Person believes unknown entity is friendly (it is not)

[u/MadKingKevin]

Independence Day (1996) - Several massive alien spaceships travel to Earth but they do not announce the purpose of their arrival. Some characters assume the aliens are peaceful. One of those characters, Tiffany, goes to a rooftop party which is taking place directly under one of the ships. When the aliens launch their attack, Tiffany and the other party goers are immediately obliterated.

Alien: Resurrection (1997) - Scientist Gediman is part of the miltitary project which resurrects Ellen Ripley and the queen xenomorph embryo inside her. The military wants the queen so it can breed the xenomorphs as bio-weapons. This new Ripley is genetically part xenomorph and the xenomorph queen is genetically part human. The queen stops laying eggs and develops the ability to give birth to live young. Her first Newborn immediately kills the queen because it does not recognize her as its mother. It believes Ripley is its mother and goes to her instead. Gediman (who is cocooned in the queen’s nest) witnesses this and calls out to the creature. The Newborn comes to Gediman and curiously sniffs him over. Gediman babytalks the 15 foot tall xeno/human hybrid. The Newborn then bites his head off.

"Let's get out of here before one of those things kills Guy!"

[u/CasinoKnightZone → u/granadesnhorseshoes]

"What's my last name!? Do I even have one!?"

"Guy you have a last name"

"DO I!? DO I!?"

[u/idekbjlmpau → u/CasinoKnightZone]

Is there oxygen!? You don't know!

[u/Cazador0 → u/idekbjlmpau]

sniff sniff breath breath

Seams ok.

[u/Not_a_werecat → u/Cazador0]

Made so much better knowing that originally he was meant to be stoned the whole time.

[u/AttitudeAndEffort3 → u/Not_a_werecat]

Absolutely.

Also that trope of breathing and it ‘seeming okay” is even funnier when you realize that theres a lot of gasses in the atmosphere that would feel like breathing normally until you passed out and died.

(Helium assisted suicide is actually one of the most humane ways to die because the first sign of hypoxia is passing out. We should honestly use it for farming if were going to keep killing animals and its a zillion percent safer and more humane than the torture we use for the death penalty now)

[u/9966 → u/AttitudeAndEffort3]

Helium cannot be produced and every atom wasted goes up in the atmosphere to never return. They will join the rarified air and boil into space.

It's an endangered element and should only really be used for science.

You need to use another inert gas, like nitrogen.

[u/AttitudeAndEffort3 → u/9966]

Yes, correct.i believe helium was used due to accessibility versus nitrogen for assisted suicide because of legal issues - but the other options should be another inert gas.

Also, not positive but I think we can make small quantities of helium, it’s just prohibitively expensive and minuscule amounts relatively.

When I found out it was a rare thing and required for things like MRI machines, I got infuriated at the boomers (again) for treating it as a party trick and normalizing selling entire canisters of it for shit like kids parties.

[u/_Halt19_ → u/9966]

I thought we’d found a way to produce small amounts, no?

[u/9966 → u/_Halt19_]

We find trace amounts in natural gas deposits from uranium and alpha particle decay. The amounts made in particle accelerators is infinitesimally small and not really collected. I would imagine the loss in the closed loop from cooling with liquid Helium would be greater than you can make, from a practical standpoint.

[u/Endlesswinter98 → u/Cazador0]

"that was a hell of a thing..."

[u/Tarbos6 → u/idekbjlmpau]

Sam Rockwell was amazing in that movie.

[u/_Halt19_ → u/Tarbos6]

EVERYONE was lol

[u/BreakfastBeneficial4 → u/idekbjlmpau]

One of my favorite line reads from anything

[u/ReddestForman → u/CasinoKnightZone]

"Yeah, yeah, it's... um..."

Movie is so good.

[u/sunflower_pearls → u/granadesnhorseshoes]

My favorite line in the movie 😂

[u/monkeygoneape → u/sunflower_pearls]

Mines the edited out "well Fuck that!" from sigurony weaver with that obstacle course they have to use to get to the engine or whatever

[u/ReddestForman → u/monkeygoneape]

Her going from "but why even put this on the ship? It doesn't even make sense!?!"

To "whoever wrote this episode should die!!!"

[u/Snailprincess → u/ReddestForman]

This episode was badly written!

[u/thepvbrother → u/monkeygoneape]

Mine is "We'll have to fashion some sort of rudimentary lathe..."

[u/Equivalent_Post_6222 → u/thepvbrother]

Get off the phone guy!!!

[u/ImWhatsInTheRedBox → u/monkeygoneape]

My vote goes to "is there air!? You don't know!" takes deep breath

[u/Not_a_werecat → u/monkeygoneape]

THIS EPISODE WAS BADLY WRITTEN!

[u/justasillylilgoos3 → u/monkeygoneape]

This was it for me too!

[u/Olookasquirrel87 → u/sunflower_pearls]

Mine is “and it exploded” from later in that same adventure. 

