Quotes
A lot of people took it seriously. I thought it was a satire on what people thought the secrets of the gods were, how spacemen came and made it with Bigfoot and that's what became us.
Speculative "documentary" about alien visitations on Earth, UFO sightings and how aliens are responsible for pretty much every conspiracy theory, paranormal encounter and cryptozoological sighting in history.
— Filmgator, about The Force Beyond[4]
gollark: IIRC the Roe v Wade thing was just leaked in advance of being actually released, and has not actually occurred yet.
gollark: Well, horses are mammals, humans are mammals, it makes sense.
gollark: I think the US's ongoing expansion of mass surveillance is a more significant threat to that than people disagreeing with possible future court judgements.
gollark: At the very, very least changes in transport technology complicate things.
gollark: I don't think you can accurately make sweeping generalisations like that. Society is complicated.
