Aliens, Mechs, Pigs!

I've been playing a lot of Plants Vs. Zombies lately so Nayka decided to get me out of that routine and have us sit down and watch a little movie called District 9.

While the plot is completely predictable, I would have to say this is one of those rare movies that grace the cinema world with its sheer awesomeness. Not only does it show both sides of the coin in one movie, but in the end it all comes together in harmony, forming one huge fuckfest of epic proportions. You start liking characters one second, then completely hating them the next...Only to have them redeem themselves and have their story touch your heart.

Of course, District 9 is not about rainbows and have aliens warm your soul while they pick flowers in a garden. There's plenty of blood and gore. People exploding, being impaled by sharp alien hands, mechs tossing pigs at people (yeah, its that awesome). Yeah, we're the main bad guys in the story...But not all humans are corrupt, see. They always have the big corporations be the bad guys in Sci-Fi movies which obviously leads to people saying this movie is a cliché...But what is more cliché than what, to be honest, would happen in reality if mankind was in the same position as in the movie?

I loved District 9 and I pray that they release a sequel (and have the aliens lay waste to planet earth.) Yeah, I wanna see a movie where everything gets blown to bits and doesnt have that same bullshit about the human spirit overcoming every obstacle. They're pissed off lobster people with lazers...Fuck mankind.


That there cute little fella is Christopher. One thing I have to admire about whoever designed the aliens in D9 is the ability to have them convey emotions so easily by just using their eyes. It's truly amazing work.
