Every movie he's made is a lame "reimagining" of a better film. House of 1,000 Corpses was a rip off of Texas Chain Saw Massacre Devil's Rejects was a rip off of Natural Born Killers Halloween... he turned the embodiment of pure evil into a bullied kid from a crappy family. Halloween II... how creative, he took the plot from Halloween 5 and the ending from Halloween 4. Zombie doesn’t have an original thought of his own, does he?

Sounds to me like robs gunning for the deadly alien spawn/return of vibe vibe. If the blob won’t be a blob then you can’t call the flick blob!

That's just one of the many things about the movie that is "blowing minds," and the only part relevant to this particular story.

I don't think District 9 is blowing people's minds because of it's high-quality, low-priced look. I think it's blowing people's minds because it's <i>good</i>. It terrifies me that Hollywood will once again miss the point entirely, and latch on to what they see as a new formula: Make it look good, but keep it cheap, and we'll have an automatic hit. Of course, there's no logic behind that sentence at all, but since when has Hollywood relied on logic? District 9 succeeds because It has an engaging story with a plot that's driven by characters' motivations. Special effects serve the story, they don't lead it. The dialogue is smart, it assumes the audience members have brains and can figure things out on their own. It does everything a movie like Transformers, for instance, utterly fails to do. As for the Blob... I guess we'll wait and see. “They hope to replicate movies like District 9, which is blowing minds with its expensive big-budget look and minuscule $30 Million price tag.”
