I was recently among the last to see “Cowboys & Aliens.” I t was not the movie I had hoped for nor the bad one that maybe I hoped for as well. It was a good, not great, but entertaining movie. My only problem was the aliens. Isn’t time we rethink the movie image of the extraterrestrial? How do they cross the vastness of space when all they can voice is some sort of high pitched whine? Why must they be mutated insects? And the slobber; what must the deck of the spaceship be like with all these aliens drooling continuously? At what point will it be impossible for them to move about with the thickening mucous on the floor? Do they need to spend an enormous amount of resources on cleaning supplies? And that is just under the influence of gravity. What happens in the zero gravity of space? All that slime is floating around the spaceship. Does it gum up the instrument? How do they keep the space in the spaceship from filling up? Does it ruin visibility? Is the reason they’re invading earth sponges?
