the prawns land.

District Nein!

The Damned United.
Great stuff, although probably a little loose with the truth in places

I didn't get District 9.
