    I need more info on "Gladiators vs Werewolves," I'm not sure I get it.

    Seriously, when I read the title, I thought "why don't the werewolves just turn the gladiators to create a group of super-lycanthropes?" How come the organizers of these games don't see that coming? #werewolves

    So somebody actually believed this was real?

    It's like when Mrs Emilio Lizardo protests that it's "based on a true story" and I agree that yes, "once there was a man...." Everything after that is acomplete crock. #thefourthkind

    I interviewed Richard Kelly over at Starwars.com more about The Box, his music choices, NASA and of course his recent trip to Skywalker Ranch here if any of you want to read it:

    The Neurosonics Audiomedical Laboratory is clearly performing experiments the nature of which are crimes against the laws of God and Man.

    Blackout looks like a great sci-fi premise, but I cannot for the life of me figure out why everything sci-fi has to be turned into a bloody mess of a horror film.

    FX for college logo t-shirts? Nobody thought to just, you know, buy a frakin college T-shirt?

    Wasn't The Blair Witch Project marketed as "based on true events"? Granted maybe they didn't go as far as to say it was the whole sworn truth, but it's the same gimmick. Whats the big deal? #thefourthkind

    @firstanointed: Maybe the difference is that nobody really believes in witches? (or not many)

    On the other hand, loads of people believe in alien abductions. #thefourthkind

    Now that the video footage is out, there are obviously forces that are trying to discredit it.

    I just spoke to an insider and she said that "unknown forces" are trying to discredit the film by driving the rating on Rotten Tomatoes down to 15 percent and posting reviews that the film "sucks" and "blows donkey balls."

    "This is all the proof you need that they are trying to keep the truth from getting out there," said my inside source.

    Pretty damning evidence. #thefourthkind

    @twophrasebark: Wow, my brother must be in on the conspiracy. He said it was an absolute piece of horse manure and that I should avoid seeing it at all costs.

    I wonder, is he under mind control, or have the aliens replaced him with flash clone? #thefourthkind

    @LoganAdams: I think Sarah Palin is probably an alien in disguise. She used mind control to get McCain to choose her for VP. Some people in Alaska had figured it out and that's why she resigned as Governor.If you listen to the audiobook (many of her fans can't actually read) of "Going Rogue" you will be hypnotized into her cult of alien worship. Also.

    is this allowed though? their whole advertising campaign is "based on true events". i mean if they made up the doctor, and footage, and study, and results etc isnt that false advertising?

    also i took one look at the 'archive footage' and knew it was super fake. like heidi montag fake. #thefourthkind

    @GreyHammer: That's a really good question. You really need a mass media lawyer to answer that.

    "False advertising" cases are pretty hard to make, though. It's not just what they say, but the context and the product. In this case, it's a movie about alien abductions. You'd have to show that audiences had a reasonable expectation to believe that the movie was real. Remember: Movie. Alien abductions. It's not just based on what they say. #thefourthkind
