Imagine the book with all of the internal monologues, background chapters and all but the most important plots removed (so it's basically Yossarian, Orr, Milo and the Majors stories remaining, and some of the shorter bits like the MPs and the accident with the plane on the beach) .

I'd say it's still worth seeing just because even a stripped-down version of Catch-22 is still great fun but being on film really limits it.

real aliens probably wouldn't have any form of written language we could decode. when i say truly alien aliens i mean something more along the lines of blindsight.

there's every chance "real" aliens could be almost exactly like us, except smart talking spacefaring lizardy things instead of smart talking spacefaring monkey things. Blindsight actually takes more of a leap in assuming that humans are entirely unique. (It's a cool story tho and would maybe make a good movie)

Also the wikipedia plot outline for Xtro is completely incomprehensible. sounds not good.

I'm unfamiliar how DNA evolution works but maybe as an exercise someone should invent an alien without DNA or based on carbon.

We are more closely related to a petunia than we would be to any being from another world (the exogenesis hypothesis aside), but as seen on Earth, convergent evolution can allow for more distantly related organisms to be more physically similar than more closely related ones.

Thats just a throwaway line, the aliens end up looking sort of like many earth animals. Frog/dog hybrid, apes, and a big starfish/worm. Still a cool movie though :)

There're some excellent actors in the cast and some nice shots, so it could be good.

This was proved false by the way. Also wasn't the bottom of the ocean it was in a lake in Califonia. Also also wasn't arsenic based life it was still carbon based it just appeared that the organism had swapped phosphorus, an essential building block of life, with arsenic. It hadn't, though.
