-So, I guess I'm 4 days into school now, I think. It's really gone back to being natural to me, so yeah. Things are going pretty good. There's a lot more reading than I originally thought though. The stupid coursepack I was waiting for finally showed up, so now the only books I'm missing is one of my plays, which I may just buy off Amazon or

lol. Sorry, but D9 was definitely an allusion to Apartheid. That kinda bothered me, personally, cause the backstory takes place during the actual apartheid. Anyway, it was inspired by theDistrict 6 forced removals.

Did you see much of the viral advertising? The MNU stuff for that was great.

I see. My knowledge of Apartheid (I knew I'd spelt it wrong) comes from a very brief overview by a not so great Prof, so it is lacking. It was an interesting setting for the film though, and I thought the geography worked well.

Not really. I think I'll probably look it up now that I've the film.

Haha I watched it this weekend too!

The shaky camera fad I wish would just end already, I have issues with playing 3D games and watching 3D movies because I get dizzy and disoriented easily, and shaky camera does that and is extremely distracting. Ahhhh.

anyway, yeah I really love how it is set in South Africa. Uhhhh I can't really say much else on it, a lot of it was a (literal) blur because I didn't feel so well during the movie.

LOL.

I think it worked for what they were going for, since a good portion of it was news footage and stuff like that, but I was greatful for the normal camera scenes. That was probably the first film I really noticed the shaky camera and felt a bit sick because of it.

It was a great setting for the film and really added to the geography. I'd like to see it again.

It is. I think it's mostly the way he looks since the most I really know of Zachary Quinto is that he's in Heroes and Star Trek.
