The only OSC novel I read was Seventh Son which was awesome.  I wanna read the rest in the series.

Only one I've read was Ender's Game, which is something I keep meaning to fix.

PM me your address and I'll send you the book.  (It might take a little while, but you'll get it)

Finally saw this last night, and I loved it.

Eitje, I thought one of the strongest points of the movie was how unlikeable Wikus was, at least at first. I felt sympathetic towards the aliens from the get-go, largely due to what a prick Wikus was. I also wasn't expecting him to remain as one of the central characters.

Also, this movie could easily have been called, "There Will Be a Sequel". There are way too many loose ends that need tying up for there not to be.

I hope the sequel involves laying the earth barren!

Also, I really liked that they maintained Wikus as an unlike-able character throughout the movie.  Even when presented with the opportunity for redemption & revenge over the dick mercenary character, his first reaction was cowardice.

With Wikus intended as a reflection of the ugly side of humans in a movie largely about prejudice, I like that they took him from wilfully ignorant/supportive of the status quo, promoted him to foot soldier on its behalf, and broke him down through the journey to the point where he had seen the totality of what was going on and was still too cowardly to give up the trappings of his former position and instead act on the knowledge of the situation...right to that final cowardice in the face of injustice, before he earned a small measure of redemption.

What he said.

I was thinking about this movie and thought about something.  Do you remember when they said in the movie that the reason why the aliens are useless is because they don't have a leader telling them what to do?  I was wondering if the alien that saved up all the fuel was the leader.  I was wondering if he never came forward as the leader because of fear?  He could've just made all of the others follow his lead since they are a hive-like society.  Why did he leave all the others behind?  WHY is this movie all consuming?!
