I've watched short clips of that movie out of morbid curiosity. It doesn't seem very entertaining.

Quote HistoryQuoted: True story. Sleep tight. Muhaha... To be fair, Travis Walton did say the movie made the aliens malevolent and that wasn't his experience. I lived in Snowflake part time for many years, never met him personally but everyone I knew that knew him when this went down said something happened to him, they just don't know what it actually was. So it's "true" in that sense. |

I prefer Communion to Fire in the Sky.
At least in Communion you get to see Christopher Walken shotgun a midget alien. |

The fact that all the other members of the forest clearcutting team made statements that corroborated (mostly) Travis Walton, I am convinced SOMETHING happened. It's pretty hard to keep a story as loony as that straight among 4-6 guys when interrogated repeatedly. That said, the movie scared the shit out of me, especially the part where he is depicted on the alien vessel under "examination". By the way, the area this supposedly happened was REALLY remote in the 1970's. It's still pretty wild country up there around the Mogollon Rim. |

I met and talked to Travis a few years ago in fountain hills for an alien convention. He’s a very humble Nice guy, I asked how accurate the movie was to his experience, he said it was exaggerated for the movie and he wasn’t thrilled with that. If you were to meet him you would never think he lied about his experience.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Did Whitley say he greased an Allen??? I don't remember that, but I don't remember "Communion" all that well... No, but the movie treats you to him taking a literal pot shot at one (as it is hiding behind a potted plant) with a shotgun. Plus there is just something about Walken's usual "Walken-isms" that makes Communion far more bizarre than Fire in the Sky. Fire in the Sky is kind of a straightforward monster scare movie, while Communion is far more mind-fucky. |

Saw the movie, read the book, eh. I am open to the possibility of ET, but let's acknowledge what it is: Belief in ET is a religion. It's faith without proof.
The distances are so vast, what are the odds that creatures have been traveling for millions of years to get here? And if they started millions, or even thousands, of years ago, they couldn't have been following fugitive radio signals that led them here. Maybe they smelled chili being prepared by Neanderthals? Beans or no beans, your choice. I want to believe....the truth is out there.... |
