District 9 Trivia:
The initial premise of the whole film is based on the Short Film Alive in Joburg (2005), written and directed by Neill Blomkamp, which depicted in a a documentary-style the struggles of social interaction between aliens and inhabitants of Johannesburg ("Joburg"), South Africa.

Ah man, this is exciting stuff... Neill had affiliations with Smallville and I don't know if you guys will remember, Stargate SG-1. Used to watch it religiously...

 P1i pics taken this afternoon:
I put the ol' P900 next to the Apple Mac Mini to give some idea of how small it is  . Amazing what specs are crammed into there.
As we're not visiting SA this year, some of the money that we saved for the holiday went into the better half's new computer.

@gola: Blomkamp was supposed to have made the Halo movie, produced by Peter Jackson but that project fell through. So instead Jackson gave him $30 million to make Aliens in Joburg into a full-length feature.
I'll definitely be watching it next week or whenever it comes out in SA.
@GUCCI: What's wrong with you? Why haven't you seen Tsotsi yet. Its an awesome flick and while you're at it go watch White Wedding is also brilliant. South African movies FTW!!
Nigerian movies don't come close with all their recycled story lines.

@ Jojo:
Thanks matey. Yeah, the mrs is well.
@ Hobbster:
Dang, that Bangles song brings back memories of early high school. Then brix mentions White Wedding in his latest post and I start thinking of the classic Billy Idol song. Sigh, the 80's...

Nah, he's almost a one hit wonder...

Dude! What brix said, that's just wrong. Lol, can't really say I've been able to finish a Nigerian movie...
Thanks Brix.
Here's another SA movie making wonders, Izulu Lami (My Secret Sky), I think I've watched it...
With the new film studios in Cape Town, I think we can expect bigger things to come in the future.
And with the same breathe, wanqs, doesn't this just make you want to come back permanently 
Congrats on the mini...

@ gola:
Thanks; it's lekker to see the mrs already enjoying the iLife '09 etc experience.
WRT permanently returning to SA, eish I'd love to save up enough and buy a house in EL cash, plus have enough of a package to sustain us... sigh, lemme go get a Euro Lotto ticket; it was an incredible 49 million (multi-rollover) the other day.
If I win it I'll give you all a free signed copy of the 2Wanq CD . Or you could then sell them on Bid Or Buy and become millionaires yourselves.
Can you imagine what a jol it would be to bless peeps so much with that kind of money; we could get Gucci his Mini Cooper, brix a VW GTi with a very big intercooler to ensure it doesn't overheat in the Paarden Island rush hour traffic etc. LOL.

@JC08
Yes, that was incredibly impressive from Bolt! It is a pity that the Americans (through the media) are questioning whether he isn't on steroids. I smell stinking sour grapes from them. They are so used to beating anyone on the track that it is a bitter pill to swallow that the Jamaicans are trouncing them so bad. Of course, I'm not implying that Bolt is clean but he has tested clean thus far, should mean something.
@wanqs
With that much money just buy me a BMW X5 M and I'll petition the government to create a Wanqaland town in your honour, lol.
It's not what you do or even how you do it but in what state of mind you do it: Dups! 2009 |
