Clearly, SA (or just the director) has some serious issues with Nigerians... It was blatant racism. I guess they got away with it because of the whole retarded apartheid subtext but it was still some of the most blatant racism I've seen in a modern, mainstream film.
What a load of crock!!! I am a south african and if anyone should be offended is me. But if you look at it, and realise that its *very *tongue in cheak laugh at ourselves kind of movie. Get over your rasist undertones! FFS... -
It's been a while since I saw District 9, but I can't remember being as angry with a film since I saw 5th Element.
Before I saw D9 I was told it'd be magnificent and of the most intelligent sci-fi stories ever. I disagree.
First of all I hated the ever so witty Apartheid setting. Reminding us of that nice period didn't stop them from showing Nigerian stereotypes dealing guns and acting real bad. Still I think it was that hilarious their boss reminded me of Stephen Hawking.
Next up the idiotic scenario of SA having fucking shitloads of alien tech without any of the superpowers trying their best to reverse-engineer it. And don't give me the it wasn't working shit. Had it dropped? Wasn't it still in the air? You know, it might've been powered by something!
So nobody had found out anything about the alien tech? And nobody had figured out why the Surimi loved cat food? It seemed SA were a bunch of limp dicks. They hadn't even figured out that maybe, just maybe -– especially if cat food was like crack to Surimi -– they could've maybe bribed some of them to tell something? In the meantime the Nigerians were going fucking Gundam with a few cans of Whiskas!
And what's with the Surimi with the AKs at the start of the movie? What the fuck were they doing? They sure as hell didn't show up at any point in the end.
And why oh why couldn't the Surimi king and its son ask the other Surimi to help to look for the fuel? Okay, so SA couldn't figure out the cat food for info or guns scheme. Good to know the king wasn't smarter than them.
About the space fuel: Why couldn't they hide the cylinder in the shuttle? SA hadn't found that one in twenty years.
And the end battle was a fucking bore especially after the weathering the storm of stupid that preceded it.
That was my take.
I'd just like to point out they had only just found / refined the fuel when they were raided. Hence no time to store it in the space shuttle.
One questions also... why did it turn him into a Praun?

What? Lift the carpet and drop the cylinder in? They didn't have time for that?
The only reason for their actions was lazy writing -- they didn't want the audience to know of the shuttle.
Lazy was also the way the aliens were depicted. Although some critics were in awe of the aliens, I would've wanted something more than just the normal slap plastic manes and ears on them to make them alien. Okay, so they had funny legs and weird mouths, but the big and wet human eyes and body language were too human. You could relate and that's not alien -- it's just cheap. This is, of course, something every writer knows. If you would make them too ugly with no redeeming features, people'd just want to blast their exoskeletons to dust and piss on them.
And yeah: I've no idea why the fuel would mess with your system in that fashion.
Regarding racism: I found it odd and a bit irksome, but my main gripe was the stupid script.
And the retarded main character bothered me. (Or is "retard" too waisis?)

On the off-topic of strange games, check this out. It's a version of Mario, but with a Japanese kitten instead. Good luck.

snakes eat live animals, it's normal, besides, it most likely just a stock clip he/she's using on repeat.
Ah, yes. That could well be.

I completely disagree with snake owners feeding them live prey (especially being a rat owner). But yes it is a stock footage, and it had quite a lot of success. There's ones where people have used a youtube video of the Jonas Brothers to trick girls into flashing them and many more.

It's not normal to buy a snake just to enjoy feeding it live animals though. That's psychotic.
This guy started pumping out videos of his arthropod devouring mice.

^That is cruel.
What? What is cruel? I want to see, dammit!
EDIT. Now I saw it, guess it didn't just load or something.
Yes, that was overtly cruel.
