From the Daily What:
Looks… interesting, but I don’t know. I’m kind of tired of invading aliens. There is also a TV show coming with this theme.
Well, aliens that stay home and mind their own business don’t create drama.
Or “aliens stop by, see the sights, buy a few postcards and go home again”.
Nice synchronicity.
Oh look! An allegory of Afghanistan!
I hope it’s more.
Don’t you understand? There are only two types of aliens in the universe:
-
Evil creatures who are here to invade/destroy our world/steal our women. Usually some slime is involved.
-
Wise and godlike benevolent presences.
(The one exception: Men in Black)
And thinking about it, has anyone else noticed that no alien ever has any hair? Don’t mammals exist on other worlds?
Chewbacca
Plenty of aliens with hair. Hairy little guys were one of the alien types that got reported in the 1950s. Just read Frank Edwards’ wonderfully bizarre books.
Ahem.
Ahemagain.
Ahem to the third.
I think he’s a reptile. Or at least a chicken.
Hmm, I tried to remember if we ever saw Mork’s nipples, but I started smelling burnt toast, so I stopped.
Heck, pick a random “alien” from Star Trek: TNG and stand them next to Captain Picard and it’s quickly obvious that hair alone is no guide as to who’s human.
Has anybody ever written a book where we go to another planet, perform experiments on their cow-analogs, kidnap their women, and finally invade with a fleet of flying saucers firing garish rays? Possibly only to be defeated by an aging alien bush-pilot with a drinking problem, his nerdy friend and a far younger female member of the species inexplicably attracted to him.
Yeah, it was called Columbus Day.
Good points; I was thinking in the past 20 years or so. I’m trying to think of a movie alien with hair any newer than the Ewoks.
There’s this guy. He’s just hair.
Well, and sneakers.
