Neill Blomkamp, the guy who directed that fonky Citroen dancing Transformer ad mentioned around here sometime back, has a new short - this one about alien invasion in Johannesburg. At 6+ minutes long, it's a fat 80MB download - available at archive.org (updated to the new, modern streaming format right here. It's cool stuff - worth the DL wait.
