Cryptoterrestrials versus Extraterrestrials


Interesting movie, but it works much better within the context of Mac Tonnies' Cryptoterrestrial Thesis, than as a movie about little-green-men-from-Mars.

Do the Cryptos dress in jump suits with zippers down the back? How would they be different from the "little green men"?

What, hambone?

That's exactly what I thought of your OP. IFM is a movie. It has been made and is finished. From time to time we have the pleasure of viewing and enjoying it. How can the movie somehow "work better" within the context of someone's thesis-book? Does this occur in your mind?

Are you wishing for a movie remake that would spin the story that the invaders could actually be another race sharing the earth with us and for some reason need us to perceive them as being from Mars?
