That comment thread was torture to read. I wish I'd seen the "expand all" button before I went through and clicked on every poxy comment to reveal it. So basically it's just one guy having a rage about the title and everyone else raging back at him. He has 2 problems. 1: block doesn't mean the same thing in the USA and 2: he thinks it should be Attack on the block á la Assault on Precinct 13.

Now...none of you need to put yourselves through the torture of reading that comment thread.

thank you so much for that, Mr Ice. There's so much to read out there, I don't need the silly stuff.

The Kermode/Mayo podcast is up, by the way. Joe is getting very, very tired.

OK.....
So obviously we're all fanbois (we wouldn't be members of this site otherwise), so it's easy to get hung up and excited about this film.
I've read all these reviews/interviews and seen Joe answer the same bloody questions a thousand times.....and let's be honest....it gets dull.
So it is with this in mind that I give you the following three links.
1 2 3

Now...I've been regularly checking out Rotten Tomatoes to see the reviews and it was up in the 90s for weeks and now it's slipped down into the 80s. The vast majority of critics love this film (and it's boring to read these same dull reviews "this is a grate film that is great and I really think it's graet"...etc.)

So I thought it would be fun to link the bad reviews, just for a change of pace. I mean obviously we all love this film (fanbois as we are). So I'm not linking these to have a rage about it. I just thought it would be good for giggles to read what the nasty critics are saying.

I was reading here that Joe got the inspiration for the aliens from an old snes game.

Thought it might be fun to see the game in question so here's a link to a video
