I watched the full Landfall vid thats free on Xbox marketplace. Id previously seen the first bit (the production line) but not the firefight bit. I sat there thinking "this is pretty cool" closely followed by how even with the all the effects, it still held an element of fan-filmism, and how sadly I think even if they put craploads of money into it, a halo movie would end up looking a bit like the you-tube vids of geeks dressed up as space marines / master chief /

Thing for me is dam Halo would have been good if these guys made it if this is what they did instead. Going on their Halo marketing shorts and concept stuff they did as well. Would have been very good.

Halo would have just been an action film. Instead they made something much more than that and that is why its such a successful film.

I think The guys would have made a really good movie with Halo. Just the budget and wrangles skyrocketed out of control

District Six (Afrikaans Distrik Ses) is the name of a former inner-city residential area in Cape Town, South Africa. It is best known for the forced removal of over 60,000 of its inhabitants during the 1970s by the apartheid regime.

Tbh though, he does have a slight point RE: South Africa, in the sense that 2 of my friends basically have been sent over from South Africa to go to uni and do a masters just to keep them away for as long as possible. But the nastyness isnt race specific.

no?

Whites have everything there & blacks have nothing, because of the whites.

Good luck to the blacks, its their rightful country.

I thought the problem these days was that the white people had all the money and power for as long as anyone can remember, but now they have a black government theyre kicking all the (rich) white people out and every things going down the pan because theres no money left ?
