If an alien came down from Mars and saw us all taking selfies and the like, I think it'd up and leave. It'd think we were all mad.
While many alien species are harmless, others pose expensive threats to seas and fields and forests.
My kids download 10 games. They play them all for two minutes. They throw away the eight they don't like. Then they play those last two obsessively for a month. That's alien to those of us who buy a $60 game and play it for 40 or 50 hours. The discovery mechanism is completely social, and I don't think you get that genie back in the bottle.
Bob Dylan is like an alien on this earth, and I love him! I cried when I saw him play live because I was so close to him.
My reluctance to use alien invasion is due to the feeling that we are not likely to be invaded and taken over.

It's funny. I did give birth to an alien on 'The X-Files.' And it's just the teaser, so I'm dead before we even get into the episode.
The movie has to have some essence where you connect with it. The reason I'm doing 'Blade 2' and not 'Alien 4' is because I connect with the universe of 'Blade.' I don't connect with the universe of 'Alien.' Besides, I already did 'Alien 4': It's called 'Mimic.'
I did have an offer to direct one of the Alien movies but I wasn't too excited about all the effects work.
When I saw 'Blade Runner,' my understanding was that 'Blade Runner' and 'Alien' were sequels to each other - or they were related. They were set in the same world.
If an alien visited Earth, they would take some note of humans, but probably spend most of their time trying to understand the dominant form of life on our planet - microorganisms like bacteria and viruses.
When we look at something that is alien to us, that is beyond our comprehension, what do we see but ourselves?
