       To own his each, Ned. I found this movie remarkable, destined to become   
   a 21st century landmark for science fiction cinema. I do agree, however,   
   that there may be a bit of message overload in it. Just a quibble.   
       If a film is meant to make you really think about the state of some part   
   of the world you're living in and not some possible, speculative,   
   inapplicable scenario, then films like 'E.T.' and 'Total Recall' are fluff   
   pieces compared to a film like 'District 9'.   
       I can't wait for 'District 10'.
