It's amazing how much movie aliens look and act like humans - well, not really amazing
In my experience, there are three kinds of aliens in movies:
- bad aliens - look like insects, tend to lay eggs, sometimes have hive behavior, no language skills
- cute aliens - invariably look like babies
- all others - look very much like humans, with more or less differences depending on budget - usually skin coloring and weird growths on head - culture vaguely related to "exotic" (to the Hollywood bunch) countries
I would really really really like to meet (well, just see maybe) a real alien
