A few weeks ago I watched The Day the Earth Stood Still. The US arrogance was so laughable and yet believable. We attacked an alien spacecraft before we knew if they were violent or not. We captured the alien. When he asked to speak to the UN we said "No, you landed in the US. You're ours". Shockingly this lead to the near destruction of our planet. Tonight Deep Impact came on after the conclusion of the Finer Things club. Since I've become nocturnal I stayed up to watch it. In this movie the US government knows about an extinction level comet heading toward the Earth for A YEAR before they not only tell the general population but they wait a year to tell other countries. We build a ship to save the planet without telling other countries or asking for help. Shocker, the mission fails. Granted they save most of Earth. If I ruined the ending for you, I'm sorry it's over 10 years old and you probably will never see it. I find it humorous that we don't seem to care if we come off arrogant even in our own movies.

BTW in Deep Impact pre-selected scientists, engineers, teachers, artists, soldiers, and officials were saved to restart society. Dork, next time Matt tells you economists are more important than artists just tell him that you would be saved in a mass extinction event and he would not.
