Anyone know what movie this is?

[kermit911]

It starts out on this farm, and the dad is video taping this birthday party. <br />Well this light comes out of the sky right past the window. So they go <br />outside to investigate and it's this alien space ship. So they run inside <br />and lock all the doors and windows. Well this little girl is drawing a <br />picture and her mom says let me see. So the girl hands her the picture and <br />it's a picture of the alien. Her mom says where did you see this and she <br />points at the window. At the end of the movie it pops up like a file number <br />and says if anyone has seen these people please call this phone #. <br /><br />Has anyone seen anything like this or know what it's called?<br /><br />Thanx<br />Kermit911

I propose a mortorium on these "Anyone know what" threads.<br /><br />When someone who has never been here before turns up and opens his batting spell with an attempt to TAKE from the communial kitty without having first GIVEN to it, they make all of us poorer. <br /><br />What we need from kermit911, is for him to first go to the "What sci fi have you finished recently" and the "Who's the sexiest person on TV Scifi and movies" and even Cherry2 s' threads, and contribute something, we WANT kermit to join in, we WANT his ideas and thoughts, right?.<br /><br />This isn't getting at you personally kermit911 I welcome you to the board, for all I know you ARE already a contributor somewhere, but the Scifi thread needs your ACTIVE support, not to be ONLY taken from, you ought to share with us too.<br /><br />All these threads do, is take up our post reading time, and sort of act as filler, on the board.<br /><br />imho of course.

If you don't like these threads or find them a waste of time, there's a very easy solution: don't read them. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p> </p><p><font color="#666699"><em>"People assume that time is a strict progression of cause to effect, but actually from a non-linear, non-subjective viewpoint it's more like a big ball of wibbly wobbly . . . timey wimey . . . stuff."</em>  -- The Tenth Doctor, "Blink"</font></p> </div>

Actually I like these threads. It's fun to see if in the deep dark recesses of your mind you can figure it out.<br /><br />And for many of these folks, that is their introduction to SDC. Some stay and become valuable members.<br /><br />Others whine a lot <img src="/images/icons/wink.gif" /> <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p><font color="#000080"><em><font color="#000000">But the Krell forgot one thing John.

I'm wondering if the movie could have been "Communion" released in 1989. I only saw it once years ago, and I read the book by Whitley Strieber, and it sounds similar. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p><font color="#ff0000">_______________________________________________<br /></font><font size="2"><em>SpeedFreek</em></font> </p> </div>

Thanx for the help guys. <br /><br />I'm not sure what EtAvaunt has against me. Sounds like he needed to let off some steem and I was the poor soul that walked in front of him.<br /><br />For eveyone els thank you.

<font color="yellow"><i>"Actually I like these threads. It's fun to see if in the deep dark recesses of your mind you can figure it out."</i></font><br /><br />Agreed ! Plus I'm often both amazed and pleased when, given some scrap of a clue, somebody is able to name the movie. Amazed (and pleased) that there are bigger SF geeks out there than I am. <img src="/images/icons/smile.gif" /> <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p>-----------------------------------------------------</p><p><font color="#ff0000">Ask not what your Forum Software can do do on you,</font></p><p><font color="#ff0000">Ask it to, please for the love of all that's Holy, <strong>STOP</strong> !</font></p> </div>

No it doesn't. The only time I MENTIONED you, was to say welcome, and to ask for your input.<br /><br />I don't like these threads, is my opening statement.<br /><br />Look at it like this. Someone passes a bar where the patrons are having a drink and a natter together. Overhearing them talking about the cricket, so the passerby pops in, and says "Hey, how many times has the New Zealander Cris Harris been bowled for a duck?".<br />Taking up valuable drinking time, the people think about it, answer them, and they pop out again.<br /><br />Sum of their contribution to the drink/yack session?<br /><br />negative.<br /><br />And it is still negative for the person that was up at the counter getting drinks in, listening out for something interesting from his mates at the table, but not actually talking at the time, so not reading them doesn't do anything about the problem.<br /><br />Is my opinion about NOT liking them, less valid than YOURS MeteorWyane, of liking them?.

