What better film to watch during the war? An alien visits Earth and appeals to the leaders of nations to stop their aggressive and violent policies towards each other. Except that no one will pay attention to him and to his warning that the Earth will be destroyed if they don't listen up and act wisely. Sound vaguely familiar? Of course, this film was produced during the Cold War and is most relevant to that period, but it certainly wouldn't hurt for Mr. Bush and his advisors to watch it now. I missed watching the commentary on the DVD, which I heard was full of wonderful anecdotes from the director, Robert Wise. And what do you think "Klaatu Barata Nicto!" means? My guess: "Klaatu's okay, you big dumb robot, so quit killing people, it's not helping matters any."
