The "FOURTH" Kind? Like... as in, "Close Encounters of the THIRD Kind"?

...Whereas the classic film written/directed by a young Steven Spielberg was based on actual "ufology" work by a J. Allen Hynek - the inventor of the whole "First", "Second" and "Third" kind system of classification - i can't find a single reference to a "Fourth" kind of encounter... that is, can't find any reference to it outside of this bulls--t movie.

After all, isn't the "Third" kind CONTACT? As in, actual physical meeting of our species with an alien intelligence?? Seems to me you can't get any further than that - meaning, essentially, that this "Fourth Kind" is hilariously unnecessary and bogus, even to the spurious tinfoil hat folks that still dot the modern landscape... in fact, i'll go ON to say there's likely more than ever, what with the (still) rising number of folks worldwide who're online. I wouldn't be surprised at all, in fact, if this movie's message boards contain one or two claims to the positive concerning this film's... shaky? Incredibly shaky?? Credibility.

You know you're in for a wacky flick when even the title is hilariously stupid.

P.S, they must have been howling in the theatres up north when the plane descends into a lush, mountainous valley with a small town in the basin and "Nome, Alaska" appears in letter at the bottom of the screen. What i wouldn't pay to have a recording from a first night screening of this movie in Nome, Teller...White Mountain... any of the surrounding areas... hell, ANYPLACE in Alaska well-aware that Nome is a town on a flat, FLAT sub-arctic tundra. It is, perhaps, the least photogenic city in the world. Hence the reason the brilliant director of this turkey decided to shoot in Beautiful British Columbia (i'm in North Vancouver, BC) instead. They also shot Bulgaria. So there's that.
