No one has anything positive to say?

insectboy - yeah but Fire in the sky is a really good movie even though the story it's "based" on is obvious baloney. Just wanted to get that opinion out there.
I mean the space sequence was really creative, imaginative and showed great vision since it was really dissimilar from any other space-taking-place part from any movie.
And way, way more original and believable than Walton's own "I steered the spaceship" and "I was super macho and scared off the aliens with a display of alpha-male badassery" and "oh and btw they looked exactly like stereotypical hollywood alien greys" bull5b4bird story.
The thing I believe you have wrong though is that I think they cooked up the story because they were way late finishing sawing down their assigned area of the forest on time. Not robbing someone, more like an insurance scam. Which I believe they were ultimately succesful with? Of course you might view that as a robbery, at least it's sort of stealing in a beat-around-the-bush sort of way.
Back to the film, additionally I think it had a great, real intense beginning. Second act was bit of a mess though but great acting from Robert Patrick.
Sorry for sort of hijacking the thread with off-topicery but why choose that particular movie to bag on? Seems like an illogical choice since it's not a stupid movie in any which way.
And I also thought it was funny earlier that a guy said "We have freedom of speech, and you have to stop speaking ill about people speaking ill of a person with disabilities". Paraphrased.
So people speaking ill of Stephen Hawking or another person with disabilities should be allowed to say their piece, but people in turn speaking ill of them, should "shut up"? Razor-sharp and superlogical rules. -

"The nail that sticks out gets hammered down."
Professor Hawking sticks out, and fearlessly so. So it comes as no surprise that some actually find it necessary to have a go at him. It's to be expected.
