By the same arguement, since wearing a helmet is mandatory for motorcycles, it should be extended to include drivers and passengers of automobiles.

Since I am both a Jodie Foster fan and a sci-fi addict, I'll still have to watch CONTACT when it gets to HBO. Extraterrestrial transmissions are nearly always present in my turnip-sized intelligence quotient anyway. Even though Carl Sagan's first and only attempt to write science fiction left a lot to be desired (in the opinion of many), he was still the 'people's scientist,' as I like to refer to him as having been. He could get down to the layman's level when it comes to explaining cosmology to the masses, as his "Cosmos" series on PTV is evidence of. Therefore, with all these things to consider, plus my fondness for Sagan, Foster, and sci-fi in general, I'll be morally obligated to watch the flick despite your uncomplimentary review.
