      Now that you mention it, this movie is on my “alternative timelines” list, because I swear when I originally saw it it was Selsun Blue, not Head & Shoulders.

      I’ve had others agree with me; it’s The Berenstein Bears all over again.

        Might be one of those localisation things to replace it with a product known better to the local community?

      back when Arrival came out - my wife kept referencing Evolution as if suggesting the characters a way to deal with hostile aliens. would’ve made a better movie if they did it.

          No. Furthest from it. But my impression of this movie is forever shaded by my wife referencing the shampoo weapon from Evolution and it is a funny thing to think about. Remember Sunshine? The bomb the sun movie that goes fuck it and morphs into a space slasher - it would’ve been this kind of tonal shift out of nowhere.

        Dude! Ivan Reitman directed both Ghostbusters AND Evolution. And lots of people think of it as a cousin to Ghostbusters. Not sure if you knew that and were making reference to that but if not now you know.

          of course i knew about that. And it would’ve been fun to have a crossover between ghosts and aliens… oh wait… final fantasy did that…

      dunno. it was fairly common in the early internet around that the Transmetropolitan was starting. It would’ve been fun to mid 2000s Transmet adaptation startting Duchovny wearing a skull cap.
