This Week In Viral: Week of 6/1/09 Dan Koelsch, June 7, 2009July 11, 2010 Only a few updates in this edition, and they are all on District 9, so this shouldn’t take long. Christopher over at MNUSpreadslies.com put a new blog up, albeit more than a week ago. In it, he complains about MNU’s rules and regulations, which he claims to be “intolerable.” From reading the ones he posts, we do get some insights into the alien race. For one, they reproduce by laying eggs. Also, they apparently smell bad and have unusual-sounding names, hence their simple human names. In Comic-Con District 9 news, Peter Jackson will be making his first appearance at Comic-Con ever, so we can be sure he’ll be promoting the film there. Also, there is currently a contest at IGN in which the winner can win a trip to Comic-Con to possibly meet the cast and crew of the film. Be sure to enter! That’s it for this week’s TWIV. As always, our staff can only cover a fraction of the news, so to keep up-to-date, go to our Official Forum. Keep searching for viral, you never know where you’ll catch it.

Piranha 3D Footage Needs To Be Taken Down July 31, 2010September 3, 2010You would think that a title like that would proclaim my love for new footage and excitement, and how bootlegged footage like the one from Thor, or the phony tracks from Tron: Legacy should have no place in this world. One can also look at that statement to remove the… Read More
