I Can Kill You With My Brain

A decision was made quite a while ago that my girlfriend and I were going to spend part of yesterday, Sunday August 16th, at a movie.  We had a list of several movies that we wanted to see and we checked the theater schedules on Sunday morning to determine what we were going to see and when/where we were going to see it.  It didn’t take long for us to realize that we weren’t going to be able to see any of the movies on our list.  One of the movies had a limited schedule and none of the times fit with our other plans for the day.  And two of the other movies we wanted to see were only playing in Sheboygan, which was more than 30 minutes away from the other plans we had for the day.

But we were determined to see a movie.  Catching a flick had been part of the plan for a while and neither one of us wanted to abandon the activity.  Looking at the movies that did fit into our schedule, we eventually decided on “District 9″, but I don’t think either one of us was looking forward to it nearly as much as we were the other movies we had selected.  Still, we went to the movie.

I’m so glad that we saw “District 9″.  It really is such a great movie.  While I can only speak for myself, the first thing my girlfriend said as we were walking to the car after the showing was, “That is an amazing movie.”  We both completely enjoyed it.  I would love to go into detail about why, but I feel that I’d be doing a disservice to the movie if I did.  The trailer does a great job of generating interest in the movie without giving you anything substantial, which trailers rarely do any more.  And that’s all I hope to do with this post; generate interest in the movie without telling you much about it.  “District 9″ is an incredible movie.
