One of the more amusing things on Twitter/X at the moment is the way all of the wildly gullible and very, very serious UFO believers are freaking out over the posters that have just made an appearance promoting next year's Spielberg movie (which is a return to science fiction and UFOs in particular).
Does it mean his movie will be part of the super secret government plan to soften the public for the disclosure of the reality of UFOs, or what they are about, or whatever? (Or is it just, you know, an entertainment? I know which take I believe.)
And in a way, I would say that it has rehabilitated Spielberg in the mind of the Right, which previously had been holding him in some disdain for being a Hollywood Lefty. But now, given that the recent wave of wild UFO claims has obviously come from the conspiracy world that is the natural mindset of gullible MAGA, it would seem some of them are hoping Spielberg is a good'un will help their cause, after all.
The poster itself (given that the plot of the movie seems a well kept secret) is a pretty great one for creating conversation:
I especially like that it is a bluejay silouhette featuring prominently: what role, exactly, are birds going to have in this movie? I don't normally associate them with knowledge of interplanetary visitors.
Another six months to find out...
