District 9 SPOILERS INSIDE

[Howard]

I think that's the relationship side of Rob talking. Where in the film does it support that she's really in love with the guy? She came across as kind of shallow (to me) and I just can't see her waiting (especially with whatever picture her dad painted for her).

[PHEDG]

They never show her on the other end of the phone which makes it really confusing. Is her Dad in the room coaching her? Is she genuinely crying?

[Abraham Smashington]

Yeah. That first time was definitely weird.

We saw this last night. Now going back through thread. My take: Alien Nation meets Cronenberg's The Fly meets Shindler's List. With a sprinkle of Edward Scissor Hands thrown in.

[Nathan]

Good points made by all. She is totally waiting for him. Remember Wilkers' buddy who was in jail for exposing the genetic mutation program? So she knows he didn't do anything wrong. I totally expected a flash forward at the end or after the credits that says: "Three years later" and a ship reappearing, then cut to black. Didn't happen. We were waiting until the end of the credits because I couldn't remember if I'd heard about something or not. Kid cleaning up told us there was nothing and we could go. I felt cool.

[Nathan]

Also, why hasn't anyone here photoshopped someone's face onto that picture of Wirkens(?) humping the alien doggy-style?

[Abraham Smashington]

Find me that picture and it's done.

I never want to know how the prawns have sex. Or the kinky shit you could do with a prawn hand.
