It's not anything I've ever heard anyone discuss, but it's something that came to my mind whilst out walking the dog (yeah, yeah, taking the dog for a walk).
But I kinda got to thinking that, whenever something becomes something that people talk about to do with being 'top secret', a movie is made about it - and usually the movie is either silly or over-the-top. But once made, if you start to talk about the issue, people immediately go "oh not that stupid movie" and that's that. Recently I'm talking about 2012. A special effects extravaganza. But there are real issues behind 2012. The Mayans, the I-Ching, Nostrodamus...and others...all point to that year being the last. But the movie has made the topic in general conversation nul and void.
In the past...The Philadelphia Experiment. A real event, I read about it years ago in a book by Charles Berlitz and William Moore. They made a crap movie about it. Then there's the mysterious 'men in black'...loads of people talking about them...hey presto! a silly movie made and that's that one in the bag.
I dunno, just seems a coincidence. I'm sure there are others. Close Encounters can't be slammed, nor Fire In The Sky as they are cool movies
