Daily Dialogue theme next week: Alien Invasion

Join the Daily Dialogue team: 3,117 consecutive days and counting.

The Daily Dialogue theme for next week: Alien Invasion, suggested by Michael Waters.

By my count, there have been about a gazillion alien invasion movies. Perhaps my fuzzy math has been influenced by the fact that when I was a kid, during the Red Scare days of the 50s, they were a staple of Saturday matinees. What better way to entertain and scare the bejeezus out of the youth of America than having hostile robots from outer space invade Earth?

So get in touch with your inner fears of a science fiction kind and summon up some memorable movie moments with noteworthy dialogue.

Want some suggestions for alien invasion movies? Go here.

The usual drill:

• Copy/paste dialogue from IMDb Quotes or some other transcript source.
• Copy/paste the URL of an accompanying video from YouTube or some other video source.

I’d also ask you to think about why the dialogue is notable. Is there anything about the dialogue which provides some takeaway related to the craft of writing? If so, feel free to lay that wisdom on us.

Consecutive days of Daily Dialogue posts: 3,117.
