 | well prob not like in the movies what are the chances that they'd also just happen to evolve
 w/ 2 arms/legs... heads w/ 2 eyes, 2 nostrils, a mouth..
 etc...
 
 aliens in our culture just look like fucked up humans

 | i highly doubt that... what are the chances that they would even develop the sound
 making capabilities that let u speak english?
 even our closest relatives chimps cant.
 
 and even if they made the same type of sounds we do.. the
 chances that the english language would evolve though SO
 many complex little incidents is... well, not much
 
 they prob would have languages we cant even imagine

 | the thing is , there is an infinite number of planets. so there ought to be at least one other planet where they would
 speak english. actually, it's an infinite amount of
 planetswhere they speak english. but i'm taking parallell
 universums in account as well :)

 | If you hold with the theory of evolution and belive that it has occured in a simalar fashion on other planets as it has
 on ours, aliens will all look like the come to daddy

 planets will exist. or have different physical laws or
 whatever.

 Human shape, big black eyes, grey skin, small noses, big
 heads, no external genitalia.

 | the small skinny hairless white body with big head and big eyes idea came from (i think) from early 20th century ideas
 of what a more evolved race would look like, and aliens were
 always perceived as a more "evolved" race.... i.e. the old
 thinking...  the (rather quite flawed and racist) steps of
 evolution, first you have the big, black, hairy, stupid,
 strong ape.  second, you have the african man, black,
 strong, not as big and hairy as a gorilla.  third you have
 white men, smaller and weaker but "smarter", lot less hair
 in their sophistication.  then the "logical" idea for a more
 evolved human would be very white, small and weak with a big
 brain, because the brain is what is important, all work will
 be done by machinery, and of course, mostly hairless.  the
 eyes, well, i guess people think big eyes look intelligent
 and cute.  animals with small eyes are usually considered
 mean and stupid.
 i'm not saying i agree with this, i think humans will all be
 brown and we are more concerned with muscles and body curves
 than any civilization in history.  and evolution of humans,
 any way you look at it, is hardly "advancing".
 
 also, there have been stories of mysterious people from the
 sky, who often abduct, for thousands of years.  they have
 been called extraterrestial aliens, demons, fairies,
 witches, gods and goddesses, etc.  is this proof that people
 have been making up the same stupid shit for thousands of
 years, or that there is some truth behind the stories?  i
 don't think so, but who knows i guess.

 | seems aliens' looks, are largely influenced by whatever Hollywood speculates at the time?!
 
 re: the evolving thing
 Aren't the blockbuster looks derived from foetus' looks.
 Which could coincide with the conspiracy-ish theories that
 parallel human life is on the moon, mars, or the veda[?]
 star system?!

 | I think an alien species is the missing link in human evolution..... there were monkeys, then suddenly they were
 walking upright, making plastic and nuclear waste.... all in
 like the blink of the evolutionary eye.  what the fuck?  why
 do we make all this shit that doesn't naturally exist?  why
 do we have to change nature to suit us, if we're all
 natural?  I don't think we are.  I think we are a hybrid of
 monkeys and aliens, experimental-style.

 | Haha I just saw "Enemy Mine" yesterday on Space channel. The narrator said the alien (Drac) is not humanoid, but an ugly
 lizard. Hehe it was not true.
 The alien was pretty humanoid with lizard skin, one big
 tooth, 3 fingers. Ehh. Not much fantasy, but the story is
 very nice. OK, it was made in 1985.
 Still sucked compared to Star wars which was made in 1979.
