Seeing how no one else is stepping in to defend District 9, I'll offer up a counter-argument. I feel like D9 is one of the more significant contributions to the sci-fi genre in the last decade. A great social commentary on apartheid and racism in general wrapped in sci-fi action goodness. I don't think the AIDS allegory was necessarily the aim, although it is an interesting take. What this film does is push the apartheid (really just racism) debate in a direction a non-sci-fi film couldn't go. It thrusts the oppressor into the world of the oppressed. Wikus is not so much a representation as he is a point of view. One that shifts, beautifully, from one end of the spectrum to the other. Just my 2 cents. Hey Elwood!

No, number 2. I looked for “Black Dynamite” at Best Buy tonight, which might be the stupidest thing I have ever done at a Best Buy. No, number 2.

Even Samm Levine and BJ Novak - well known comedy actors with little to nothing to do in "Basterds" were perfect. Enjoyed the vocal cameos too - Sam Jackson, Harvey Keitel, Cloris Leachman... Quentin did us good this time around. .-= Elwood´s last blog ..<a href="http://untitledstoryofmylife.blogspot.com/2009/11/changes-in-latitude-changes-in-attitude.html" rel="nofollow">Changes in Latitude, Changes in Attitude</a> =-.

I felt like this was Tarantino finally proving that he knew how to do a Tarantino film. My friend and I were on the edge of our seats as we watched. I mean, that is the most stressful strudel I've ever seen! I loved Inglourious Basterds. I felt like this was Tarantino finally proving that he knew how to do a Tarantino film.
