Um, I was quoting Southpark, but in looking for the exact quote I have 
noticed people use the Southpark reference as their single rationale that 
the movie is a bad movie.

I actually liked Contact, it was the first DVD I ever bought, however IF 
you make a book/movie about contact with Aliens then there ought to be 
some Aliens in there, somewhere.

I think the current trend of using humans with no makeup, prosthetics, 
etc, to be the "hidden enemy" aliens among us is going to get old fast. 

I am equally wary of forehead of the week aliens, a la trek, I like the 
balance Farscape and Firefly had.
