And tastier. And we offer more variety, for hungry alien families that can’t decide whether they’re in the mood for Mexican or Chinese or Italian. America is the world’s food court!
Ask Neville Chamberlain.
Most alien invasions in the United States center on the major cities and landmarks. But there is the short story It came from Schenectady. And the movie Superman II had the aliens first invading the moon and then … Houston.
In conjunction with the release of the movie Independence Day, BBC radio broadcast a drama telling the story of what was going on in Britain during the movie’s events.
Does Bollywood make alien-invasion movies? Do those aliens invade India?
Well, if their ‘sensors’ picked up energy production/consumption, wouldn’t America be the logical choice?
Or maybe they just like the big American breasts.
Close Encounters of the Third Kind had them in Mexico first, returning American airplanes they collected over the gulf of Mexico. Then they put a ship in the Gobi, which shows their sense of humor. But eventually they help to Hollywood convention by buzzing Ohio and landing in Wyoming.
Undocumented aliens from outer space.
Them’s the best kind! ![]()
The humans, cylons, and cylo-human from Battlestar Galactica settle first in Africa, then migrate all over the world.
Because the USA’s still more exciting than Bucharest… on a Monday night.

But Movies have to cater to a broader audience
Especially around the butt area.

In Signs isnt that first video of the aliens from Mexico? A birthday party or something, wasnt it?

I haven’t seen the movie in awhile, but I think you’re right. I don’t remember the exact country it was in, somewhere in South America, though, IIRC.

Mexico is in North America.

I hope that was not a spoiler , I was trying to avoid all BSG related threads till the season 4 dvd came out.

In The Abyss, the aliens settle away from humans in deep ocean. Sensible. There’s a lot of good real estate down there if you don’t mind water.
Nevermind, beaten to the joke
Sutherland got it right.
To aliens the concept of “Country” would be meaningless.
Wanna explain how you know that? :dubious:

Better stay off the Internet until then!

Damn. Sorry about that. It’s all in how they get there and what happens. Can a mod spoiler that for me?
Because of our obesity problem, we cannot run away as quickly, and we are also therefore chewier.
That’s actually part of the plot (sort of) of a new Doctor Who story.

The aliens in the Thing attacked Antarctica. Which is either very stupid of them…or not particuarly ambitious.

I don’t think that’s an accurate description. The Thing crashlands on earth and goes into hibernation. It then attacks (possibly in self defense) the humans who wake it up. It isn’t a planned invasion.
