I look at Megan Fox and I see a stunningly beautiful woman, she has that classic hollywood beauty that doesn't come around that often.... and in her interviews she is sharp and witty. So she's not dumb the way so many h8ers wish she were.
You guys think you're sick of her NOW? She hasn't even begun to take off. She is going to be a huge star. Better prepare yourselves for it.

It's quite a logical and realistic way for crazy people who need to correlate everything to their favorite show from high school. And anyway, I've dated more than a few Seths who ended up doing just that, so I'm projecting.

Seriously, you wouldn't even know Amanda is the co-star/main character the way the ads portray the story.

I wouldn't knock the movie quite yet. Diablo's writing has been great in Juno and United States of Tara, so I'm cautiously optimistic that this movie will be a lot of fun. I'm still going to wait to see what the reviews say, but if there's good buzz I'll probably check it out. From this interview it sounds like it has a good emotional grounding to the horror that could really add some depth to the story.

Though it does seem that Neill here is still trying to figure out the whole plot so let's assist!...
- Christopher had been working on the fuel pod for 20 years (fact) so he is already a different classification of alien, much like ants or bees, worker, soldier etc. He must be 'Tech' and most likely the pilot of the ship who broke away from the mother ship at the very beginning - so he already was/is sentient and there was no transformation going on there
- I'm not too sure how long it takes for the 'prawns' to reach maturity but Chris's kid is smart, now is this because of education or he has the Johnson genes? Or are all the newborn prawns 'smart' and the drones were actually 'created'?
- Wikus's transformation was pretty quick and if an alien race needed 'workers/slaves' to do whatever it is they need done then it would make sense to invade a planet and convert the species into 'bugs'. I mean why all the weapons on the ship?
Something sinister about these prawns gentlemen, don't be fooled by their sad expressions......!

Makes more sense than "cat food" in District 9.
Does the brand make a difference?

Gah, that's just dreadfully stupid. Space is big. Resources are abundant (especially if you have the technology for intergalactic travel). The idea of mining minerals and ore and transporting them across interstellar distances is silly enough - the idea that they're here, looking to bring rocks back to the Andromeda Galaxy is utterly indescribable.
.
What, everything between here and there is mined out?
