Another One Down the Rabbit Hole

I saw this film last night that was fucking awesome, called MaLice in Wonderland. It was a very unique take on the old story of Through the Looking Glass. All of your favorite characters were there, sometimes played as parts of a few different characters. It had a very Guy Ritchie feel, but still had it's own flavor, and was quite a visual and audible trip.

Anyway, in the intro credits, I noticed Danny Dyer was listed, and I was like "Hey -- I've been seeing a bunch of stuff about him and UFOs lately". So after the film I looked him up and checked out the UFO Special he did called I Believe in UFOs. I was worried, but overall, I liked it. It amused me.

Why was I worried? Because I kind of love that guy -- I never really knew his name before MaLice, so when I realized it was him, I was kind of excited to see him looking into a topic I'm deeply interested in. I had to keep in mind that unlike a lot of us, he doesn't sit at home all night reading every imaginable article on UFOs and/or Abduction. I cut him a healthy dose of slack, and was very happy to see that when he left Stan's house, he second guessed his initial feeling of the footage being legit (yes, Danny got to spend a few hours with Stan Romanek and saw the footage before it was released to the public). At first he was all kinds of amazed, but after he left and had time to process it all, he said he was skeptical because -- and I paraphrase: "He has an agent... and he is asking for 50,000 for the footage". *heart*


Danny was really hoping to see a UFO and eventually he wound up at Gilliland's ranch on Mt. Adams, about 50 miles northeast of where I live. I got a kick out of watching him have to go through the group session of 'opening themselves up', a creepy, spiritual-like session to have a better chance at witnessing a UFO. I half expected to see a snake-handler and some speaking in tongues action. Yeah -- it was some major New Agey bullshit and I do not know how he maintained as long as he did without killing anyone.

In the end, he did see what he believed were UFOs over the ranch, and while I have my own opinions about all that, to him it was all he really needed and the program ended on an upbeat note. I of course wanted to jump through the screen shouting "Danny! Danny! Over here! Check this shit out!" hand over everything I've researched on a lot of the people and places he was visiting, but he was smart enough to not jump right into die-hard belief. And ya know, if I had no idea who any of these yahoos were, who knows how I would have responded? I might have been just as excited -- thought it would have been short-lived as I would have most likely began to pick apart everything. My hope is that he will continue to look into this field and check into these people's backgrounds.

So there ya go. It's a fun watch. And it's lovely to see someone with some celebrity not giving a flying fuck what anyone thinks about what he believes. But like I said, most of us already know all of these claims, cases, and people, and have dismissed most, if not all of it as crap. So don't go looking for any new exciting info here.

And besides -- my main drive for watching it was to drool all over that dirty little Cockney mouth of his and that pretty face. Rawr!

And yes -- he played the rabbit.
