You gotta love forums!!! I wish that I had transcripts from the EXUP-Brotherhood board I was on back in the day, All the arguments about removing your valve or modifying the valve would go on for DAYS!!!

And yes, Ven der moron is a moron. Again, illustrating the shortcomings of mankind in critical situations.

Yeah. Thats the same thing missionaries used to do to "savages" they met on their trips. They would ignore their given names and give them civilized Christian names.

That movie was based on a short film but the director that was on YouTube:

Well I finally saw it. Not really impressed. I'm not a fan of cinéma vérité to start with, so that fake documentary business doesn't sit well with me. Add to it a character that it's hard to sympathize with and it's pretty much done for me.

Not to mention plot holes you could drive a truck through, and people acting in ways that defied all possible logic

Visuals were good, but aside from that it was pretty meh.

i did think it was interesting that the Nigerians were depicted as being almost as foreign and inhuman as the prawns, though...

They should have been more foreign and inhumane.

I saw it yesterday, I enjoyed it. Typical Sci-Fi movie, interesting storyline, believable characters, it had a message, but it never interfered with the story, some kick ass alien weapons too.
