[QUOTE="Villano, post: 1733758, member: 505"] I just remembered another one, [B]The Mothman Prophecies[/B]. The movie has been described as an average X-Files episode. That's still a million times better than the book, which is typical UFO conspiracy theory stuff. To cite some examples of the book: The author, John Keel, claims that UFOs aren't from other worlds but other dimensions and that they were the inspiration for leprechauns and other magical creatures. What's funny is that he mocks those that believe they come from space. As if one theory is more credible than the other. :\ Then he talks about a teacher or professor who commited a series of burglaries and blamed it on being abducted by aliens. Keel then asks the reader if aliens are brainwashing people to commit crimes, to which he replies, "The disturbing answer is yes" (or words to that effect). He then goes on to say that many assassins have claimed to have been guided by "God", including the killers of Abraham Lincoln! :eek: That's right, ole Honest Abe was murdered on order of aliens. And, if you follow Keel's trail of logic, Lincoln was killed by alien leprechauns from another dimension! :lol: Makes "average X-Files episode" look good, doesn't it? EDIT: In case anyone missed my point, Keel maintains that his book is non-fiction. It's supposed to be about his investigation of the Mothman sightings. That's what makes the Abe Lincoln thing funny. :) [/QUOTE]
