Can't We All Just... Get Along?

Love love love that flick. Very underrated. If you remember, it was released at about the same time as ID4, which followed all of the conventions of the lame-ass alien-attack movies of the 1950s, which got a buttload more money. A lot of critics simply didn't get Mars Attacks!, and they savaged it.

The telltale shot, the one that really shows everything Mars Attacks! is about, is when the alien ship lands at the reviewing stand in the desert, and the descending staircase lines up precisely with the red carpet that's been rolled out for it.
