Hey there Escapees. I, probably like many of you, went to see District 9 on its opening debut day. I went with my Mother, sister, and father as a family outing. I had high expectations due to the verbal non-sodomizing Movie Bob gave it. Well half way through i decided that this was probably my favorite movie of the year. The social commentary was great, the characters well developed, and it was a good action flick as well. However as I walked down the little ramp out of the door of the theatre i was singing its high praises when my mother gave a blatant disregard to my new favorite movie of the year. Upon further investigation, she stated that she wondered about the following things:
1) Why do the aliens like cat food? They spend so much time talking about it but never explain it.
2) If the aliens were smart enough and advanced enough to get here, why couldnt they get home? Wouldnt a race of beings that intelligent have a back up plan for running out of gas?
3)
I was quick to come to the movies defense but like a brick to the 'nads I realized I couldn't come up with a substantial enough response to validate those questions.
My question to you Escapees is this: Do you have an answer to ANY of these questions? And did you like the movie?

Why was the black man at the end arrested for blowing the whistle on the company, if he'd done nothing wrong legally?
