District 9 SPOILERS INSIDE

[ecp]

Need more cat food...

[Abraham Smashington]

haha. Stop having sex with them Pipes!

Also, the scenes dealing with Wikus's transformation in the beginning were fucking astounding. Seeing him under lock down with those doctors and scientists was horrifying.

Also, best use of a pig in a movie in years.

[Shit Dickface]

I LOVE how they brought up the interspecies sex thing. It killed me when one of the crimelord's henchmen started fucking with Wikus about it.

[Abraham Smashington]

haha.

"I hope you used a condom you sick fuck"

[ecp]

I'd hit a prawn, freaktastic alien love? Think what could be done with those zoidberg face tentacles.

[Shit Dickface]

The most unsettling part for me was the "popcorn" scene. I don't know why, but Wikus' zeal/carelessness when he was "unplugging" the egg and describing how it sounded like popcorn when the soldiers were torching the shack made me feel dirty, along with him handing the doohickey to the one MNU guy and saying "Here, a souvenir from your first abortion!"

I'm totally pro-choice, fuck fetuses, etc., but that scene really bugged me out.

The part that freaked me out the most was when MNU was experimenting with Wikus. It was hard to watch.

The way they handled Wikus through out the movie starting with that whole bit is what I loved the most. I hated him there. So much. I'm with you Jake, totally pro-choice, but he was like a kid in a candy store in that scene. Lots of nervous laughter around us when that happened/

AVC: I only came out of District 9 with one plot question, and it involves a major spoiler, so it’s going at the very end of this interview. How was Christopher able to get the mothership started so quickly and easily, given that none of the other aliens were able to when they were originally stranded? Why was he able to just punch a button and get it started after 20 years?

NB: The idea is that—this gets really geeky and insane, but going back to their hive-structure thing—their queen has died, and the elite population of their society has died, which are really the decision-makers. You’re left with a bunch of drones that aren’t directed on their own goal-setting basis. I like the idea that after 20 or 30 years, that their ESP kind of hive-mind will begin to almost elect members of its population to start—their fundamental brain architecture could actually change, and they start forming leadership roles.
So I think when they’re on their ship, and they’re all destitute, when you see them at the beginning of the film starving, it’s that there is no one thinking on that level. They simply take orders. So it’s taken 20 years for that hive to start realigning itself. And so as Christopher has gone through these years, his mind has started to be honed into forming a plan. So that’s where it came from. And this nano-fluid that he had to collect, which he would have had access to on the ship back then, it’s just simply that the drive didn’t exist. The hive is just trying to restart itself.

Awesome. I was a tad confused on that but just went with it. So that's awesome.

[Shit Dickface]

And all the puking in this movie. Hilarious. It's like half the aliens licked a Joburg stripper pole right before a take.

This is one of the best films of the year. It's right up there with Moon. And I thank christ that Blomkamp got to make something original instead of making Halo. Fucking genius how it was all put together. I just loved how much sweat was dripping in that mech. The amount of grit and grime. Unbelievable.

Still cracks me up that they are trying to get the prawns to sign the eviction notices. Fucking bureaucracy.

MNU is the new OCP. You all know it!
