Someone is crankin up the "Scare the public" campaign...are you affraid yet?
When you are, they'll go public!

Cade no offense, but you choose to see those movies, they weren't forced on you.
People like scary movies and like secrets, that's why those movies are made the way they are (and to make money!). Most of our lives are pretty mundane with work so those movies have to be extraordinary to shake us up.
Also, aliens are part of our culture anymore, look at all the video games and movies made about them since the late 70's...they are very popular with the public.
And in the time of terrorism replacing communism as the threat from the unkown, we will see even more movies that play on that fear.
Based on your rational, I'd say we are prepared for the disclosure that Julia Roberts is about to take over the world and use her "chick flick ray gun" on us.

You do realize that the filmmakers here in LA are the most shallow people on the planet with one thing in mind - $$$$$ Ever watch Swimming with the Sharks- that's what really goes on - no kidding....
If the gov can get them to butter us up with their movies I be really amazed - come out to LA sometime and have a look for yourselves....

Cade, you say that we need to be scared in order for them to show us the evidence, then you say that we don't, and now you say...?
So why post in original post that we need to be scared then later on say we don't?
Flippity floppity, floppity flippity

The movies are just entertainment, they might frighten you a little bit or perhaps a lot but they are just movies. However, after watching Shark some might not go jumping in the ocean, but most are more calm than that. How ever, when they go public with the ultimate threat to our security, the aliens, those movies might pop up in your head. What news broadcast could frighten you involving aliens?

Okay if the government is actually nudging authors and producers toward making "evil alien" themed stories, then do you think that Orsen Wells was in on this conspiracy? If you could prove that he took money from the goverment to put out the war of the worlds radio show, then you definetly got something going. but what about all the movies during the 50s that were about Evil aliens? wouldn't we be able to find some sort of money trail too? someone would've came out already.

So you state that most people are going to be calm, not scared. What would make them scared in the first place? The movies (without knowing the about the evidence)?
