TESTEMONAIL:  Right and Discordianism allows room for personal interpretation. You have your theories and I have mine. Unlike Christianity, Discordia allows room for ideas and opinions, and mine is well-informed and based on ancient philosophy and theology, so, my neo-Discordian friends, open your minds to my interpretation and I will open my mind to yours. That's fair enough, right? Just claiming to be discordian should mean that your mind is open and willing to learn and share ideas. You guys are fucking bashing me and your laughing at my theologies and my friends know what's up and are laughing at you and honestly this is my last shot at putting a label on my belief structure and your making me lose all hope of ever finding a ideological group I can relate to because you don't even know what the fuck I'm talking about and everything I have said is based on the founding principals of real Discordianism. Expand your mind.

District 9 was

FUCKED.

UP.

But I loved it because of the battle scene. Also it isn't that ambiguous of an ending, it's pretty obvious what happened to him.

A Tucsonite is like a Christian in several important ways.  For one thing, they believe what they say about their god in the most literal, straightfaced way possible.  For another, they both know their god can hear them.  The difference between the two, however, is quite vast in terms of their relationship with their god; Christians believe in His benevolence, but Tucsonites KNOW of The City's spite and hate.

There are people who think the ending was ambiguous?  :?
My shit list: Stephen Harper, anarchists that complain about taxes instead of institutionalized torture, those people walking, anyone who lets a single aspect of themselves define their entire personality, salesmen that don't smoke pipes, Fredericton New Brunswick, bigots, philosophy majors, my nemesis, pirates that don't do anything, criminals without class, sociopaths, narcissists, furries, juggalos, foes.

I thought District 9 was great....I just wonder how they're going to handle the sequels.  There is a lot of potential for the original theme of the first movie to be undercut if, say, an alien fleet shows up in force and asks the SA Government "WTF are you doing to our people?"

The last science fiction film that I saw and loved was Timecrimes. A guy ends up traveling one hour into the past and is morally flexible about getting his other self into the time machine so that he can return to his life. The plot is fairly easy to follow because it's about self deception more than logical paradoxes.

Watch it before the remake is released.  :argh!:
