District 9

[Super-GS]

yes I got those errors by typing in invalid access codes as a human, but also got them by clicking on "restricted content" as a non-human. The only difference between the two appear to be the session ID codes, but I think those change randomly.

and I've noticed that when you first come to the map area of the d-9 site the coordinates " 26.10S / 28.02E " appear in the top left corner. Those become -26.10, 28.02 if you use them to search, so I did a google maps search, and ended up in Johannesburg.

and for comparison, here's the similar area in district 9.


I'm not really sure if those coordinates mean anything special, or if they're just there because the map shows that approximate area

If anyone wants to poke around google maps of the area, heres the link.
http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=....018398&spn=0.031756,0.053215&z=14&iwloc=addr

Just another note on the coordinates: I found that if you enter them in degrees/minutes/seconds format, they point to a house next to the Johannesburg Zoo. Again, not too sure if it means anything other than it is in Johannesburg, but...

I used Google Earth with these:
26° 10'0.00"S
28° 2'0.00"E

Good to see I can walk away for over a month and not worry about this thing moving at all...

This movie is due out in August, but Sony Pictures has released only some viral sites which could not catch people's eyes. Really weird, hoping something cool comes out soon.

For some reason I just received an email about getting a job with MNU.

I think it is starting back up. What do you think?

 

[cupidboy]

What content have you got from email?
I have not registered.

[DanTheDevil]

Figures they would finally start up during March Madness. I guess they assume none of us care about sports....

New content on MNUspreadlies.com, Multinationalunited.com, and D-9.com (new video on the latter two). I haven't thoroughly checked the websites so there may be more that I found. It looks like this thing might finally be kicking off.

If anybody wants to update the wiki, or use it for reference, here it is, it hasn't been touched since August:

Now I must go back to watching UCLA vs. Villanova.

The front page now has some description of the ShoWest footage. This one sounds very unique. I like how they're viewed as immigrants at first.

[xwolverine2]

i saw the trailer for the first time with wolverine...

it was awesome.

lmao, it TOTALLY took the audience by surprise... just like the cloverfield teaser did.


i cant wait to see this movie.

 

[Heisenberg]

Trailer blew my mind. I was expecting, well, something. But it just fried my brain, the shot from inside the helicopter when you see the "thing" is just amazing, looks entirely real.

 

[Kane52630]

has anyone seen the trailer for it? it looks amazing

Thought-inducing sci-fi mixed with epic scale. It's about damn time this made a resurgence. The documentary feel is a nice contrast to the conventions of the genre. I'm sure the alien came in very unexpectedly to the audiences as a result of it. Which is good, because it's very rare to see aliens/monsters seen under a "realistic" light, as opposed to cinematic form.

Oh, and can I also say that MS and Fox are morons for not letting this team handle Halo? I'm actually happy they canned it, because now we get this original piece of art. I almost want them to make their own franchise in spite of being screwed over, just so these imbeciles realized they passed on a golden opportunity.

 

[Kane52630]

heres the one one youtube, ive just upload it

You just know that if this turns into a big surprise hit of the summer, they will probably go back to them to make it.

The trailer really is an interesting eye opener, this just went up my interestometer.
