does that say rob schneider

It's underrated because it isn't universally acknowledged as the greatest science fiction movie of all time.

...

Roy Scheider.

nah it's dad, roy scheider

If I can be pedantic, aliens aren't science fiction, they're pure fantasy. Life can only exist on Earth and the Fermi paradox proves it.

havent actually seen this turd. sell me on it.

why do you think it's underrated? It was forgettable from memory, though I watched it straight after 2001

My favorite part was John Lithgow hyperventilating for ten minutes.

Is that where the aliens made a second sun out of Saturn?

It hardly proves anything. It opens up an interesting line of questioning. How could you misunderstand it so badly?

Top marks. I actually cried at that movie.

A paradox that boils down to ' ayylums don't real cos they havent visited our planet out of the countless trillions in the universe in the brief span of time our species has has reliable recording techniques'.

If you think it 'proves' anything you have mental illness.

Haha, this.

All sci-fi is inherently overrated

Actually the paradox takes a position on alien life. It assumes that alien life is common enough that we should have heard or observed something by now.

One way of resolving the paradox is to deny that assumption.

The evidence we should have observed would be light transmissions, radio waves, probes, etc. Not just ayylums visiting.

God JJL is so fucking hot in that movie. Good movie too. I held up well to at least three viewings over the years, but I think the bloom was off the rose after four.

>tfw you will never have sex with Milla Jovovich on the actual set when everyone had left for the night. And she remains in Leeloo character all the time

...

Holy fuck this movie was a trip

Too bad the Drake equation exists

...

...

Or we're the lucky first

That's possible, but given we're a bit late to the game timeline wise, it seems unlikely. IIRC, there are more stars dying than being formed. A generation of stars, some of which had systems capable of supporting life, have come and gone before our star did, some of which have gone and exploded already.

Nah, we know for a fact that life can arise given certain conditions, and it's a statistical certainty that those conditions exist on billions of planets. Earth proves that aliens exist.

I feel like I'm the only to have seen this

>millions of galaxies
>billions of solar systems
>trillions of planets

>hurrrr there is no life in the universe durrr

The fact that life exists on this planet by chance means there is an extremely high probability there is life else where. Also look up YT videos on UFO sitings. Some in my state were eery as hell

>lazy eye

How have I never noticed this before?

We need to import more stars from the third universe to sustain our aging population

No it doesn't you fucking idiot. I'm so fucking tired of puseudo intellectualist like you who say this crap, when you obituary don't understand probability 101.

We don't know the chance of life forming, for all we know that chance could have 1 in a billion trillion Google and it was against the odds that we alone came to be.

We have no idea of the odds so stop saying "highly likely" and other dumb shit

>you don't understand probability
>says the guy who thinks life is a 1 in a quintillion chance

Stop posting kiddo, it's embarrassing. Even if it was 1 in 1 billion there would be life all over the universe.

That's why I didn't say 1 in a billion you fucking tard.

Just stopping, you're embarrassing. You don't have a fucking clue what your talking about.

Also since I know you're a complete faggot redditor and you won't look it up, here is the video I was referring to.

m.youtube.com/watch?v=h-PlCwD3W8g

Stationary object in the sky, several other smaller objects exiting and leaving said object in the blink of an eye. Also you have too much trust in NASA/Government if you think there actually was proof or contact with Alien life forms that they would tell everyone.

>We don't know the chance of life forming, for all we know that chance could have 1 in a billion trillion

You're a fucking moron. It doesn't matter the odds, the scale of the universe is such that however big the odds are, it is still in high probability that there is life in the universe. We are living breathing proof of this fact. You realize there could be life forms thousands of galaxies away, arguing about this same thing on their own anonymous message boards? Anything is possible.

>puseudo intellectualist
>obituary

You realize there have been far more sightings of "angels" through out history than aliens yet I bet you just brush that off yet accept this as fact, why? Because your a moron.

Even if someone really did see some strange shit in the sky, youre just as bad as religious fags going "it must be god" by going" it must be aliens", it would be far more likely to be a government made prototype of some ship.
>too much faith in the government/masa What proof do you have that it was a genuine alien? Why would I put faith in you when you have nothing

Don't call me a reddit or because you have no actual argument against actual logic like probability. If you want to keep shouting baseless shit then fuck off to /X/ or tumblr with all the other fuck tards.

>I don't understand how probability works: the post

fucking goddamnit

I'm willing to believe there have been Angels, I'm also willing to believe they are our ancestors interpretation of extra-terrestrials. All Abrahamic religions are denoted of Sun/sky worship anyways.

Also you're the retard who doesn't understand probability. Probability says out of the trillions of planets in the universe there is at least one other Earth like planet, or a planet in a habitable zone capable of sustaining life. That is common sense. Does it really shatter your world view that much to see this as true?

