   A thorough #review of the #movie "District 9"—for parents: http://www.screenit.com/movies/2009/district_9.html

      Hmm. Unless it's a different district 9 than I remember, I think you have the wrong cover image.

         Hah. OEmbed does pick some weird things as thumbnails, sometimes....

      I do really like the thoroughness of the review—both in breadth + depth; e.g.: rather than saying "lots of swears", they COUNTED them all.

         @rozzin I was offended by the topless man in #District9

            OTOH, notice that there was *no* smoking in #District9. So, at least it was a `safe' movie from _that_ angle!

               @rozzin my biggest problem with #District9 was that the advertising was deceitful. Advertised as #scifi /#action but clearly not

      And jump scenes. And scary music. etc.

      I do _really_ like that the screenit.com review of #District9 actually looked at thematic "topics to talk about", when pretty much everyone else just got lost in the trauma and entirely missed the point about why the movie existed.
