"The Day the Earth Stood Still" Beamed Into Space

circletimessquare writes "Deep Space Communications Network has been hired by 20th Century Fox to beam the Keanu Reeves remake of 'The Day The Earth Stood Still' into outer space on its opening day. Whatever you think of the gimmick and its philosophical contradictions, rest assured that only the most important and highest minded of concerns went into the broadcast: 'Jim Lewis, Deep Space's director, said the company had to satisfy 20th Century Fox, the film's producers, that the transmission could not be intercepted and pirated on Earth or in the air.'" If only they had the technology to beam Keanu as well.

I don't think we want to be Trolling with aliens we never even met before. This seems seems potentially dangerous. Earth is going to lose Karma.

A review that I read and a comment from a colleague, both stated that the one good thing in the film actually was Keanu Reeves. Apparently he's really good at playing an alien uncomfortable in a human body.
