Jim Green was my great-grandfather.

I only met him one time when I was a little kid, so I have hardly any memory of him. I was probably around eight, and if I recall it was during the last year or two that he was alive. I was always told he had some crazy collection of rocks he thought might be prehistoric alien fossils and whatnot but I never got to see it or anything.

I didn't even know this documentary existed until now. This was fascinating to watch-- thanks for the upload.

The Annunaki would like a word with you, Jim.

I just saw Alien: Romulus - it was a mish mash of Parts 1 and 2 - even all the dialogue seemed the same - nothing new really - but it did make me jump in my seat and scream so there's that

it was one of those horror movies in which the really really bad guy (the synthetic from part 2) has an upper crusty british accent - it is always true - bad guy? British accent.

Also there was the message: no matter what the problem an assault rifle is the answer

Hate to be that guy, but ACKSHUALLY...

The big bad from ALIENS wasn't the synthetic (Lance Henrikson, who doesn't have a British accent), but Paul Reiser's Burke, who also doesn't have a British accent.

Ian Holm, the synthetic from the original ALIEN, was the bad guy, and did have a British accent.

I'm waiting until ROMULUS hits home media; I so rarely go out to the movies anymore. I'm making an exception this weekend for DEADPOOL & WOLVERINE, though.

Or nuke it from orbit. Is that still a thing?

Well if there is a ROmulus there will certainly be a Remus so they are probably saving that for part 2.

The lizard people in the latest expansion of FFXIV are just people. Who happen to be lizards. A few of them even have two heads.

Ta, Robyn. I shall leave it to others to watch the lizardy peoples movie and leave their reviews. I'm also eager to read about the DNC WonkMeet. For those following the story from home (or wherever), darling husband Meccalopolis and I are at our honeymoon getaway cottage at the beach. Strong rip currents kept me out of the water (I went in up to my ankles), but my braver spouse got all wet.

How do they know they're reptilian humanoids and not humanoid reptiles?

Do they spawn by parthenogensis? Do severed limbs grow back? Reptile - oid

Do they seek the comfort of the frog part? Do severed limbs remain stumps? Human - oid

I used to keep LARGE snex--boa constrictors. I had two. They got horny. They do not spawn by parthenogenesis. They produced a large litter of baby boas. BTW, live-born, not from eggs.

I know. I had a roommate in college who had a rock python for a 'pet' (he was named Julius Squeezer).

Sometimes I say things that I know are untrue because it gives me a thrill to see the words on the page. 'Spawn' and 'frog slot' are such words

A very important doctrinal difference! Could this be a budding religious war?

Poor RayGun. Give her credit for having the cahones to bring her interpretation of breakdancing to the Olympics, where she realized quickly that she was not competing in the correct event. But most importantly, she convinced millions of people who didn’t realize they had Olympic-level talent to take a crack at it.

Those are my pups! Thank you for running their picture. It was taken the day after we brought them home; they joined our four rescue kitties.

Well, I'm fine with lizard people running things, but I would prefer that they be Democrats. The Republican lizards are just as bad as the Republican humans. I would definitely vote for a rattlesnake (D) or a gila monster (D) over Donald and JD any time.

I'm very nervous about the DNC protesters getting a lot of press from the mainstream media who want to make Kamala look bad.

Personally, I think this is her Sista Soulja moment. Show she isn't 'one of the nuts,' and only supports an Israeli ceasefire if Hamas agrees to stop firing missiles at civilians and holding hostages. If handsome Joe could get them to do that, WE would have a great October surprise for a change. (I'd also bet tRump has people trying to undermine any ceasefire as we speak.)

2 things of value here:

- a break from excessive horror and realistic mayhem

- 'older' actors bringing a showcase for younger actors; sometimes works out well

“artifacts … from the deep past, remnants of a hyper-advanced civilization of reptilian humanoids.“

Did our protagonist think “Land of the Lost” was a documentary about Sleestak civilization?

I knew a guy in high school who had cat eyes. Really weird, but they were also a really cool shade of blue so it was a wash.

I wanted those, but didn't get them assigned. Wonder if it makes ophthalmologists jittery?

I did, however, find an Eye of Horus (Wadjet) charm with a blue iris and slit pupil. It was on some occult site.
