For those of you that might not have seen this movie, it is something else. For one it can appeal to both those that are "believers" and those that are "non-believers". Because this movie isn't just about an alien invasion, it is also about a man trying to find his faith in this world.

I was just sitting here watching it with my wife, while my son sleeps and it occurred to me. I should see more in this movie then just aliens coming to invade Earth. But that is all that I can see. There is nothing more to this movie than that. But others might take more from this movie then I do. The character Graham, explains something about humans and how they might view a situation such as an alien invasion.

People are a part of two separate groups.

Group One --

These people are basically optimistic. The aliens coming to earth, may not necessarily have malevolent intentions. They could be nice peaceful aliens, but then they might not. But that is not what makes them who they are. You see, they look at such an instance as a 50-50 chance, whether they are benevolent of malevolent they know that they are not alone in dealing with this situation and that there is someone watching over them and protecting them. They see things as signs, not just luck or coincidence. They are more apt to look beyond the situation itself and see it as a sign of things unseen. They may be scared, but they do not feel alone.

Group Two --

These people are basically pessimistic. If such a situation were to happen, they would feel that these creatures have come to do us harm. They don't know how to deal with the situation because they feel that no matter what happens they are alone in dealing with it. And that fills them with great fear. They are the kind of people that look at situations as nothing more than luck or coincidence and nothing more. They know that there is no one for them to turn to, they are alone and scared.

We all look at situations in life with different viewpoints. Some see a situation such as alien presence here on earth ridiculous. It is not that they don't have faith, they just don't see the evidence that we have at our disposal as convincing. Whereas those that know that there is something out there beyond the human race, see it because of what they see as evidence of alien lifeforms.

But some would say that the "believers" rely on faith that there are aliens among us. This is because "non-believers" do not think that the evidence that we do have is conclusive enough. Because they are more faithful in the things that they see as more evident.

Which brings me to my perplextion.

Nines times out of ten, "non-believers" are believers of God, or at least spiritual. Those that are "believers" are usually agnostic, atheists, or just not affiliated with any religion or spiritual practice. So why is it so easy to believe in God and spirits, but so hard to grasp the idea of alien beings somewhere in this universe? Is it because that they are trained to listen and obey, with the guidelines of the Bible, and nothing more? Or is it that such free thinking would detract from the control that a religion needs to have on its parishioners.

That may be just the way that I have noticed that people view God and the existence of alien life.

So a few questions?

1) If you have faith that God is with you, would the belief in alien beings detract from your faith in God?

2) Are you a Group One or a Group Two person?

3) If you do not feel that there is alien beings out there, what do you base that upon? Is it because of your faith in God?

4) If you are a "believer", as I am, where do you feel that this belief comes from?

5) If God created man, is it so far-fetched that he created other life forms on other planets?

My answers --

1) Is really not applicable as I don't believe in God anymore or practice religion. But when I did I still kept an open mind as to the possibility of other beings besides man.

2) Group Two

3) I do believe in alien beings.

4) I think that it is asinine for mankind to think that they are the only intelligent beings inhabiting a planet. Whether you believe in God or evolution, there is great evidence, residing in common sense and an open mind alone, that lend to the fact of all the planets in all the galaxies that we are the only ones here. It would be like a realtor buying a entire municipality and only inhabiting one home and leaving the rest empty. It just wouldn't make sense.

5) No it is not. I guess I kind of answered that in answer 4.

"(Trilling and Droning)"

the darkness within

it swells like a festering boil
like the regurgitation of some foul meat
pushing harder and harder
reaching for the top
until it spews out like said foul meat
festering and festering
like the anger so intense
until the hulk in us all breaks out
with all the righteous anger
with all the hate
and all the violence

the darkness cannot be kept at bay
there is nothing to hold it from it's path
no matter the effort made
not nothing can stop this emotional juggernaut

so it sits and festers
laying dormant
to the right time
where it will be released
and when it is
when it breaks free
and is spread upon this world
seeping into every dark corner
and ever dank basement
and ever soul
i don't think that there will be anything to stop it
not even
your God

Bettie Mae Page (born April 22, 1923), sometimes known as Betty Page, is an American model and pin-up girl, active mostly in the 1950s. She is said to have been photographed more than Marilyn Monroe and Cindy Crawford combined.

In addition to common pin-up photos, Page also posed for a number of fetish photos, which earned her a cult following even beyond fetish culture.

Bettie Page has to be one of the most interesting and sensual women I have ever seen.  My wife has long got past my obsession realizing that this is just that, an obsession.  After all, Bettie is now old enough to be my grandmother.  But she held a man's attention like no other woman has.  The above quote from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bettie_Page says that she was photographed more than Marilyn Monroe and Cindy Crawford combined, and that seems like a surprise?  I mean Bettie had more sexuality than any woman on the planet.  She was the woman that every man thought that he could be with, but knew in his heart was more than he could ever have handled.

 

What was it that made Miss Bettie so alluring?------->

 

Need you ask?  Here is a woman that had all the sensuality that was all girl next door, and at the same time, naughty, naughty, naughty.  She was the pinnacle of sexual freedom.  She teased you with her face, and her eyes.  She taunted you with her body, and yet you felt you could never take her up on her offer, because the feeling of disappointing her was too great.

She has probably found a new home in this generation.  As you can see she has been put on t-shirts, calenders, stickers, and other things for the pleasure of this generation.  http://www.hottopic.com/store/searchSKU.asp?LS=0&DOIT=YES&SSTR=Bettie+Pageation. 

So the appeal is still there.  No matter the generation, men have always found that this woman is the height of sexuality.  Is it just me?  I dunno.  I would hope to think that tastes have not changed so much that a man cannot discern such beauty. 

There is something that is so untouchable about her.  Something that reaches into the core of you carnal desires, and slaps you straight in the face.  And your like "holy shit" is that not the hottest woman ever?  I doubt it.  Tastes in what is acceptable to think of an attractive woman have changed so much since Bettie tantalized men in the 1950's.  It is strange as to what changes in society.  I personally can't understand how any man could not enjoy

such beauty!---------->

 

I will go ahead and leave you with some of the greatest of wikipedia, as they summarize better than I could some of this about Bettie Page.

Thank you for your attention . . .

Born in Nashville, Tennessee, Page's parents divorced when she was 10 years old, forcing her and her sister to live for a year at an orphanage. A strong student and debate team member in high school, she reportedly missed earning the title of school valedictorian and a scholarship to Vanderbilt University by a quarter of a grade point.

On June 6, 1940, Bettie graduated, honored with a trust fund of $100, and she enrolled at Peabody College, with the goal of learning to be a teacher. The next fall, Bettie began to learn dramatic arts, with the faint hope of becoming a movie star. She also found her first job, typing the manuscripts of author Alfred Leland Crabb. Page graduated from Peabody with a Bachelor of Arts degree in 1943. She married Billy Neal, who had attended high school with her, who shortly afterwards left her for active duty in World War II, and whom she divorced in 1947.
