Oh God Aliens have landed!

The movie Flightplan has come out thise weekend. It's a Jodie Foster thriller that takes place on an airliner. Her daughter disappears and no one claims to ever have seen her. The story revolved around her daughter or the Foster character's sanity. Interesting stuff.... but... for some reason the Flight Attendants union is calling for a boycott claiming passengers will start to mistrust cabin crews because of the film. Gimme a break...

This fear is up there with all the yahoos calling for Dan Brown's head over the Da Vinci Code. Another decent thriller that claims Christ married Mary Magdalene and had offspring that survives until today. Let's look at one very common thread running through both these stories. They're FICTION. One's a NOVEL (meaning: a made up story for entertainment purposes only) the other's a MOVIE (meaning a film presentation based on a made up story for entertainment purposes only). What is it the Flight Attendant's Union and all those religious yahoos don't get about the concept? Do they think we really are that stupid we can't figure this out? Dan Brown didn't write a serious thesis on theology and Jodi Foster doesn't talk to imaginary people (at least to my knowledge). Well adjusted people know the difference between fantasy and reality. Most of us fall in this category. Perhaps all that high altitude and holier than thou work has loosened up a few scews?
