What if aliens landed..and it was'nt USA.
page: 5share:
I hate to point out the obvious.... No in these kind of situations I love to do just that.
If the movie is made in America - they will market to Americans and use a location that is easy to identify with. That is what is going to make money.
If the movie is made in the UK - they will market it to the British folks and use a location that is easy for them to identify with. Again that is where the money is.
I am of course speaking of the rule and not the exception.
If you are on an American based website then... well I think you can tell where I am going with this.
Maybe there should be more international alien movies. Who's fault is that now? Oh that's right it is always Americas fault no matter what.
Those darn Americans with their big mouths. What a contradictory statement for someone running their mouth.

if the aliens asked my opinion, "take me to your leader", i'd have to say, please try somewhere else.
many countries seem to have more sane and functional governments than America.
the Germans and most Europeans are seriously more intelligent, just listen to their leaders and compare to the farce known as the US Congress.
the Brazilians and Chinese are easier to do business with, if that's what the aliens are looking for.
the USA has the military, but would the dysfunctional paralysis of Washington DC sanely deal with aliens?
if i be an alien, even Putin would make more sense, at least he has the power to make a deal.
anything Obama would agree to would be shot down by the Republicans.
there's a lot of decent people in America, but very few make it to Washington, even fewer that could be identified as intelligent.
If they said that to me I'd say. Only if your going to take her back to her planet!
Ya know I used to read these america bashing threads and dress down the clearly ignorant people who know nothing about this country. I have decided
not to do that anymore because here in america we have the right to believe what ever BS we want to believe no matter how wrong we may be.
So as an american I extend to all the america bashers who live elsewhere in this wierd world where we all live the same right I have. That is to believe any crazy BS they want to even if it is foolish and completely wrong.
As for the aliens I would recommend that you land in Canada. Have a couple of really good beers with the locals and find out what truely hospitable people are all about. While you are there have some really good Tim Hortons coffee and try the donuts.

You mean like the Matrix movies and Ghost rider and a whole load of others filmed in Australia that suprises Americans because there's tall buildings and tar roads and large open spaces and no Kangaroos everywhere?

I'm pretty sure aliens would come in a "big car and a mouth to match".
People have rights to do this.
even people who aren't human.
Better still. What if aliens are just Silicon addicts who ran out of it in their low-silicon area. What if they were nothing more than...space George Bush.
Huh. Then it would be logical for them not to land in America.

Why are you arguing with me, and disproving the thread at the same time? What sense does that make?
The movie the Matrix does not give a location so how is that even a valid point based on the debate here?
How about the x-files or Signs.... Yeah, and dozens of other movies. Two can play at that game.
Even though it is pretty pointless as I alluded to above. Why don't you go find some factual overall statistical numbers and maybe then I will play.

What the HELL are you talking about?!? Of COURSE it's the only place on EARTH! LOL!
By the way....I have been to the UK and a lot of other countries....including some really F'd up ones in the DESERT! I HATE THE DESERT! I don't even like going to the DESERT in the U.S.....JOB or FAMILY non-withstanding!
I like the BRITTS! They tend to be a bit sexually repressed but....It's all part of the charm! LOL!
Do you know why every time....well the majority anyway....that there is a movie or whatever...about E.T. and....I admit....the story always has the U.S. as the sole saviour of the Planet.
Anywho....reason why?....because we really are in the reality of things. Not that we have repelled some Alien invasion....which would erradicate the Human race in less than a week by some bio-weapon....but because the U.S. was the country that had the balls to make a deal.
We had something of theirs that they could have EASILY taken back by force....we made a deal that served Earths interest as well as one or two of the known multitude of races.
We went all USED CAR SALESMAN....and it worked! Split Infinity
Hey NASA found out about this thread and just sent this world map into space to make sure this scenario doesn't happen.

