The reality is that we have never had contact with non-Earthlings (that we know of on a public nature) so to judge a movie or a genre about not being realistic about an experience that no one has ever had before is frankly nit-picky.

I dont mind cultural bias... but when those biases fly in the face of common sense (which the American ones do in the examples I gave) then yeah... call me nitpicky if you want but I cant take it seriously.
