I really liked District 9. It's not life changing or anything, but, fuck, it's an original story told very well. Despite its faults, I didn't find it predictable. It's not the greatest movie of the year by any means, it's not as intelligent as I was led to believe, but it's not the Alien Nation knockoff I expected, either.

I know I promised anger and activism, but I'm focusing that into real life. it still eats at me, but I'm almost drinking enough to get by. I'm ready to go national, by the way, I'm even trying to get myself to stoop as low as Nancy Grace ( Read more... )

In other words, for the car to suddenly accelerate, no matter what gear it was in, the driver would have had to really put their foot down ( Read more... )

So, I'm preparing for this massive letter writing campaign I know I'm going to have to undertake. I'm waiting for Wednesday, so I know what our local press gives as an official story. But I'm sick of this small-town bullshit of letting people get away with murder (literally, in this case) just because they're old. No charges will be filed? Fuck ( Read more... )
