The Outer Space Connection

(1975)

This movie is supposed to be about how we all really came from space or something, but it ends up being like this "who's who" of stupid shit people believed in the 1970s. They do that thing where you take a picture of a plant's "aura" (I'd still like to punch the idiot hippie who came up with that one), show some scientist who brought a million-year-old bacteria back to life (great idea, dipshit), and talk to this moron who recorded some beeps from space and thinks they prove some fucked-up super-complicated sci-fi bullshit about space people that he just made up. They also bring up the Bermuda Triangle, show some pictures of blurry dots (AKA UFOs), and go on and on about how pyramids and ancient civilizations and whatnot were all built by aliens because only spacemen could pull off that kind of shit (well, them and, you know, white people). Their proof of all this crap is asking stupid, fucked-up questions ("Was this lake named by arriving space colonists?") and then just not answering them. The 1970s fucking sucked.
