I guess even with added 3D, people aren't going to get all that excited
about a rerelease. So the TS double feature didn't have much of a boxoffice
impact.

Possible "9" Spoilers
I was finally able to catch "9" last weekend. The movie has some
entertainingly staged fight scenes: Man, do they make heavy use of the stereo
sound.  But the story was so muddled I couldn't make any sense of it. I
was confused as to the goal of the big machine. I briefly thought it was
trying to unite the 9 parts to then recreate civilization, but by the end the
heroes were still fighting to destroy it. The big climax surrounds the fact
that the 9 have parts of a soul (Did the scientist's behavior change as he was
losing parts of his soul?), but the lost parts are simply buried; no reunion.
The movie felt very lacking in a payoff. I then found the original short on
youtube, but it didn't really answer the questions I had about the movie.
None of the premise about machines taking over the world (Man, Harlan Ellison
and James Cameron should sue. is even hinted in the original short.