>we are the only life forms out of trillions of planets even though similar Earth type planets in habitable zones have been discovered

Sure kid

You don't get it do you? Even if another earth, or billions of planets like earth are out there, its not a given that life exists there. we don't know the exact parameters life can form in, we have never observed it forming from nothing itself, we don't know what causes life to form, so we have no idea how likely it is to form. Hell maybe life can't form in earth conditions and has to form somewhere else first then land on earth to grow. Maybe silicon based life exists which would change everything

I'm not saying aliens don't exist, I'm saying we don't know and we can't even pretend to know (like you're trying to do) without either making direct contact or answering those questions I stated and others. The point is, I'm remaining honest and reserving judgment on something none of us can claim to know, not even the probability, with our current knowledge

We could have already made contact and they could be observing us for thousands of years. It is not logical to say they don't exist just because. That's like saying atoms don't exist because you can't see them..

I'm not saying life doesn't exist, I'm saying we don't know. Learn to read, then go learn probability and how you have to actually know the odds before you can make claims about the outcomes

>I don't know how probability works

>he doesn't believe in ayy lmaos

Where did we come up with the idea for ayy lmaos if they don't exist, then?

We know the odds. Odds are that a planet must be within a habitable zone. Aka in the zone of a star that is not too hot and not too cold. There have been observations of thousands of them. It is logical to throw out a wild probability like 1 in a billion planets support life, and even with probability that high there would still be thousands upon thousands of life supporting planets.

>projecting

>>>/reddit/

When the scope of the universe is involved, you have an exceptional case and traditional notions of probability don't really apply. We know for a fact that Earth is a terrestrial planet orbiting an unremarkable star in an unremarkable corner of an unremarkable galaxy. It is nothing short of an absurdity to claim that our planet would be unique.

pure fucking kino

And we could have made contact with real angels and God exists and they've been observing us for thousands of years. Just because you can see him does mean he doesn't exist... See how similar you sound.

For the last time, im not saying "aliens don't exist", im saying I don't know, you don't know and you should quit pretending to know until you have some hard evidence, or some actual odds to figure out the chances of more life existing. Until then it's nothing by wishful thinking and faith guiding your opinion

"But I, being poor, have only my dreams. I have spread my dreams under your feet. Tread softly because you tread on my dreams." Great Movie

You're trying pretty fucking hard to pretend like you know.

You're wrong though. The faith-based claim is to say that Earth life is unique in a universe with trillions upon trillions of worlds. It's an absurdity. The default, logical assumption is that Earth is not in any way unique.

I don't have a dog in this fight, but he's right, "I don't know" is a lot more scientific than what you're spouting

One of my favorite horror comedies of recent years.

You can't be this retarded, user.

its not more likely because it happened with us.

We still could be the only ones and just be extremely lucky

maybe theres other crazy shit in the universe but no life in the form we know it

Jupiter, yeah.

It has the appearance of being scientific to someone who is ignorant. We know that the universe is uniform. We know for a fact that life can and does exist in the universe, and the probability of it existing in only one location is non-existent.

It's not underrated it's just shit.

>we know that the universe is uniform
>the probability of life existing in only one location is non-existence

both wrong

on the silver globe

2010 was shit including the novel
>Jupiter turns into a star
Who comes up with this shit?

The uniformity of the universe is a scientific fact, you ignorant moron. Kill yourself.

>replacing God with aliens and acting like it's scientific
humans are such plebs

bump

maybe she was faking it for the poster

This movie was shit.

Fucking trash, its as popular as it should be. It's screenplay and plot was as stale as capeshit.

>No moon posted yet
what the living shit

piece of shit

...

Fuck you. Have you watched it? Its fucking garbage about alien christians, about evil white men and muh slavery.

>6.9 on IMDb
>68% RT user rating
Feels about right.

hell in the pacific.
alien slavery wifes son edition..

>that guy that quotes every single movie and says "its shit"

It's gotten a fair bit of attention around here but it really ought to be mentioned more. Great movie.

>Underrated sci-fi movies
Posts 2001...Fantastic movie, but "underrated"? This movie gets it's space dick sucked on the reg

Can you even read?

It says 2010.

>ALIUMS DONT EXIST CUZ I HAVENT SEEN ANY

Fermi paradox a shit

...

>Underrated

I hate (You) for this.

Pretty good actually.

this just became one of my top 5 sci fi's. dark low budget hilarity

...

...

I hate this movie. Did you think it was funny purposefully?

Leeloo Dalas multipass.

I was talking about the fact that isn't very well known, not literal ratings.

>I don't know what underrated means.

>I can greentext too

Thats actually some really great footage

In terms of falling hard for a movie character, I'd have to rank Leeloo Dallas Multipass in the top five.

In no particular order, other top five contenders are:
Apple
Harmony Faith Lane
Kaylee Frye
