    Wait a minute. In the movie Alien, the humans showed up on THEIR planet. THE HUMANS WERE THE ALIENS ALL ALONG!

    Conspicuous Consumption is polluting the Planet to the point Humanity will suffer the sixth great planetary extinction event. We can't "tech" our way out of the Global Catastrophe. Watch Jeff Gibbs Film, "Planet of the Humans (free on YT). youtu.be/Zk11vI-7czE?...

    "Spiritual forces opposed to God and goodness". The movie literally has DEMON HUNTERS in the title. The movie is about them HUNTING DEMONS to PROTECT THE HUMANS in the world. Something tells me that they find it anti-Christian because no one in the movie is White/European.

    After the apes take over, will they make a movie called Planet of the Humans?

    What nonsense are you talking about?? Name another nation the size of Canada with as small a population & vast geography with the longest coastline on earth. 🇨🇦 faces unique challenges. If you haven’t seen it, I suggest you get a reality check from watching Planet Of The Humans

    Just finished The Humans on Netflix. I'm not an Amy Schumer fan, so I wasn't in a hurry to watch, but I really like Richard Jenkins and Steven Yeun. I'm so glad I gave it a chance. It is the best stage-to-screen adaptation I've ever seen. Starting as an endering drama-comedy, it goes completely unexpected, deeply affecting places. I'll still be thinking about this one tomorrow. Stunningly written and performed. #TheHumansNetflix #TheHumans #Netflix #Films #Movies

    Ok, trying a real post! Went to see "The Humans" play last weekend, it was far better than the movie version, with a great look at a dysfunctional family over Thanksgiving in a nightmare apartment in NYC. It also featured a mini mystery running throughout, and dealt with surviving September 11 as a New Yorker, but only in passing. Really outstanding local actors in this one. Also loved the neon lounge in the Wilbury Theatre, almost liminal. #theatre #thehumans #localtheatre #theater #stageplay

    here's the thing with assholes like Thiel..he knows he wants to answer YES...but his codicil is BUT ONLY THE RIGHT PEOPLE SHOULD SURVIVE. We, the pleebs, the normies, the HUMANS should not. Only those that can afford to, deserve to survive. This is every disaster movie EVER. Just the rich live.

    Yes. Her premise was shallow & simplistic. That was just basically a clickbait article. Puts me in mind of Richard Branson in Michael Moore's film Planet of the Humans when he was laughing his a#& off about prophet/profit. It's up to us little people to keep the BadActors in line. And it's not easy.
