    Here's the problem I have with War of the Worlds

    Watching it right now on Max.

    It's at the part where they are hiding in crazy Shawshank dudes cellar. They want me to believe that a race of aliens, who planted their shit here millions of years ago, can come swooping down in a bolt of lightning, and drive big machines with laser beams, but can't see heat signatures with their stupid little serpent eye thingy?

          Oh and it gets better... now they want me to believe that for some reason that serpent thingy is made from an alloy that can't resist an axe attack, but just a few minutes ago, rockets were having no effect.

                Wasn't it weak how they used "planted machines" from millions of years ago instead of just invading the earth with their most current weaponized machines - whenever they were ready to invade?
                Also, how lucky were they that they buried those machines millions of years ago in just the right spots as not to be affected by tectonic plate shifts and end up in very populated cities. amazing! amazingly stupid.

                      The one that always made me laugh was the fact that the space traveling aliens needed to put signs in corn fields (by knocking down stalks) to direct their invasion. that is just pure fat stupid.

                          The movie is based off of a book that was written in 1898 IMO it's wasn't a bad story line from a guy that was thinking that far ahead of time. The guy that wrote that book was thinking way a head of his time and it's still a good story in this age and time.

                            The movie lacked the impact of the original radio broadcast - back when listeners were forced to use their own imaginations.

                            Imagine listening to it on the radio and not knowing for sure whether it was a genuine event...or a clever radio play (putting aside the obvious time compression of events).

                                my problem is that ever since TC went crazy, i cant watch any of his movies... the only thing that was interesting about it was wondering if dakota fanning was going to do a drew barrymore with her life and if she will be hot or not when she is 18...

                                  what you have to remember though it is an adaption of the original 1953 classic, and they didnt have Infra red back then

                                    People must have been dumb back then. I still can't imagine sitting around a radio, listening to what you actualy believe is an alien invasion...

                                      and a little detail, water = life, without water there would be no life here and probably nowhere else

                                        Stupidity isn't a new thing.

                                        But contrary to the popular myth - there wasn't widespread panic in the streets or mass evacuations during the original broadcast. It was largely exaggerated over the years.
