No one, not a soul, no one on earth: Me, drunk and Neurodivergent as fuck, smashing through the wall like the Kool Aid Man: “Zootopita is almost a beat-for-beat retelling of the 1988 sci-fi buddy cop classic Alien Nation staring James Caan and Mandy Patinkin, from the initial setup, right down to the McGuffin being a bright blue liquid drug that make the fantastic minority go violent, meaning that Zootopia and District 9 partly draw on the same source media. In this essay I will-"

I beg you to watch District 9 by Neil Blomkamp (2009)

If you love anything Sci fi and aliens and human-alien interaction then this is something you should have watched or need to immediately!

This movie along with Avatar and INTERSTELLAR have been my favourite for years. ( Also realising The fact that this movie came out in the same year as Avatar 🤯)

In a way it reminds me of the Avatar franchise. The human-alien conflict, evil corporation, human military, xenophobia, physical changes, both movies deal with real world issues, villains on a redemption arc.

The main human character (Wikus van de Merwe).... isn't good. He isn't the big bad villain (no that's the MNU), but he's a person in the system, listens to authority. He definitely is xenophobic, ignorant, and just very irritating. An all round ahole.

The main alien character (called Christopher Johnson by the humans) is a dad and his boy is with him on earth. And Chris is on a mission to get his son and all the aliens out of this hellish situation.

I'm not gonna say more for obvious reasons.

But Listen as a girlie who likes terrible and dumb dudes who are going to get hurt and possibly question everything, you know this would be a favourite.

To this day I'm still waiting on a sequel. District 9 is one of those movies you think to watch for fun...but then it exceeds your expectations. You will go back to again and again.

Oh and if you dare, read the book 'Cotton Wood' by R Lee Smith. It's inspired by this movie and it's a..um a romance 👀

Propaganda under the cut.

District 9:

You are not welcome here.

"I don’t remember anything from the film except that I was actively nauseous when Wikus began mutating."

An American Werewolf in London:

Beware the moon.

"Another classic werewolf body horror recc. The extended sequence of the main character transforming into a werewolf is textbook body horror. Bonus points for the undead people the main character talks to, their rotting skin and open wounds add a zombie-esque quality to the film."

"The scene where the guy changed into the werewolf absolutely traumatised me. None of the werewolf legends I'd read as a kid had ever made me think about how it happened, and werewolves in them always just looked like normal wolves. That was what made them intriguing -- did they exist or not? The obviously painful transformation scene of the film where bones were cracking and regrowing in new ways and flesh and skin was grotesquely stretching to cover the new shape of a horrific wolfman creature completely turned me off anything to do with werewolves ever again."
