omorkaThe equipment for the band worked great at rehearsal. Now I just need to figure out how to carry it all around.
Then we decided to go see District 9, so we'd have seen at least one of the films we'd intended to catch this summer (well, okay, technically we'd achieved that when we saw the Trek reboot, but still). Man, I knew Peter Jackson was into splatter films, but geez, this thing was gory. And there are a total of three characters in the whole film who aren't dicks. I'd go on about how the whole film is an inditement of humanity, but honestly, the aliens are dicks, too. I'm also vaguely annoyed about the demonization of African traditional religions, although what we see in the film is less religion than folk magick. I don't regret seeing it, but honestly, the short was better - this gave up on social commentary halfway through and just became a really gory action flick with a major body-horror component (and there it is again).
