This movie and all the marketing surrounding it feels greasy as hell.
Really looking like the "deer" are actually the aliens trying to put on a friendly perception filter when they take you away.
This movie certainly seems to have created a lot of opinions both online and offline. Why do you think it is greasy?
I know what the word means but it's an odd word to describe a film
My theory is that the deer, including possibly other animals, are attracted to the EMF radiation from an alien craft and coming out of the forest in droves towards whatever is generating that signal. We see a similar mechanism at play in the Netflix movie Leave the World Behind where the deer are acting strange. However which way you cook it though, this movie feels very strange.
Did you watch the latest trailer, the one with the Spielberg interview quotes cut in? It answers what the deer are.
The entire "disclosure" narrative that's swirling around is greasy because we've got grifters just looking to make a buck by selling stories, and various elements of the US government using it to distract people from it's own obvious corruption and behaviour, and now we've got Spielburg rolling up implying there's some element of "truth" to his movie. It's greasy.
Greasy:
No lie, I've always been interested in the subject matter, but various groups and powers using the mystery to sell people either products for mere profit or narratives to control them rubs the wrong way as I enter my 40s.
lol I'd probably be less irritated if the movie looked more interesting than the trailers make it seem
I've been stuck on that as well.
Mostly internet dumbdumbs trying to sound awesome. They're failing. Use complete and normal sentences or stay silent. The world needs better humans than people saying moving pictures feel 'greasy'.
I'm sorry if I've hurt your feelings Steven, but cheer up! You have millions of dollars!
This discussion has certainly taken a weird turn. 
I agree. It's not like Spielberg just came up with the idea for the movie. It's been in development for years.This discussion has certainly taken a weird turn.
It's because don't you know, the truth is OUT there, maaaaaaaaan! 
I don't think you understand what greasy meant in that scene if you think greasy in that context is at all applicable to this movie.
I stand by my reasoning. The confluence of events + the film's subject matter & marketing = something gre-he-heasey. Wouldn't be the first time mass media was used by interested parties to manipulate people's beliefs; I've suspected that Spielburg is not above letting his work be used in this way since that weirdly triumphant "hero soldiers taking down the dying tripod with RPGs" scene from his War of the Worlds adaptation that seemed out of place with the rest of the film.
I enjoyed CE3K when it hit theaters in 1977 and I'm looking forward to Disclosure Day. The movie premise appears intriguing so it might be an excellent popcorn flick. Have to wait and see.
