A cool little website for the MNU group in the movie, check it out. They have maps and stuffs... like there are those aliens in this place...

An extraterrestrial race forced to live in slum-like conditions on Earth suddenly find a kindred spirit in a government agent that is exposed to their biotechnology.​

Well it's not directed by Peter Jackson but...
The aliens look like weird costume people and...
That ship looks like from Independence Day.

Meh, it doesn't look too good to me.

Too all over the place and the aliens don't even look cool.

...from District 9!
Maybe they'll make the fighting like Halo 3 or something, :)

Those aliens remind me of MURLOCS.

The weird target poster thing makes it look like the aliens have pretty big moustaches -_-...
When I saw the trailer for this movie, I thought it was about a holocaust or quarintine... :p
I might watch this, seeing how my family is a crazy movie-going family :D

Wow, I'm a bit surprised. This movie got pretty good ratings, even from RottenTomatoes which seems to always rate movies I like with more rotten than ripe, lol. Average I've seen so far is about 8.5/10.

I might actually see it. If I have time, lol.

Yea I said it would suck, but it's nothing like the trailer. (which did suck)

It was actually pretty good, everything other than the end anyway. Great set up for a sequel but they didn't even try to hide it here...

My parents went to go see it, they said it was excellent, so I am probably going to go a little bit later.

rofl, I'm torn between seeing District 9, Inglorious Basterds, or Gamer. They all seem pretty cool.
Aliens...
Nazis...
Games...

I hope this is not a racial comment, and I think it's fair to give another director a chance. I mean, he is working with Peter Jackson, so I would guess PJ is probably doing more of the important stuff.

I am South African, and this is a mostly South African production. From what I've heard, it's really making an impact in the movie scene. I'm so excited that a production from our country has been so popular!

If anything, it might give you a glimpse into the way we South Africans live. I live in Johannesburg, and while the movie hasn't actually been released in South Africa yet :)nuts:) I'm anxious to see it.

Watch out, we're taking over! Go SA!

GOD did the ending suck. It completely left you with the "wait, it's over?" feeling, which is terrible to do.

I read the synopsis (kind of, just the end) of the movie. and the ending doesnt sound that bad

In the final scene, an alien with a bandaged left arm is shown in a junk yard fashioning a flower out of scrap metal.

Yeah, lol. It's just my impression, since you think Peter Jackson's making it at first. :D But if he believes in Neil, then I'm sure he is good.
So sephiroth, was the movie bad?
eh? lol

    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though
