The original, which I have seen about a million zillion times (taught a Science Fiction class, so there you go) was preachy too, but just in a "we need to stop killing each other" type of way.<BR/><BR/>I can't stand Keanu Reeves. He can't express emotion to save his life... this is probably the only movie where I actually agree with his casting. Emotionless Alien.

All summer long, I spotted Texans for Obama signs and bumperstickers. Not one for McCain. Could Texas go blue? My spirits soared until I heard on CNN that 23% of Texans thought Obama was a Muslim. Who are these people and where do they live? Still no McCain stickers or signs. Austin is truly an oasis in a sea of stupidity.Susan DeMarhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12296448785880261191noreply@blogger.com