Shush you!
Let them crawl all over the amazing interwebs with all of this superiority and convince the brain eating aliens to land in their countries.
Dear, youre supposed to say, " Iv nebber been outta the good ol us of a .....go usa go usa go usa.... and my brain is so unexpanded that I probably really am not worthy for your invasion mistuh aliens. Hyuk Hyuk Hyuk! " Stick with the plan, dammit.
Simply hilarious. I swear, I DARE the aliens to go for a only a week of a London winter and not want to zap themselves with a space ray gun in the forehead. Besides, it seems the only thing they like in the US are our cows and corn fields... and the occasional friends with benefits situation.
Carry on. Its simply too funny to read these threads sometimes... and when they are meant seriously its a real laugh. Fighting over who's worthy or who has the correct culture for an alien invasion and is simply the most hilarious thing Ive read all weekend! Silly me! I thought WE were supposed to be the arrogant ones!

edit on 16-10-2011 by A51Watcher because: the usual
With the exception of the Britts and the Aussies....and the Polish....because they REALLY hatted being in the Eastern Block...the United States is
always left holding the bag....and always ends up cleaning up a mess that other countries have been making for centuries or decades....and then when
we actually do something.....we have to listen to everyone BITCH....as if they HAD NOOOO IDEA WHAT WAS GOING TO HAPPEN....and now they are all
APPALLED at loss of life and......and this part really PISSES ME OFF.......
They actually talk to the country that a few weeks previous....they were ready to declare war on....but now that we have done the dirty work for them....they are all....OH! How can we help you recover from what the BIG BAD U.S. HAS DONE TO YOU?
Makes me sick! Europe in general....and I have been there so I have the right to discuss what I have experienced....ALWAYS DOES WHAT'S BEST FOR EUROPE! Let's face it....until WWII and the U.S, as well as the CCCP....ended up occupying most of it for decades....if we hadn't....they would have reverted right back to another WAR!
Go to France....here is a country that was helping the NAZI's locate Jews who were in hidding just so they could get rid of them and take their property. When Poland was invaded....AND THE UNITED STATES WAS SCREAMING to European leaders that this would happen....they DID NOTHING!
I believe in any persons right to free speech but that doesn't mean I don't get pissed off listening to people spout off about things they know NOTHING ABOUT....and neither will they do anything about!
In the 80's...the U.S. under the Reagan Presidency decieded to deploy PERSHING II INTERMEDIATE NUCLEAR MISSLES in Europe to counter the massive Soviet buildup. These Missles were SUPER ACCURATE and could strike their targets....Soviet Mobile SS-20's....before they could launch.
This deployment is accredited with BREAKING THE BACK AND THE BANK OF THE FORMER SOVIET UNION. The Berlin wall would not have come down if this deployment never happened...still....although I have respect for anyone who is anti-nuke....the protesters in Europe went too far.
You have to understand what kind of person leaves his home in the U.S....leaves his family.....spends all of his life in a state of secrecy and the mental wounds this cause last a lifetime....all so that he can protect people in ANOTHER COUNTRY HE DOESN'T KNOW....and get spit on and have red paint thrown on his home in the U.S. because he is high ranking and his name was public so some smart protester tracked down his family and pulled that awful crap.
Of the considerable number of Military people I know.....NONE OF THEM WANT TO GO TO WAR! And when I read some misguided post here decrying the U.S. as some Warmongering Empire.....I will tell them this.................HOW ABOUT SOLVING YOUR OWN PROBLEMS FOR A CHANGE? WHY DID THE U.S. have to go to BOSNIA or the other former YUGO states? WHY?
I'll tell you why.....because there is a shortage of BALLS in EUROPE! Split Infinity

I think the aliens would evaluate countries according to their power, economic capability and psychological acceptance of other races.
They'd land in China.
They'd land in China.

I had this same complain but with the Japanese. Seems like they also think that Aliens land in their country too. Oh, wait. Maybe its becuase they are filming in Japan with most of the actors and money to fund the movies and locations are in Japan. Duh! Maybe I should have thought about that before I posted this!
