How could anyone <i>not</i> think this shit is absolutely nuts? And now they've converted Will Smith? Anyone else think they really ARE pod people and the real Tom Cruise and Will Smith have turned into dust?

Is that still true? Are people really that clueless? The "alien" stuff has been common knowledge for years now, I thought.

I'm glad mediocre science fiction isn't deadly, because I've read a lot of really poor sci-fi books. Thankfully I'm unscathed.
