I like that the bearded one can't help cracking up when he says "the ones you probed": ▶ this video
Great short film version: ▶ this video I do wonder sometimes if someone out there is waiting for something actually intelligent to emerge down here.
> and many of them have no particular reason to be visible at astronomical distances. Or to want to talk to meat. ▶ this video
I always liked the idea and think O'Reagan's short is the best take on it. A black and white version set in Les Deux Magots, Sartre and Beauvoir at a table in the background, would be nice. link ▶ this video
