janestarzI was really in the mood for sex a movie last night. So NoKey and I watched Contact, with Jodie Foster, while eating muchomacho yummy Boerenkool. That movie is kickass.
I must confess that there are a lot of movies I still want to see, but the lack of a vcr, a computer that will play .avi's and the funds-problem (everlasting student here) deprives me of watching all these movies. On the list are The Hours, The Ring, Pirates of the Caribbean, and many more.
The goosebumps crawled all over my arms when the signal was received, and I kept the goosebumps for at least 15 minutes after that. The mere idea that a signal from outtahspees is received, and it being such a strong signal, and then the fact that it turns out to be one of the earliest broadcasts sent into space by mankind...even if that was a speech of Hitler, declaring the Olympics for '36 to be opened. That was a shock to everyone and should ring a good number of alarm bells with the viewer.
What if there is life on other planets, what kind of image will they get from us if they listen to our planet? How will they see the pollution, the hate, the wars. It makes Earth look so tiny and insignificant. It also makes me realise that if we destroy our environment because we can't seem to make a compromise, we have no place to run to.
After all, we're all Earthlings. Why do we fight? Can there be no compromises with religion, lands, wealth and power?
I hated Jodie's boss, magnificent actor. Really got me from my seat (and on his way to strangle him). His role made me realise that life aint easy and there will always be people like him around to spoil the day.
Good special effects, good message. Goooooood Movie.
But then again, I might be a freak.

Up From The Skies
I just want to talk to you
I won't do you no harm
I just want to know about your different lives
On this here people farm
I heard some of you got your families
Living in cages tall and cold
And some just stay there and dust away
Past the age of old.
Is this true ?
Please let me talk to you.
I just wanna know about
The rooms behind your minds
Uh do I see a vacuum there
Or am I going blind ?
Or is it just uh, remains of vibrations
And echoes long ago ?
Uh things like 'Love the world' and uh
Uh 'Let your fancy flow'
Is this true ?
Please let me talk to you
Let me talk to you.
I have lived here before
The days of ice
And of course this is why
I'm so concerned
And I come back to find
The stars misplaced
And the smell of a world
That is burned
A smell of a world
That is burned.
Maybe it's just a... change of climate
Well I can dig it
I can dig it baby
I just want to see.
So where do I purchase my ticket ?
I'd just like to have a ringside seat
I want to know about the new Mother Earth
I want to hear and see everything
I want to hear and see everything
I want to hear and see everything
Yeah...
Aww, shucks
If my daddy could see me now
Everything, everything, everything, oh everything.
