aliens get a bad wrap

i saw the movie 'cowboys vs. aliens,' today. and without spoiling it too much for anybody, i'll just say it doesn't paint a pretty picture for aliens.

if anyone is scared of aliens or an alien invasion, the movies we make about them doesn't help alleviate that fear at all. you hardly hear anything about peaceful aliens. maybe E.T., but for the most part aliens from outer space are something to be scared of.

that's why if there are aliens that can get to earth, they're gonna be pissed when they get here! they're gonna see that we already demonized them before we met them. we didn't even give them the benefit of the doubt. if they don't show up pissed off, they will be once they catch wind of their reputation around these parts.

imagine some sort of alien envoy sent to earth to try and broker peace with us and to grant access to some sort of universal alliance of planets. if they see what we're saying about them, the deal would be off before it began. they'd either leave and ban us forever from their awesome universal alliance or destroy us and see it as a necessary and overall good thing for the safety of the universe.

c'mon hollywood. let's see some cool aliens. and i'm not talking about alf. dude ate cats. not cool.

somewhere out in the unknown depths of the universe, there's a kick ass intergalactic kegger going on. and for all we know, we're the only ones not invited. maybe aliens are watching our planet. maybe they've been watching and they already decided human beings are a buzz kill and no one wants them at their party.