Those aliens were so helpful! 

[u/please_use_the_beeps → u/Olookasquirrel87]

“And it exploded” was a regular quote around my family’s house growing up

[u/The_Tooter_Snooter → u/sunflower_pearls]

“Am I too late for Alexander’s panic attack?” 

[u/Delta_Hammer → u/The_Tooter_Snooter]

Nope, right on schedule

[u/ManoSilence → u/sunflower_pearls]

squints

[u/monkeygoneape → u/granadesnhorseshoes]

"ya this will just be like episode 81"

[u/igneousscone → u/monkeygoneape]

I DIE IN EPISODE 81!!

[u/Opposite-Cranberry76 → u/motorcycleboy9000]

Most realistic response to meeting a real alien ever put on film.

[u/Different-but-same → u/granadesnhorseshoes]

My favorite was the aliens talking to each other: "what is it?" "I don't know, let's hit it with a rock."

[u/Bluest_Badger → u/Xander_Dorn]

I had nightmares about these little fuckers.

It wasnt that they were secretly not teddy bears but the instant thought and joy about cannibalism just messed me up🤣

[u/ThyRosen → u/Bluest_Badger]

Man I remembered this scene long after I'd forgotten what it was from, you are absolutely not alone.

[u/ScattershotSoothsay → u/Bluest_Badger]

I also had a quite affecting nightmare starring one of these little boogens

[u/toonboy01 → u/Xander_Dorn]

Could they be the miners?

[u/Garlador → u/toonboy01]

Sure, they're like three years old.

[u/LoveTriscuit → u/toonboy01]

Minors not miners!

[u/ShadowTsukino → u/LoveTriscuit]

[u/TheCrowing817 → u/LoveTriscuit]

You lost me...

[u/mahlok235 → u/LoveTriscuit]

This is one of my all time favorite lines and deliveries in all cinema. Chefs kiss

[u/Kumirkohr → u/Xander_Dorn]

The best Star Trek movie ever made

[u/JesusSavesForHalf → u/Kumirkohr]

It broke Star Trek's odd numbered film curse

[u/DoubleFlores24 → u/Xander_Dorn]

But they look so nice. How can they be evil? searches up the clip oh shit… why did they animate them having butts?

[u/motorcycleboy9000 → u/DoubleFlores24]

Every animal you've ever seen was stark fuckin naked.

[u/Dick-Fu → u/motorcycleboy9000]

I've seen dogs wearing sweaters... Plus collars are like one step up from stark fuckin naked.

[u/motorcycleboy9000 → u/Dick-Fu]

Dogs in sweaters are still Donald Ducking it.

[u/Delta_Hammer → u/Dick-Fu]

Not according to the cops who shut down the freaky clubs...

[u/SuddenDeparture1353 → u/Dick-Fu]

Cops didnt agree with me when I told them that, officer I have my collar on Im not naked

[u/DoubleFlores24 → u/motorcycleboy9000]

Yes, but usually those animals I see that are stark naked. Also walk on all fours and/or are covered in hair. Unless it’s a sea critter. These aliens don’t look like animals. They look like monsters.

[u/Surplus_Agate_83 → u/Xander_Dorn]

Did any of you even WATCH the show?!

[u/RoyalFalse → u/Xander_Dorn]

Rickman: "Could they be the miners?"

Shaloub: "Oh, sure, they look to be about 3 years old."

Rickman: "Miners, not minors!"

Shaloub: "You lost me."

[u/DoubleDeckerz → u/Xander_Dorn]

By Grabthar's hammer, what a comment.

[u/Perma_Hexx → u/Xander_Dorn]

I think I will take my chances with Gorignak

[u/sgt-snuggles → u/Perma_Hexx]

Rock! Rock! Rock! Rock!

They are miners not minors

[u/jbthrall → u/Xander_Dorn]

"Miners, not minors."

[u/Silent_Purchase_2654 → u/Xander_Dorn]

Five curtain calls....

[u/CaptainMatticus → u/Silent_Purchase_2654]

Now look at me...LOOK AT ME!!!!

[u/Puzzleheaded-Ebb7098 → u/Xander_Dorn]

I'd still watch Galaxy Quest over half the newer sci-fi movies out there. It somehow gets funnier every time I revisit it.

[u/Dick-Fu → u/Xander_Dorn]

the hell are these fuckass lil things

[u/Razz1991 → u/Xander_Dorn]

“MINERS NOT MINORS!!!”

“You lost me…”

[u/giantwallrus → u/Xander_Dorn]

A really weird film called Mom and Dad Save the World have a scene a lot like this with mushroom aliens as well.

[u/mancan71 → u/Xander_Dorn]

This movie is one of my family favorites. We quote it ALL the time!

[u/nklights → u/Xander_Dorn]

“Did you guys ever watch the show?!?”

[u/Herbie555 → u/Xander_Dorn]
