Finally saw District 9

Things learned:

  1. Nigerians are more bestial than insectoid alien invaders.
  2. All Earth governments are too dim to realize they could acquire a shit-ton of advanced alien technology in exchange for a shopping cart full of cat food. Nigerians may be subhuman monsters, but they’re brighter than everybody else on the planet.
  3. Seriously, for a movie that was supposed to be about xenophobia, the portrayal of Nigerians was pretty shocking. Or maybe the movie was secretly in support of, or at least neutral toward, xenophobia?
  4. Apartheid would’ve ended a lot sooner if Mandela and the ANC had cobbled together a few mechas.
