Get the Cosmetic Effect of Darkness/Distance [C.E.D.] mug.The LDM (Long Distance Mistake) occurs when you see a pretty woman approaching and coming closer to you. The nearer/closer she gets, the more you see her and all the details of her body, face etc.
When you realize then that she is not that pretty as you thought before, you have been mistaken about her beauty seen from far away (long distance).

Get the 50,000 foot view (or any other ridiculous distance) mug.Used to describe any movie/film that the pre-release movie trailer does not accurately represent the content of the actual movie. In the case of a District 9, this turns out to be a pleasant surprise, as it wasn't what you expected, but it's still good, if not great.
This is the opposite of a U.S. Marshals, in which a film is made to look much better/funnier than it actually is, suckering you into wasting your time on it. Many comedies are guilty of this tactic.

Example Films: District 9 (2009), Law Abiding Citizen (2009), Cop Out (2009)

Sample use of the phrase: Yeah, that movie District 9'd me. I totally didn't see that coming from the trailer, but it worked!
I kept hoping it would pull a District 9 on me, but nope, the only good things about it were in the trailer.
I thought <MOVIE TITLE> was going to District 9 on me, but instead we got US Marshall'd.

Get the Distraught mug.reality-distortion field n. An expression used to describe the persuasive ability of managers like Steve Jobs (the term originated at Apple Computer in the 1980's to describe his peculiar charisma). Those close to these managers become passionately committed to possibly insane projects, without regard to the practicality of their implementation or competitive forces in the marketpace.
"A reality distortion field. In Steve's presence, reality is malleable. He can convince anyone of practically anything. It wears off when he's not around, but it makes it hard to have realistic schedules."
