story identification - Woman knows a group of boys is taken over by aliens because they don't check out her breasts


I started watching a sci-fi movie in late '90 or early '00 on a Finnish channel called MTV3. There was a crashed spacecraft in a forest, much like those you see in the northern parts of the world. A group of boys found it and explored it, they figured out it'd be good way to make cash if they show it to people asking for money. Can't remember how many there were in the group but at least two. Early teens.


Next they had people lining up to see it, I think. Eventually it attracted a team of agents or the like. I think there were three of them and atleast one of them was woman. They planned to check out the crashed ship pretending to be like any other curious person. Before entering the ship, the woman opened up some top buttons from her shirt so anyone could get a good look at her breast. After they had explored the ship, the woman told the other(s) that the boys have been taken over by aliens, when someone else asks her how does she know, she says it's because they didn't look at her breast.


The movie was most likely made in USA and maybe early or mid 90's.


Other detail I'm not so sure about, but the channel had a theme going around at the time where they showed some b-class movies of the "so bad it's good" variety, this one might've been shown during that time.



Answer



You are looking for The Puppet Masters.



The Earth is invaded by stingray-shaped alien "slugs" that ride on people's backs and control their minds. Imdb




Basically the woman agent says that because the boys / men didn't check her out (as her fellow male agent did) there is something off about them. This leads to them realizing they shouldn't go into the obviously fake UFO that the boys have constructed around the alien crash site (which is a vehicle (homonym) for infecting more humans).


I think later in the movie she undoes a couple of buttons in her blouse as a test and gets a similar disinterested reaction from infected people.

Why didn't The Doctor or Clara recognize Missy right away?

So after it was established that Missy is actually both the Master, and the "woman in the shop" who gave Clara the TARDIS number... ...why didn't The Doctor or Clara recognize her right away? I remember the Tenth Doctor in The Sound of Drums stating that Timelords had a way of recognizing other Timelords no matter if they had regenerated. And Clara should have recognized her as well... I'm hoping for a better explanation than "Moffat screwed up", and that I actually missed something after two watchthroughs of the episode. Answer There seems to be a lot of in-canon uncertainty as to the extent to which Time Lords can recognise one another which far pre-dates Moffat's tenure. From the Time Lords page on Wikipedia : Whether or not Time Lords can recognise each other across regenerations is not made entirely clear: In The War Games, the War Chief recognises the Second Doctor despite his regeneration and it is implied that the Doctor knows him when they fir

the lord of the rings - Why is Gimli allowed to travel to Valinor?

Gimli was allowed to go to Valinor despite not being a ring bearer. Is this explained in detail or just with the one line "for his love for Galadriel"? Answer There's not much detail about this aside from what's said in Appendix A to Return of the King: We have heard tell that Legolas took Gimli Glóin's son with him because of their great friendship, greater than any that has been between Elf and Dwarf. If this is true, then it is strange indeed: that a Dwarf should be willing to leave Middle-earth for any love, or that the Eldar should receive him, or that the Lords of the West should permit it. But it is said that Gimli went also out of desire to see again the beauty of Galadriel; and it may be that she, being mighty among the Eldar, obtained this grace for him. More cannot be said of this matter. And Appendix B: Then Legolas built a grey ship in Ithilien, and sailed down Anduin and so over Sea; and with him, it is said, went Gimli the Dwarf . And when that sh

What is the etymology of Doctor Who?

I recently decided to watch Doctor Who, and started viewing the 2005 version. I have the first two episodes from the first season, and I can't help but wonder what is the etymology of the name "Doctor Who"? And why does the protagonist call himself "the Doctor" (or is it "the doctor")? Answer In the very first episode of Doctor Who (way back in 1963), the Doctor has a granddaughter going by the name "Susan Foreman", and the junkyard where the TARDIS is has the sign "I.M. Foreman". Barbara, who becomes one of the Doctor's companions, calls him "Doctor Foreman" (probably assuming that is his name given his relationship to Susan), and Ian (another early companion) does the same in the second episode, to which the Doctor says: Eh? Doctor who? What's he talking about? "Foreman" is most likely selected as a convenient surname for Susan to use because it happened to be on display near where the TARDIS landed.
