We saw "Contact" last night and I HIGHLY recommend it. The film is actually
an improvement on the book and brings out even better than Sagan did in his
novel the central themes of science, faith and the primal drive for "contact"
with the universe. I am very hopeful that this film will plant some good
popular memes about skepticism and the value of science.
