@Cash907Censored: I know. Oh gods. If the "This is really true guys, like totally believe us," vibe didn't clue you in, then wow, I don't know what to say. #thefourthkind
@Cash907Censored: What, I'm not allowed to make fun of fake documentaries now? What next, no making fun of Heroes? Do you want my life to be a barren wasteland of earnestness or what? #thefourthkind
@Annalee Newitz: It's funny to kick something that takes itself seriously, or at least try's to back up it's pretense.
Kicking a dead horse, or in this case, pointing at dead horse you've already kicked, and saying "Hey, that horse is still dead," is just a waste. A scintillating deconstruction of the latest episode of Heroes like a lab scene in CSI with a beat you dance to, not a waste.
@Annalee Newitz:
No no, make fun of it all you want, but when was the last time you double posted on a single ep of Heroes that didn't involve lesbian kissing action Claire? If there was anyone out there that actually thought this was a real documentary, well that's just sad. #thefourthkind
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
@Dr Emilio Lizardo: Its sad to say there are alot of people out there that believe if it says its "based on a true story" they believe all of it... #thefourthkind
@Dr Emilio Lizardo:
No, but see, it _is_ based on a true story. See, the guy who wrote the screenplay was sitting in a bar, and this other guy a couple seats away was talking loudly with his buddy about how it'd be cool if there was a cheesy film about alien abductions. Bing bang boom, and dude stumbles home with a completed screenplay written on bar napkins, based on the true story of him overhearing stuff in a bar. #thefourthkind
you mean that photoshoped extreme closeup of a barn owl's face isn't a photoshoped extreme closeup of a ALIEN barn owl's face?!? I have lost all faith in hollywood. #thefourthkind
@Brian Fowler:
No, he's Bat-Castrato. From the original picture it's pretty clear that he was dreaming of a career in opera singing, but he didn't have the body for the male parts. #thefourthkind
@AmishJohn: Hey the people who buy the tabloids, they buy American!
Think of all the photo-manipulators and now photoshoppers they have put through college.
Think of all the children who can eat a well balanced breakfast because their parents write for those tabloids.
Think of all the postal workers who continue to draw a paycheck because the non-sane continue to send their deranged writings in by snail mail, so the man can't read it with his internets.
So I say, scorn not the tabloids! At least in this grand country they're fit to print what ain't! #thefourthkind
Why spend all that money on making DVR footage look like bad home video? Just get an oldskool video camera and some tape! Hell, these materials are all still readily available--very cheaply, in fact. #thefourthkind
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
@Jonny_eh: Ahh, good point. That's pretty ironic, considering that technically, witches or at least, people who try practicing malicious magic actually do exist as opposed to aliens...at least that we KNOW of... #thefourthkind
@Jonny_eh: They "try" I didn't say they succeed, lol. But there are people who do practice witchcraft and seriously consider themselves real witches or magicians. That said, there may be folks who think they're aliens, but who am I to judge. #thefourthkind

What is it with you and dead horses lately anyway? What was it about this flick that got stuck in your craw so? #thefourthkind

They just want it to look like crappy old footage, but make it clear enough so people can watch the movie. Kind of a weird conundrum. #thefourthkind

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