Isn't District Nine supposed to be a fictional documentary where they also say that this acttually happened, that there was a ufo over a city in south Africa. And yet you make a big deal when there trying to make people belive that the fourth kind is an actual documentary of alien abdutions in Nome Alaska? just saying

Sometimes I watch a movie which makes me regret my stubborn tendency to absolutely avoid reviews and commentary involving said movie until I've watched it. The Fourth Kind is a fantastic example. Knowing next to nothing about it, I tortured myself with more than an hour of Milla 'Alice' Jovovich and her atrocious 'acting'. The subpar performances (Or perhaps overt performances would be a better way of describing it) were not what eventually caused me to throw up my hands and cry out 'Fuck-a-dis', but the very concept of the movie. Carlyle absolutely nailed my greatest issue, that being the attempt to capitalize on ignorance about the subject matter in order to solicit some kind of response from the audience. Unlike the blair witch project however, Four Kind is nothing short of audacious in its attempts to confuse the truth, and Milla's statements at the beginning of the movie are the greatest 'fuck you' I've ever seen on the silver screen. Staring at the screen, I just thought "Great... this movie's willing to outright lie to me, I'm not going to enjoy this, am I?" Turns out I was right, damnit. "Fourth Kind" sucks, and not the good kind of suck like a happy ending or Troll 2. No, it's the bad kind like Wolverine and Herpes. The name actors made me ill with their performances and, as the plot progressed, I couldn't stand how gullible they must have thought their audience would be. What was worse, some idiot behind me actually said "Holy shit... Why wasn't this on the news?" Good fucking question >.< And the novel approach they took to story telling, lining up the 'dramatic reenactment' footage and the 'archived' footage? Whoever decided to do that should seek out a refund for their theatrical education up until that point. What a fantastic way to distract the audience and remind them that what they are watching is almost definitely fake. Fuck this movie.

sure, of course there are "aliens" ie other life forms in the universe. but why would they come here. sure they could be space faring races. flat out I wouldn't care if they did come down here to get some human ass

Unless they were the idiot aliens from SIGNS, >Fungusmonkey, who're allergic to water but still land on a planet that you can see from outer space is covered with it. Oh, and Tim Couchman? You're saying that it's not simply that we don't agree with YOU, but we're "wrong", huh? "The Spill Crew has instead traded film criticism for half-assed astronomy by throwing their two cents into the Fountain of Who Gives a Rat’s Ass." Anyone else wanna take a crack at untangling that metaphor?

I agree with the last part of Seth's comment - if there ever was some form of intelligent life out there besides us (which I believe there is, but only by extension of my optimistic hope that humans aren't the absolute end-all be-all life form in the universe), I doubt very highly they'd ever bother contacting us unless it was purely accidental. One glance at our TV signals from orbit and you'd find out rather quickly that when humans encounter an alien life-form, we a)shoot at it, b)blow it up, or c)shoot at it until someone else can blow it up. Chances are they'd get inside our solar system, turn on the tube and then just turn right back around. We're like the Oakland of the universe, all the other aliens probably just roll up their windows and lock their doors when they drive through. :)

I want to see this movie, it looks cool. But like the Spill crew told us, don't take it seriously, and have some stupid fun. The fact that the review was like... 20 minutes long kind of baffled me...but hey, more content for us! Also, when the Aliens DO make contact with us, don't tell them that you thought they wanted to stick things up your bum... they might find that offensive.

The Spill Crew got this one wrong. To interject a counter-argument based in reality to a fictional film in order to criticize it is the pursuit of folly. All fictional films require the pre-requisite of the ability to be engaged as the story unfolds. The Spill Crew has instead traded film criticism for half-assed astronomy by throwing their two cents into the Fountain of Who Gives a Rat’s Ass. The story followed a logical path, however unlikely it may be under the rubric of reality. In its fictional environs, where the critique should be made, unless we want to Spill fruit salad mixed with apples and oranges everywhere by looking at the film with realistic goggles, the film was well-played. The hypocrisy factor is in play, as we are told the footage is real, but that is part of the film’s presentation; deal with it. I wasn’t so crazy about the redundant split-screen, pseudo-Brady Bunch intro action, but it did aid in providing the impetus for those with ADD to see where the next stop on the journey would be made. The film is startling where it needs to be, and engaging in other areas as the tension builds. The Fourth Kind is not better than sex, but it is a full price, and it beats the living hell (no pun intended) out of Paranormal Activity, which is nothing but a move about a retarded demon who loves to play with doors and light-switches, like a drunk roommate from college.

I don't know if I wanna see Milla in a Blair Witch styled film... I mean she's my favorite actresses but seeing her in a movie like this doesn't work since it's supposed to look real and then you want people you've never seen before. :P

Man Leon seemed angry during most of this review, until Carlyle sang.

I think I'm with korey on this one, I actually got a kick out of this one but I dont really ever need to see it again. I know its really juvenile of me but movies like this piss me off when they dont really show enough of the actuall alien or whatever. It was still pretty creepy though. Honestly, I hold all these abduction movies in comparisson to Comunion with Cristopher Walkin and none of them freak me out nearly as much. I don't know why but Comunion scared me more than any other movie in my life as a kid and I still really couldnt watch it in the dark.

The distance between Earth and the nearest galaxy that could even on the most remote possibility sustain intelligent life (let alone life with the ability to master space travel) is so much that even the earliest signals we sent into space wouldn't reach them until hundreds of years past our current lifespans. A signal which would be the only beacon to draw a UFO to the Earth rather than one of the other infinite points of light in the universe. ...That said: My opinion of this movie has NOTHING to do with that. This particular movie opens (and closes) by having Milla Jovovich look you the eye and say "THIS FOOTAGE IS REAL", right before showing us bullshit, obviously fake footage. Adds insult to insult by lamely trying to make it "more real" by split screening next to a "dramatization' by recognized actors. Oh and the first hour of it is boring and it undercuts it's own point by playing all the 911 calls where ALL the callers were rednecks. It's an episode of '>In Search Of' without Leonard Nimoy kicking out the jams. @MASTER-BATE: YOU shut the fuck up. This is MY website, beeeeeeyotch!

The trailer looked promising, but after the review, I think I'll be saving my money. Thanks Guys.

"Asshole." Leon. That is the best part of the audio review. I will sample that and create a music remix with that sample. That would be awesome if people also did that. Get audio clips of the show and make a song out of it. Something like that for say 'Let's Do This!' would be great! Even a fake video game starring Co-Host 3000 and Korey running around while saying their best lines would even be greater! Someone, take this idea of sampling the podcasts and making new songs and run with it!

When I saw the trailer my immediate thought was 'Some Ole' Bullshit'. It just looks like a mess, like absolute garbage.
