100 things I learned from Dark Skies...


1. When aliens that can enter your house through closed windows and doors are coming for your children, put them in their room ALONE while you keep an eye outside their room in the hallway.

2. While guarding your children's room, if the TV in a different room turns on mysteriously you should immediately go see why, hey the kids are old enough to walk I'm sure they'll be fine.

3. 4 year olds get dressed all by themselves with no help from mom or dad, so no one ever notices 4 yr olds with bruising all over their bodies.

4. Teen angst makes you a prime target for alien abduction.

5. Always accuse your teenage boy's best friend, who happens to be smarter than the average donut, of branding your son's body with intricate geometric patterns.

6. The best way to deal with mysterious brandings on your son's body is to immediately beat up a teenager. Only works for adults.

7. If your wife suggests a possible alien invasion after all of the above has taken place, you should dismiss it and call her crazy.

8. Never question your children when they draw pictures of aliens UNLESS all of the above has happened, only after they have taken your child should you look at their drawings and other warning signs.

"It's so simple a six year old could figure it out."
"Quick! Someone get a six year old!"

9. Neighbors all outdoors celebrating the 4th of July, will not notice multiple aliens breaking down wooden barriers to enter your house.

10. Aliens will pull pranks on you for years, just to mess with your head, before they abduct your child.

11. Having no work and no money to make ends meet or to pay a mortgage, buy a full in-house, high tech camera set up in every room to watch for intruders.

12. With access to Internet and new age devices, only watch vintage teacher/student porn.

13. When selling a vacant house down the street, be careful the previous owners from the 60's don't want it back!

14. Always paint a family perfect picture around your community.

15. Never look behind you

16. Never wear flattering or feminine lingerie to bed - a cotton, frumpy nighty will do.

17. Aliens would be great at Jenga.

reply

#16 is dumb, why does she need to wear lingerie? so you can see her in it?

reply

No. So her husband will have a reason to stay married.

I don't love her.. She kicked me in the face!!

reply

all of orgasmic_monster's post was dumb.

16. Everything she wears is flattering.

18. When your house alarm goes off in the middle of the night, make sure you leave te lights off and continue to look for the culprit in the dark.

19. If you see an alien figure hovering your young son's bed, you send him back to the same room to sleep by himself night after night.

20. During an alien invasion knowing they're here to abduct your son, instead of sticking together you order your kids to go upstairs alone.

21. To prepare an alien invasion, tell no one. Not your friends or other family members, because the less people there are, the better defense there is.

LOL - I think one of the biggest flaws of the movie is that they never even attempt to abandon the house and move in with relatives/friends or just go to a hotel for some nights

reply

This was addressed in the film. You having A.D.D does not count as a flaw.
Something like "These beings traveled light years to get to our planet and you think they won't find you a few towns over"

"These beings traveled light years to get to our planet and you think they won't find you a few towns over"

But the parents didn't know what was causing the strange occurrences at first, yet they still stayed.

22. Aliens advanced enough to travel interstellar space are poor planners, so they often have to raid their abductee's fridge for food. (Alien Leader to Subordinate: "We just traveled 10,000 light years, and NOW you tell me you forgot to bring the ice chest?!?")
23. Aliens advanced enough to travel interstellar space are poor planners and often forget to pack their recreational games.
(Alien Leader to Subordinate: "We just traveled 10,000 light years and NOW you tell me you left our Jenga set back home?!? What the hey, I guess we'll just have to improvise for our second night rec. break!")
24. Aliens advanced enough to travel interstellar space apparently haven't invented a camera yet. Kodak could make a fortune & continue operating if they relocated to the aliens' planet. (The aliens seemed very interested in photos, considering they stole them all from that family's living room.)
25. Someone needs to call the interstellar ASPCA on these bird-abusing j*cka*ses!
26. Aliens are pedophiles. If I was an alien, I'd abduct yummy Keri Russell and leave the dam* kids!
27. The alien explorer corps is apparently filled with juvenile delinquents. Raiding the fridge, playing improvised Jenga in the kitchen, stealing all the photos, controlling three flocks of birds to suicide dive bomb at one house, tattooing their victims while they're asleep, controlling the woman into knocking her head repeatedly into a glass door like a doofus. I guess the alien explorer corps doesn't pay very well, isn't a very glamorous career path, so the dregs of the alien society make up the majority of its employees.

27. (Continued). Either that, or they're using college interns to staff it.

28. If you get reincarnated as a dog, and end up in a shelter, DON'T get adopted by a family that speaks about aliens invading their home. Play dead, refuse to budge from your cell, whine & whimper loudly whenever they get near you, fake being blind & hobbled, just don't go with them!! Better to wait for a more sane & happy family, thereby ensuring a nice happy home & life for you.

reply

28. (Continued). And if they forcibly adopt you anyway, then when the aliens come to abduct the family, think real hard, "I'm just a dumb dog, I ain't worth studying, take the humans, not me!"

reply

^^ :D

29. Week after week aliens are able to teleport into the house, but suddenly when they are about to abduct someone, wooden boards seem to get in their way.

30. Aliens don't like to watch TV.

31. Dogs do not scare aliens off, but it's good to get an aggressive one just in case.

32. Get everyone sleeping in different rooms! That may confuse the aliens and force them to give up.

33. Even though aliens have super sophisticated technology, they don't seem to be great at hiding their implants.

34. Always listen to your wife when she talks about aliens.

reply

35. Aliens are vegetarian.

36. Felicity didn't surrender to the breast implant tyranny.

37. Even real abductees think that all that "reptilian" talk is bullsh*t.

38. If your cat starts hissing to the walls like there was something there you couldn't see, relax: it's probably just a ghost. Now, if your dog starts barking randomly to the air, bad news: your house has a nasty case of aliens.


reply

39. Aliens are after teens who hang around with under-developed 'dudes', smoke weed (yet virgin) and address themselves as 'Command Control' over frequencies..

40. Aliens have already invaded Earth.....
....... and I am an Alien

.... because Ideas are BULLETPROOF !!!

reply

41. When aliens are attempting to break into your house, they first set up an array of incredibly powerful lights which they shine through your doors and windows. Once inside, however, aliens are able to move around quite happily in the dark.

42. never piss your pants in public
43. its better to watch fireworks on tv than in real life
44. aliens like family photos
