District 9

[sunnysan]

Saw it this weekend

What a movie,

Top of my Sci Fi list

Being an ex Saffa I found it a particularly poignent allegory to apartheid

Very thoughtful and clever

[Diver]

I prefer District 13

D13

I prefer District 13

Thats was the french one? I saw that a while ago as well, also very good

[Doggy Styles]

I've seen the District Line.

That was also very moving.

I saw District 9 on DVD. It was a Russian pirate copy so I didn't realise the film was full of saffas.

Good film though.

Assault on Precinct 13 is also good - just think for a moment why such movies ain't made in UK: that's because police don't have firearms to defend themselves if such thing was to happen.

I prefer plan 9

Assault on Precinct 13 is also good - just think for a moment why such movies ain't made in UK: that's because police don't have firearms to defend themselves if such thing was to happen.

Er!

Yes they do!

Every police force in the UK has an armoury.
All forces have a sufficient number of Armed Response Vehicles that work 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. These are used to respond to spontaneous firearms incidents or incidents where the police use of firearms may be necessary.

[Scary]

Assault on Precinct 13 is also good

And it gave us the soundtrack to Xenon 2 Megablast.

Every police force in the UK has an armoury.

And in armoury they have got CS gas, night sticks etc? That would help against special forces like assault team shown in "Assault on Precinct 13"

Ask yourself, why did ENGLISH writer John Wyndham based his great book about triffids in the USA? That's in such event they got guns that can be used to defend themselves (how effectively is another matter).
