Brewster Rockit by Tim Rickard for March 22, 2019

I guess he had plenty of time to watch our movies after hearing The War of the Worlds.

“To Serve Ma… Umm, never mind”."

“Paul”?

And have you seen the Indian movie “Found Someone”?

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0254481 – The prequel to the “Krrish”-movies.

OK, the above are all spoofs, but…

Hey! Startrek!

Cocoon

Starman.

“The Day The Earth Stood Still” (the original). Earthlings weren’t exactly the good guys in that one.

Two of my favorites: “Son of the Stars” (Raymond F. Jones, a good alien trying to get back home), “Needle” (Hal Clement, a good alien trying to catch an evil one). These were written a very long time ago, but my favorite aunt had dug them up for me when I was a teenager stuck home with a high ankle sprain. Both novels feature teenagers.

It’s because you keep flying over our walls.

“Earth Girls Are Easy” — Made the Aliens look cool.

Just wait till you watch Giorgio’s TV shows, alien.

Alien, the movie, introduced us to face huggers and no one can hear you scream in space.

Don’t get him started on Mac ‘n’ Me.

Hollywood is blamed for being racist? That’ll hurt them. No more alien movies now. Thanks for nothing, Rickard!

Contact

Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure.

The Doctor: There’s a horror movie called Alien? That’s really offensive. No wonder everyone keeps invading you.

Media biased? You’re new around here aren’t you?

Please, please (oh, please)—"media" is a plural noun.

“Aliens” are people, too!

On the other hand, there is Deja Thoris, my childhood love brought to the big screen, and very nicely, as well.

Tribbles are cute. Do they count?

“Aliens” remake: “Build That Space Wall!”

“The Day the Earth Stood Still” In the 1950’s version, it was the human race that was the threat to galactic peace.

For a more recent positive example, there’s “Arrival.” And you could make a case for the alien Marvel heroes.

Cocoon?

Starman

Mom and Dad Save the World (1992)

“The Invaders” tv show (1967-1968), “V” both versions. “War of the Worlds” (1897).

His grandfather kidnapped my grandfather …

The man who fell to earth.

I concur with S.Gilberg. “Arrival” is one of the most sophisticated, thoughtful contributions to the extraterrestrial engagement genre, studiously eschewing all Hollywood’s beloved cliches. I was particularly impressed by the manner in which Villeneuve depicts the military, an institution that has almost invariably been portrayed in alien encounter flicks as mindlessly bloodthirsty and reactive.

“Alien” …Such a good mother!
