Yes, good stuff.  I prefer Earthers as well.  Earthlings reminds me of:

"Greetings Earthlings, take me to your leader."

Re: Aliens in the Media

soon as i read Wanderin'gs post about "this season we make contact" i immediately thought of a movie trailer i'd seen recently for The Island. It's about cloning.

et voila

wandering's next thred was about falun gong leader talkig about cloning.

weird!

Re: Aliens in the Media

I saw the movie "The Island" today.  I'll write something up later on the movies thread. 

I liked the movie.  I think that it presents a plausible scenario for hidden cloning operations.  Also, it's more than just about cloning - the movie includes manufactured realities, mind programming, the desire for power and control - and what it may take to go beyond these constraints.

All set within the package of the hero's journey.

Re: Aliens in the Media

Its been mentioned a couple of times here on other threads, the movie Monsters Inc. The Monsters represent higher dimensional aliens feeding of the fear of children, with the voice of Mel Gibson who seems to appear in quite a few symbolic movies.

I wonder what  the reasons may be to push these themes in the media.
I dont really know but maybe its reverse brainwashing it could either hide the truth by putting it in full view thus causing dis-association of fact from fiction, or as some have said its a mental preperation for coming events, or they could be having a jolly good laugh at us all smile

Its not like we are fractions of the whole but rather versions of the whole.

Re: Aliens in the Media

I'm glad you mentioned Monter's Inc.  I think that it is a remarkable movie.

I think that humor is an excellent reason to put alien themes in the media.  Us humans are busily going about our lives and so many people have little or no idea that there may be this huge diversity of intelligent life all around us.

It's funny and ludicrous and ridiculous all at the same time. 

I think that preparation for coming events is a valid idea.  On the positive side, there may be people and entities who are preparing us and educating us.

On the negative side, there may be people and entities who are seeking our free will permission so that they can continue with and advance their agendas without coming up against free will violations.

And yes, there is the idea of confusing us on fact vs fiction.  Oh, I saw that in a movie or on a tv show - so that can't be real.

Kaching. Kaching. How's that for a reason?

Universal fascination. Universal longings. Universal questions. Universal fears. The biggest boogey men, aliens. Besides, terrorists have been "done" to death. The "thrill" is gone. Being blown up almost seems tame compared to being eaten alive, a la War of the Worlds, Body Snatchers, etc.

If I were to write a novel, or a script for a movie, and I wanted to have a commercial success [doh] I would certainly create a story/plot that involved aliens. Guaranteed money maker. T&A has been done to death, non? Well, maybe not, but you get my drift?

Sorry if my response aint lofty, but I'm regressing to lower/common denominators these days. I just feel that we're somehow getting way ahead of ourselves, in a way. Don't know how to express this better. Sometimes there are just base, simple reasons for why people do things.

I think that you express yourself quite well.  Money is a significant motivator.

I guess H.G. Wells got things started in this period of the past hundred years or so with his book War of the Worlds.  I'm trying to see if there is a trend regarding aliens in the media.

If aliens continue to resonate with the public with regard to fascination, longings, questions, and fears, then I wonder why?  Is something being reflected to us?

Re: Aliens in the Media

There's a new cartoon comedy show called "American Dad".  Funny!!  (in my opinion)

The Dad is a CIA agent - more the bureaucratic type rather than the "go on missions" type.  To fill out the family, there's the Mom, the 18 year old daughter and the 13 year old son.

Plus an alien named Roger that lives in the attic and is part of the family, but is not allowed to leave the house.

On top of that there is a goldfish named Klaus who speaks English and German and has a criminal mind – the result of a CIA experiment gone seriously wrong.

The show is in it's first season and hopefully it will come out on DVD - for all of you who have gone beyond cable tv.

Re: Aliens in the Media

Here's a strange miscellaneous thing to add to this thread.   It may or may not be something, but I thought I'd toss it out there, see if anybody agrees.  But the latest fashion trend being promoted by Hollyweird Starlets which you'll see paraded on all the mag covers and in the media is a look that looks very Gray-like.    You thought there were waifs in the 90's...well, you ain't seen nothin' !    The starlets of today weigh about 80 pounds soaking wet, and are all jutting bones, ribs, spines and long skinny limbs.   Their heads are too big for their wasted bodies, and it looks like their skinny little necks won't be able to hold up the Bobble Head - there's a term for this in fact, called "Lollipop Heads."   Their hair is thin and wispy / scraggly, often dirty and unkept...and that's WITH the extensions glued on.  They still barely have hair. (what's with the whole "extensions" thing anyway??  I didn't even realize til recently that MOST of the starlets you see have mostly fake hair....what the hell's going on with that??)    They look like crack heads.   There's no breasts, hips, butts or curves to speak of.  They pile on huge bag-lady looking clothing, necklaces of humongous beads, which help dwarf their pre-pubescent boy bodies even further, and then top of the look with these huge "bug eye" sunglasses on their tiny faces, creating the effect of Gray eyes almost.  Then they're paraded around in public.

Most people probably don't notice, but for those who actively partake in the media I wonder what this conditions the mind to accept after awhile!  "A Gray?  Oh, no big deal, not shocking, I've been looking at bodies / heads / eyes like that for years now.  A wispy haired, lollipop headed hybrid?  Ahhh!  That's NOTHIN'!"

It's astounding when you look at what the women of the 30's - 50's looked like versus the skanked out crack head looking anorexics we see now.   Women back then looked like women, with curves and healthy hair.  Now we have these alien headed, alien bodied starlets all over the place.   It's funny, because I called the Olsen twins bug eyed aliens last year on some forum, and a few people responded enthusiastically to that, liking the link, then I saw them using the term later down the line, and now, you'll find people all over the 'net calling these girls aliens!  haha  I'm not taking responsibility for starting that, buuuut, I do wonder!  big_smile  hmmm...    But on the other hand maybe others are just noticing this too.  They really do look like aliens.
