I cancelled my Scientific American subscription after the gratuitous hit piece on Lomborg and its inane pseudo-scientific article on "small arms". The editor that took over a couple years ago toned down the science content and turned it into a Mother Jones magazine supplement.
I thought "Signs" a much better alien movie.
I couldn't take Foster as the perfect, all-wise, brainy scientist who encounters the god-like aliens.
And the story cemented my dislike of Sagan as junk scientist.
