Every damn time any new 9 footage comes out, it's completely pointless talking to me for the rest of the day because I'll just scream in your face about it. (Also, man have the people who make these things got to stop putting blatant spoilers in them.)
There has got to be a way to channel my energetic nerddom toward something I can actually affect. Have we invented cyborgs yet?

As for the film itself, well, you know how in Terminator we invented robots and the robots looked at us and went "Oh, fuck that," and tried to murder everybody and then there was a big war? Well, 9 is that, except that the robots won. We, the humans, we're all gone, along with everything we built and everything we shared the planet with. The only living creatures left are...ragdolls. Teeny tiny little partly-robotic ragdolls with numbers on their backs who inherited a ruined world and a load of nasty robots who hunger for their souls.
If that doesn't sound incredibly awesome: a) what the hell is wrong with you b) here is a trailer.
