i could be making synchronous coincidences or whatever they're called, but i swear there are more end of world movies and alien movies in the last year or two than i've ever seen in theaters. think about it. the knowing, 2012, avatar, fourth kind, paranormal activity, planet 51, transformers 2, the road, the book of eli, i am legend, quarantine, the day after tomorrow, the core, the day the earth stood still, i could go on for a while. what's happening here? i know this is not a new subject for movies, and i've been a moviegoer for a while, and it just seems to me i haven't seen them in this frequency before...thoughts?

It's pretty simple. The non-event 2012 is approaching and hollywood is cashing up on it.

it's probably because 2012 is coming around the corner, and everyone is getting into the apocalyptic thang.

that coupled with all the talk of a collapsing dollar and the potential for martial law with either civil unrest or a vaccination program makes me a wittle bit nervous. maybe we are being conditioned

uhh. the south park episode where the aliens come and and test everyone by seeing if they keep the fake space gold that the fake space robbers stole. and uh. I've just been noticing a lot of craazy shit like this happening around in my lifes. lots of coincidences happening. stuff like that. stuff happening the following day that had happened in a dream the night before. that happened to me 3 days in a row. being able to predict when stuff is going to happen. shit like that. It's all going to start becoming more apparent to everyone very soon. more and more strange and/or eventful things are going to be happening more often as we approach closer to the timewave shift or whatever.
terence mckenna talks about this stuff. as does alex collier and david wilcox

One reason for this could involve the popularity of these topics. When it comes to certain genres or subject matters, only certain people will usually have an interest in them. Subjects such as the end of the world and extraterrestrial visitation affect the entire human race so these types of movies could potentially appeal to the majority of human beings. It seems as though these topics are beginning to become more widely accepted in realistic terms rather than being viewed as outlandish ideas.

Movie people just follow the trail.
They see how much another movie sells then they can work out if their similar movie will do as well.
Paranormal activity was a joke, I probably cost about a grand to make that movie. God knows how much money they made out of it.

they have been using the media to condition people to be afraid of aliens for decades
they want to stage an alien invasion to get all the countries of the world to unite against a common "enemy"
at least, don't be surprised if that's it

nonono just the opposite. you see the aliens will disguise themselves as jesus and the angels and get everyone on this planet to convert to Christianity where they (the aliens disguised as holy beings) will be the rulers of this planet. then they'll go on to another planet and do they same thing after studying their religions.

well whether it's a staged alien invasion or a staged second coming of christ, or a staged staging, don't be surprised, and don't buy into it
I know that's absolutely ridiculous but then so is , and sometimes business gets that serious
just don't be surprised by or buy into anything is all i'm saying.

It doesn't mean that they are right. Coincidences run rampant when you subconsciously want them to.

The media isn't controlled by one person. I'm not saying they don't use disinformation in films but I think the answer is simpler - A film about nice aliens would be shit and no-one would watch it.

I agree that it would have a unifying effect on the human race if the world were to awaken to the extraterrestrial presence on Earth. It seems that most world governments think it would have the opposite effect. Governments such as the US government are concerned that it would cause mass hysteria and panic if the general public were to discover the reality of such things. Can you imagine how people would react to find out that advanced technological devices are penetrating our airspace and we don't know who they are or where they come from. We can't even defend ourselves against such superior technology if the pilots of these crafts were to turn hostile against the human race.
