Not being a TV watcher, I just learned about this new miniseries, Falling Skies http://www.tnt.tv/series/microsite/fallingskies/?SR=sr3_532313_ms , produced by Steven Spielberg, through Yahoo about an alien threat landing on earth a la 'Skyline' I guess. Seems to be a rash of 'entertainment' products on this topic.

A couple of weeks ago, Noory had two film producers on his show and pointedly asked how much these entertainment producers really knew and were 'leaking' into their productions.

The reply was that the producers simply watched for what people were interested in since they want to make sure they could sell what they wrote and produced. I think that is probably true--though I think it is also true that several producers like Spielberg know far more than the man on the street about what is really out there.

That said, I think it is also probable that these writer producers might be being manipulated with a mix of info-disinfo. Film maker Jay Weidner just came out with a fascinating study of the work of Stanley Kubric (2001, etc.) and how he was manipulated by the ptb, but still left slightly out of the loop. http://setyoufree.lefora.com/2011/03/07/jay-weidner-kubricks-odyssey-the-brotherhood-of-sa/

Maybe Steven Hawking was on to something...or maybe he was pressed into making the statement about aliens not being friendly to us as well (http://abcnews.go.com/Entertainment/late-night-comedians-joke-anthony-weiner/story?id=13857601)....bears investigation.

Mods, I just noticed this topic was being addressed under another offering by National Geographic--maybe we should combine these threads into Entertainment Media and Aliens?

Im watching the show as I write. They truly are out to scare us!!!
There may be good Ets as well as bad ones, but what is the purpose of instill fear in the population?

Just more Hollywood dreck in my opinion.

They want us to fear these "aliens" because then they can swoop in and implement their vision of a new world order.

I want to see a TV series where the politicians are the ones attacking people in their ships, etc.

It would be far more realistic and a testament to our times.
