You are wrong. When you see the Statue of Liberty the film maker is showing you various parts of the world where the aliens have landed. The majority of the film absolutely takes place in L.A..

I'll bite. It was LA for 99% of the film, and at the end they showed a few other world cities that had been conquered, including NYC and London, and maybe a couple of others (Hong Kong?) that I didn't get a good look at

They're most likely using brains in place of processors. The people whose brains are taken are not in control of the machines.

Thank you for addressing the "we only use X% of our brains" silliness. While this is nonesense, at times I wonder if the people who believe this are the few that IN FACT do only use 4%. Analogous to only those that believe in a given religion get to go to that religion's version of heaven.

The idea that we only use a certain portion of our brain is absolutely ridiculous, and only shows that people who make such a suggestion don't really understand how the brain works at all.

king, youre a dum-dum. to say that 'if we only use 4% of our brains, then we can destroy 96%' was a dum-dum argument. it is said that we only use 4% of what our brains should theoretically be capable of using. not that theres a 4% chunk of our brain that we use and the other 96% is just squishy filler.

Oh this should be good
to say that 'if we only use 4% of our brains, then we can destroy 96%' was a dum-dum argument.
No, the suggestion that we only use 4% of our brain is an idiotic argument, since it's factually incorrect.
it is said that we only use 4% of what our brains should theoretically be capable of using.
That saying is flat out wrong. Even if we were only using 4% of our brains potential, we're still not only using 4% of our brain. The two mean completely different things.
Also, how exactly do you measure what the brain is potentially capable of if nobody has ever used 100% of their brains potential?

This is true, but how old are the people who think we only use x% of our brains? This concept has been explained to be untrue years ago. I assume the people who still believe are either stupid, kids or american. Or all of the above.
