I posted a trailer for Niell Blomkamp’s District 9 the other day, which a lot of people are predicting to be the sleeper hit of the summer. In the first version, there was a scene in which an alien was being interrogated and they had his face blurred like a cop show, which I thought was sort of charmingly goofy.  But apparently that’s not going in the final movie, because in this trailer his face is unblurred and he has subtitles.

The only question now is whether I can take two hours of South African accents.  It really is an awful-sounding accent.  Or maybe it only sounds awful because of Lethal Weapon 2.  Here’s a fun game: next time you meet a South African, no matter what they say, just point your finger pistol at them and go, “…It’s just been revoked.”
