Finally caught up with District 9. In many ways a very straightforward SF/action story, but told with such verité and intensity that I had to ask Jon to hold my hand. (I recall there were questions raised about the racial politics of the movie - if it was me, I'd've left the witchdoctory stuff out, tho OTOH it provides a disturbing parallel for what the geneticists are up to.)

Ladies and gentlemen: welcome to the inside of my head
