Aliens: Do they exist?

[vershy versh]

Forget statistics and probabilities. What does your gut say? Is there intelligent life beyond this planet?

 

[luka]

Yeah course

 

[luka]

Imagine not believing in aliens lol how boring would you have to be

 

[vershy versh]

The truth is out there.

Would a fear of aliens fall under racism? Is it acceptable to be afraid of them?

Awful.

hmm maybe

Has anybody here seen a big white light in the sky and then had their genitals experimented on? That's the real question.

I guess 2001 was the first attempt to take the alien question seriously.

I liked Arrival because the aliens were so fundamentally ineffably different

E.T. is a greater film than 2001.

This is one of the major themes of E.T.

"In July 1982, during the film's first theatrical run, Spielberg and Mathison wrote a treatment for a sequel to be titled E.T. II: Nocturnal Fears. It would have shown Elliott and his friends getting kidnapped by evil aliens, and attempting to contact E.T. for help."

That sounds shit. The original E.T. is a masterpiece, though. Much better than 2001.

You ever read about the game?

"The final release was critically panned, with nearly every aspect of the game facing heavy criticism. E.T. is often cited as one of the worst video games of all time and one of the biggest commercial failures in video game history. It is cited as a major contributing factor to the video game industry crash of 1983 and has been frequently referenced and mocked in popular culture as a cautionary tale about the dangers of rushed game development and studio interference."
