I'd fire the scriptwriter. He's clearly assuming a combination of needlessly prescribed ritalin for kids, dirt cheap crystal meth for adults, and Faux News propaganda as a never-ending soundtrack to Yankee life, has totally destroyed the capacity for critical thought of most Americans.
I suspect this Times Square fiasco is modelled on the following movie:
Quote:The Creeping Terror (1964)
Directed by Arthur J. Nelson (who also stars in the film under the pseudonym Vic Savage), the film is memorable for its use of some bargain-basement effects: stock footage of a rocket launch played in reverse to depict the landing of an alien spacecraft, and what appears to be shag carpet draped over several actors shambling about at a snail's pace (tennis shoes are occasionally visible) thus bringing the monstrous "creeping terror" to the screen. Due to having had most of its dialogue lost, the movie also employs a technique that has come to be synonymous with Z-movie horror: voiceover narration explaining to the audience the dialogue being silently enacted onscreen.
The movie was lampooned in September 1994 in an episode of Mystery Science Theater 3000. It remains on the IMDb's Bottom 100 movie list,and appeared in the 2004 documentary The 50 Worst Movies Ever Made.
