Below is the first part of a story I'm working on, based on District 9.  I just couldn't let the theme go without doing it actual justice and exploring elements that the movie refused to tackle.  And so this story is fully based on a single character's point of view and written from his perspective, allowing me to really dig deep into character ( Read more... )

All right, before anything, I've got to state that I've had much more intellectual investment in this movie and its theme long before it was ever released; more than your average movie-goer simply attending to view aliens and action. With that said, I am admittedly applying much bias here.

God, I'm friggin' wiped out. Just woke up after working from 8:30 pm to 4 am, physically moving EVERY piece of furniture (desks, chairs, bookcases, you name it) out of their place in our store's back receiving area and placing them all in numerical order.
