It's worse than that. They can GROW APPENDAGES that MANUFACTURE THEIR OWN FOOD! From SUNLIGHT!! And they can breathe a gas that is DEADLY to humans! Nobody can explain that! Once they figure out that walking around thing, our duck will be seriously l'oranged! They're already making a start on it:

It's been proven wrong already with the 10% or less nonsense. The people that still carry it on are the idiots that haven't paid attention to scientists for the last 10-20 years. We use our full brain on a regular basis.

what's more annoying is the "visitors" are color-blind and insert a "red" brain even though it's fairly obvious to the audience (with our simple, unconditioned brains) that this is a bad idea.
That's the problem with today's aliens, at least in films directed by the brothers Strause. The Predator species in their last film AvP: Requiem forgot to check for dormant-little-xenomorph-lurking-in-hero-alien-corpse just as these forgot to include a QC check for red or blue brains Perhaps aliens find such micromanagement just plain tedious. -

lawl. I think this red/blue "glitch" could be edited easily by a quick scene showing the "red (bad)" brain hypnotizing the workers and jedi-mind-tricking them into inserting a bad brain(s).
this, to nitpickers, would keep the alien's "intelligent," AND make the red brain seem cooler. special. jedi neo.
Of course, we'd find new ways to complain about it.
messageboard rules are serious business. like really serious. -

In the beginning of the movie Terry is trying to get Jarrod to move to the city and they say that it's Los Angeles. The end of the movie shows the Statue of Liberty in New York, The London Eye in England, and several other large cities to let the viewer know that the attack is taking place world wide.

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?
