If you haven't figured it out yet, this whole list is written in a tongue-in-cheek manner. You're not supposed to take it seriously! Also, you're wrong about the "storytelling needing romance" hypothesis. There are a lot of classic stories with very few female characters which are still being discussed to this day. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Everyman_(play) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beowulf http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Song_of_roland http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Book_of_Job John Carpenter's "The Thing" is a movie without any female characters and few people bash that for being a "mindless" flick. In fact, many people now consider it to be a classic sci-fi film. http://outpost31.com/media/All_About_The_Thing.pdf How about "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly"? Not much romance in that film, yet it's considered one of the greatest westerns ever made. I Am The Dominant Hip Hip Hoorayer…CALM DOWN!

Maybe because it was French it was ineligible? And "Hoop Dreams" and "Crumb" should have been straight up Best Picture nominees. I never understood why a film can't be eligible for both.

]]> Comment on Is “The Fourth Kind” real or fake? Secrets revealed by Mike http://www.scene-stealers.com/blogs/is-the-fourth-kind-real-or-fake-secrets-revealed/#comment-18958 Mike Fri, 20 Nov 2009 16:03:46 +0000 http://www.scene-stealers.com/blogs/is-the-fourth-kind-real-or-fake-secrets-revealed/#comment-18958 Not to double post or anything, there's a lot I have to say. If aliens abduct you and you're scared, you're just a scared abductee. Fear should play no part in your life, of anything misunderstood. If you fear the unknown then everything in your life will dominated through fear (as circumstances usually manifest from the unknown). If a black eyes cigarette wannabe comes and takes you, go with it. Do a little dance, make jokes and sing. I think that'd creep the alien out more than a stupidly annoying high pitched scream (which any mortal and intelligent life form would want to silence with due haste). Or go one better, lay a trap, wait for the alien to come and abduct him/her/it, take it to see the fourth kind yourself and see if it shifts uncomfortably in its' chair, if so, it's real! Bingo. Solution! Not to double post or anything, there’s a lot I have to say.

Me and a friend were discussing the ramifications of the aliens accidentally abducting the toaster or the fridge - I have reason to believe people on this discussion board would do well to obtain a sense of humor. If the footage was real, and not a meretricious attempt to distort actual facts, then it's pants-shittingly good. The aliens make reference to scripture and God, most Christians think aliens are demons. That's not to say they are demons, but if I were to try and convince a silly (half) intellectual being that I was God, I probably wouldn't abduct them and subject them to extreme pain. Maybe we offend God though every time we pretend to understand his motives and thoughts. Maybe, just maybe, WE are the messed up ones. Get the book "the only planet of choice", good stuff. Another thing, the script for the aliens is like hagiography, if it was scripted at all. Aliens quoting scripture, geez. If these smokey eyes gray thin sticks start quoting scripture to me, I'll throw myself of their ship !_!..... God isn't found in scripture it's found in life, children and nature.

The woman cursed the family. That's why Larry was dealt problem after problem and why every solution was actually a new problem. In the end, the curse was being pass onto the son--he's finally able to pay the $20 bucks, but . . . well, I don't want to spoil anything. “confused by the lengthy opening scene” That was the entire point of this movie!

First of all, alot of those movies DO have romance in the plot itself. Without the romance, the movies turn into FREAKING MINDLESS VIOLENCE. WHERE'S THE SOTRYLINE IN THAT?!?! Clearly none of you have ANY appreciation in the art of storytelling. I admit, some romantic scenes in movies can make the plot predictable, but is that seriously the woman's fault????Have you ever actually watched "Interview With The Vampire" or read it???? Louis is a total whiny pathetic WIMP who does NOTHING. CLAUDIA, THE GIRL, IS THE ONE WHO KILLS LESTAT AND DOES ALL THE BLOODSHEDDING! IF SHE WEREN'T IN THE STORY, IT WOULD BE NOTHING BUT LESTAT BOSSING LOUIS AROUND CALLING HIM A COWARD WHILST LOUIS CRIES HIS WIMPY TEARS OUT. And what about Alien 3? The girl there is a hard-core buzz cut woman who kills aliens with guns and bombs and dives into a lake of molten lava while all the men around her scream for help? WHO'S THE FAIR, NON-GUN BASHING ONES NOW???? So really, if you cant respect the stories for what they are, blame it on the superficial men who bother saving hot women cos of their bod. It's not the woman's fault that they happen to get mixed up in the man's buisness. Maybe men shuld just pick girls who aren't such hopeless sluts as the heroine. Jeesh. YOU PEOPLE ARE IDIOTS.

Having said all that, I just enjoyed the movie! Who cares if it's fake or not? I had absolute CHILLS running down my spine when the camera panned in a circle around the owl, and it followed the lens, twisting its head in a full circle, its black eyes looking so alien-like...

That argument for any work of fiction is retarded, it's fiction, fantasy, not real meaning it doesn't have to function under the rules of the real world. Say you didn't like a movie because you found it boring but the "it's not realistic" argument has no support.
