Re: OT: Contact
I enjoyed this movie. I liked the irony weaved into it.
As for Foster fans... I think she's cute too... but fellas, you are out of luck... you don't have the right equipment for her...  |

And don't forget what the hitchhiker's guide has to say on the subject:
"THE UNIVERSE: Some Information to help you live in it.
POPULATION: NONE
It is known that there is an infinite number of worlds, but not every one is inhabited. Therefore there must be a finite number of inhabited worlds. Any finite number divided by infinity is as near to nothing as makes no odds, so if every planet in the Universe has a population of zero then the entire population of the Universe must be zero, and any people you may actually meet from time to time are merely products of a deranged imagination."
Douglas Adams rocks, and the HHG will live forever. |

Re: OT: Contact
Like I said, until one of those aliens lands on the white house lawn and says "I come in peace, take me to your leader" I will Subscribe to the fact that life does not exsist elsewhere in the universe.
Planet life and single celled organizms excluded.

So, if the universe has a wall, what's behind that wall?

Re: OT: Contact
The movie was alright, but I wasn't thrilled with some of the changes made to the story in the book, but then that always happens when a book is brought to screen.  |
