Having seen it a second time, I was mistaken about a few things.
The police woman tells us that a lady in town was upset about skateboarders and spit on new skateboards at a store, and another lady threw a fit because a store didn't have her brand of cigarettes. I had incorrectly said a woman came into town, threw a fit, and spit on people and objects.
It is clear that Bo had the water quirk for a long time, it was not new as I said.
So the human saliva thing doesn't hold as much water. :wink:
But the person I saw it with today, who knew little about the film (and has in fact been out of the country for the past few weeks), said immediately upon the credit roll that Bo was an angel. There is an article floating around which makes the same argument citing ideas I have mentioned previously in this thead, considering the "aliens" as demons and the water as holy.
In any event, for those making various conclusions, the following is certain. We never see an "alien" killed by water. And we never see "alien" spacecraft, only lights, though the spacecraft are certainly suggested.
Incidentally, the presentation that I saw today was DLP (Technicolor DLP at Grauman's Chinese). The film presentation was far superior to the digital presentation.