Well I take my drinking as seriously as the next guy but really. He's how I see it ....<br /><br />[scene opens in a properly dim bar. Smoke floats across room.]<br /><br />Joe : Tim, you need another beer ?<br />{sound of burp}<br />Tim : Yup<br />{sound of fart}<br />Gary : Is that John in the corner ?<br />{sound of slurping}<br />Joe : Nope.<br />Interloper : Can you guys tell me the name of the book in Twilight Zone Episode 89 ?<br />Tim : <i>To Serve Man</i><br />Inteloper : OK, Thanks !<br />Joe : Here's your beer Tim.<br />Tim : OK.<br />Gary : So what's new ?<br />Tim : Nothing.<br />Joe : Can you believe that guy didn't know "To Serve Man" ?<br />{sound of burp}<br /><br /><br />Delay time in drinking = 1.314159 secs<br />Negative impact on converstation = nil<br />Making fun of Interloper's ignorance = priceless<br /><br /><br />(note to self : When in NZ, remember not to ask people busy drinking for directions)<br /> <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p>-----------------------------------------------------</p><p><font color="#ff0000">Ask not what your Forum Software can do do on you,</font></p><p><font color="#ff0000">Ask it to, please for the love of all that's Holy, <strong>STOP</strong> !</font></p> </div>

<font color="yellow">Communion</font><br /><br /><br />That's not a bad guess. Though Communion has more of a psychological slant to it, combined with an Alien visitation plot line - if I recall correctly. But I used it as a basis and came up with these movies, which are listed as being similar in nature on All Movie.com.<br /><br />-Fire in the Sky (1993, Robert Lieberman) <br />-Close Encounters of the Third Kind (1977, Steven Spielberg) <br />-The X-Files [TV Series] (1993) <br />-Psi Factor (1980, Quentin Masters) <br />-Roswell: The UFO UnCoverup <br />-Official Denial (1993, Brian Trenchard-Smith) <br />-Last Space Voyage of Wallace Ramsel (1977, Roberto Rossellini) <br />-The Mothman Prophecies (2002, Mark Pellington) <br />-Roswell (1994, Jeremy Kagan)

By all means ASK for directions. But FIRST, complement the drinkers on their lovely little town, order a soft-drink and bewail that you have to drive, so can't justify sitting down for a few handles, thank the barmaid with a smile, and laugh at the locals sly digs of "Where is that accent from, mate, you a Canadian?". THEN ask for directions.<br /><br />When you leave, they will say "On your way back through, make it the weekend, we will take you fishing, mate", and when you are gone, the general opinion will be "What a pleasant chap that was, almost couldn't believe he WAS a Seppo, unless you put a tape around his waist".<br /><br /><img src="/images/icons/wink.gif" />

 

[kermit911]

Some more clues:<br /><br />It was a very "B" rated movie. Like Blair Witch with how the one guy held the camera through the hole movie. It was filmed just like that.<br /><br />Sorry I miss understood your thread EtAvaunt. I didn't meen to upset anyone. I didn't know it would be such an inflammatory question.

 

[MeteorWayne]

Of course, our opinions are both equally valid viewpoints, EtAvaunt.<br />I never said they weren't. <img src="/images/icons/smile.gif" /> <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p><font color="#000080"><em><font color="#000000">But the Krell forgot one thing John.

Was it 2001: A Space Odyssey - or maybe The Matrix ??!!<br /><br />Look, you're going to have to do a little more work here. If its a <i>Blair Witch</i> type movie, those things are a dime a dozen.

 

[kermit911]

This was years ago, but, all I can remember was it was some house out in the middle of nowhere basically. The whole family was around and I think it might have been thanks-giving or something and one of the guys (I think he must've been around 18-ish) was making a home movie for school, and the entire movie was taped with his video camera, The power cut out and they went out to see what had happened and the power lines were sparking everywhere. I think that's where they first saw the aliens ship. Anyway it's a bit of a blur from then for me but I can remember the aliens coming into the house and the guy trying to shoot them which I think may have killed one of them but the aliens killed one of the women as well and at the end came up a picture of the whole family with a date on it asking if anyone had seen them since. <br /><br />Thats all I got guys.

Maybe Blair Witch Trial? <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <font color="#0000ff"><strong>Just tell the truth and let the chips fall...</strong></font> </div>
