Roswell is nearly completely flat with very little vegetation, it is not really close to Mexico. It is not a hick town. People there aren't completely obsessed with aliens. Many residents of Roswell were unaware of the "UFO crash" until the city decided to bring in tourists. That's all for now.

Good to know! But does Hollywood read this forum?
If so, allow me to add my own love letter to Hollywood.
"Dear Hollywood,
I know you think you're the shiz. I know this because of endless awards shows where industry moguls are repeatedly patting each other on the back and giving each other awards for screenwriting and sound recording, etc. and the surplus of media coverage given to film and tv production.
Just wanted to let you know that a lot of people don't give a shit. When I want to relax and kick back I'll put on a movie or watch something I like. But don't for one second think that I have some sort of obligation to take notice of every member of the production team. It's just not that interesting to me. I care about the story, not every detail of the production.
This extends to behind the scenes "bonus" features on DVDs, interviews with sound and visual effects supervisors and scriptwriters. Seriously. Don't care. Admittedly a lot of this dismissive posturing comes from listening to Ben Burtt drone on endlessly. He is so interested in what he does, yet it's actually very uninteresting to hear him talk about it. The Star Wars trilogy commentary on DVD is about 50% Ben Burtt droning on about compressing and editing sound effects. It sucks. Shut up Ben Burrt, l want to hear what Carrie Fisher has to say!
Also, I sometimes get the impression that the unspoken belief is that if one is not in the entertainment industry that one should be busy trying to whore one's self to get in. I remind myself nearly every day that I'm satisfied with a job and career that does not involve whoring myself to a degree that life in Hollywood would certainly entail. Indeed, success is often measured outside the entertainment industry.
In conclusion, stop acting like hot shit, not everyone wants to go to Hollywood and become a star and stop knighting boring sound effects supervisors like Ben Burtt.
Thanks for your kind attention.
Sincerely,
billcosby
PS. Production members of the former 5 Star Trek series who post here frequently do not apply. You are all superheroes of sci-fi. Star Trek is and always will be so cool it rises above usual television and should be regarded as celestial."
Wow, that was fun. Great idea, Michael Chris. I didn't mean to derail this thread if it was actually about Roswell...

Awesome!
Oh boy, this thread is derailed now. 
Dear Hollywood,
Southern sheriffs also do not run the post office, a diner, and the local taxidermy shop. They will probably also not greet someone with a "HEY Y'ALL, we don't like them FBI types here." I also do not personally know anyone who walks around town barefoot in their overalls. Everyone in the South does not like to hunt, fish, and spit dip 24/7. I've never owned a rebel flag, a cowboy hat, or spurs. I don't have a broken down car in my front yard, I've never eaten a squirrel, and I have seen paved roads and used the internet before. I also do not have a stupid, inbred cousin.

Yes. Infuriates Elton John.
Dear Hollywood,
Kansas is not mountainous. Jack Bauer cannot get from one end of LA to the other in five minutes unless he has a Star Trek transporter. And you know that time you tried to pass off Vancouver as San Francisco. Never. Do. That. AGAIN!
Dear Hollywood.
More curvaceous, luscious, well-shaped women with well rounded boobs, hips, and asses. Less shirtless-men who if they were wearing their pants an inch lower I'd see their junk.
I'm easy enough to please.
Thanks, Trekker.

Dear Hollywood:
Please keep in mind that it is awfully hard to believe that twenty somethings are longtime champions of their craft (whatever it is,) or are emotionally deep, or are believably world weary, absent major clinical depression.
Also, your version of "middle class" is some weird ass Republican ideology that has nothing to do with making movies or TV shows. Cut it out!
Love,
stj

I really don't want to drive to Roswell. It's like the most boring drive in the history of existence and then you're rewarded with Roswell.. Not much of a reward (other than friends who live there).
