Wasn't Chaney's name "Butcher" in that picture? And I remember Robert Shayne and Joe Flynn as scientists. Oh, yeah, and Max Showalter aka Casey Adams. I used to do a killer imitation of Max. I would call him up at his home in Chester, Conn and, in his voice, say "every time Mrs. Kissell breaks wind, we...beat the dog!" and hang up!

WHAT BOYS WANT---movie underway starring Selena Gomez as a teenage girl who can hear what boys are thinking.

Basically, a teen girly version of What Women Want, which will thus be nowhere near as interesting because we are not as complicated as women.

Somebody else already summed up this movie perfectly:

Here's how it will be.....
"I want to find out if this boy likes me"
"Eww Teenaged Guy Stereotype Joke"
"Eww Teenaged Guy Stereotype Joke"
"Eww Sex Joke"
Stuck in Boys Locker room joke
"He's not like other boys he truly likes me"
The End

Sadly, I don't see it being much different from that. I doubt Gomez will even still be known in another ten years. There's not much there.

I'm going to see the 4th Kind today at 4:30, I'm excited. I have not read much about it as I don't want to, Alaska 1960's or 70's, I forget and someone interviews people. That's all I know. I read some brief comments on imdb and most have really enjoyed it and said it was creepy!!!

Well, I thought The Fourth Kind was twaddle. Contains spoilers (otherwise I'd cut'n'paste here):

HOLY CRAP. I have never seen a film like that. I loved it. My hair stood up so many times and my eyes were so close to watering for some reason. I think because it was so un-nerving, so unsettling. I have heard they mixed authentic footage and the dramatization new footage, but the mixture was quite creepy. I believe the story, as with the universe so large, to think we are the only ones is a bit naive and silly. I may need to get a beer to calm myself down, I'm still a little shaky. I hope others enjoyed the film as much as me. I'm trying to get my friends to see it, but after my explanation they are a tad nervous!! he he heee

It may be silly to think we are the only ones out in the universe, but I have always thought it was far sillier to believe that if there are people on other planets that they would, 1) Built a spaceship that 2) Goes into deep space and 3) Just happen to discovers a planet with life on it like their own, then 4) Flies back home and gets all the right equipment to 5) Return to Earth. Abduct people. Put them back. Then leave with these people as the only proof they were ever here.

Um, yeah. Sure.

you're trying to apply human rationale and thought process to alien minds....something we cannot fathom. Who can say what the motives are? IF these abductions are real there may be a parallel reality component involved...not just "them coming across space to here in ships". Of course some fundamentalist types believe it's all the work of 'the devil" but why would a "devil" need metallic illuminated ships?

Why? We've done exactly the same thing - travelled across vast distances, grabbed some of the indigenous life forms and carted them away to find out what makes them tick. Only difference is, the animals that human scientists have done this to don't need to have their memories wiped as they don't have the sentient brainpower to understand what happened to them. That's all we are - the equivalent of strange new animals to the alien anthropologists.

Same with crop circles - there's no point in us trying to decipher them because they're not aimed at us. It's like a bunch of sparrows trying to understand the "Missing Dog" posters that have been nailed to their tree overnight.

so who are the crop circles aimed at? ( I am not necessarily a believer that crop circles are made by ETs...the patterns appear very human to me...like these are being made from orbit by some type of particle beam from a military satellite)

I really, really hope your last comment is facetious.
