E.T.
As of right now, my favorite stupid movie of all time is "Dreamcatcher." If you haven't seen it, you don't deserve to be living.
The reason I love it is because of the 5 essential points to having a good movie:
-Aliens
-ESP
-Buddies
-Death
-A big bully trying to put dog shit into this skinny little bastard's mouth
Aliens being the key (next to the dog shit.) Many people have their beliefs on extraterrestrial life. All I have to say is that if you believe in Aliens, you better believe in God. And if you believe in God, you better believe in Aliens. Because both are so uncomprehendably superb that They MUST exist. But if Aliens DO exist, the world has their view on them completely wrong.
We always see aliens as the green guy. Let's take into consideration that aliens are, IN FACT, green. Fine, I can buy it. We also perceive aliens as a virus, rather than a mammal or other being that has a purpose besides destruction. I wish I could be in alien meetings (because everyone knows that aliens can talk). I think it might go like this:
General: Alright, listen up my felllow aliens. Since we aren't actually a species of any one being, and we're just little green creatures with short-man's disease, I say we blow earth up. Any questions?
Private: 'Scuse me, commander? Why would we do this?
General: (Pulls out gun and shoots) Because we're heartless creatures with technology lightyears ahead of any other species and our ability to travel eons across the galaxy but inability to communicate civaly with any other living being makes us intolerant of other species and scared that one day they may want peace!
So we assume that aliens have basically started evolution over again and in the process, disregarded communication. I also love that every alien looks exactly the fucking same. When you walk down the street and see somebody you can say, "Hey, you look interesting! What's your ethnicity?" "Oh, I'm half black, half white, half italian, half persian, and half mandarin, thanks for asking!"
You walk down an alien street and see somebody and ask them the same question, "Hey, you look interesting! What's your ethnicity?" "Alien. I'm an alien, mother-fucker, what's it look like?" "Yeah, I know, but what about your cultural background, your race, even your gender? What's that all..." "I said I'm a fucking alien alright! Shit."
Aliens don't have races. They don't have religion. Alien IS the race. Right...
See, I'd like to believe that there's something out there. Because if you believe, and you're wrong, oh well, nobody's hurting you. But if you don't and some bigass alien slug wants to eat your face because you didn't believe he existed, then you've got a problem. But the whole damn origins and myths of aliens were created by idiots. It's like, scholars wrote the Holy Bible, and stoners wrote the Alien Bible. So the foundation for believing in aliens makes one look like a psycho, or even worse, a hippie. And believe you me, when the Aliens DO come to kill us all, they're gonna take those tree-huggers first.
So many originating flaws in the search for extra-terrestrial life make is impossible to not sound stupid. But then again, I guess I'm a little crazy for dedicating this much space to flippin Aliens.
