Atencios post on District 9’s Effects on the Film Industry had over 70 notes!
Clocking in at over 1600 words, on a pretty in depth topic no less.

I saw this before “District 9” last weekend…and I have to say, this is one of the funniest things I’ve ever seen Jay do. Hell, this is edgier (and dare I say, funnier) than Conan’s remotes over the past few months.
this is pretty great.
