War of the Worlds (Spielberg/Cruise)

[Mike Olbinski]

I thought it was a good movie and I really liked the ending. I was hoping that Cruise or the military wouldn’t just find some way to kill them. It was a clever concept.

You must never have read the books...or saw the original

You're right. I didn't. I guess I'm glad I didn't.

 

[Chaplin]

You're right. I didn't. I guess I'm glad I didn't.

That's too bad. It's a great book.

 

[Mike Olbinski]

Book was a thousand times better than any of the movies...

[Bada0Bing]

The book is always better.

I recently re-watched this with my son. This is a pretty good movie for kids with low movie standards. A bit scary, but not nightmare producing. If I were to remake this movie I would cut the plot line of the kids and instead focus on how the military/world dealt with these things. More like Armageddon.

Ha. I didn't know the "couch jumping" was during this film's promotion.

Due to Steven Spielberg's last minute post-production work, he had to drop out of a scheduled appearance with Tom Cruise to promote the film on The Oprah Winfrey Show. This was the episode of Cruise's highly publicized "couch jumping" incident.

Then you might want to watch the original 50's version.

I would like to reiterate how godawful this movie was. I am ashamed to have even been an extra in it.

Did Stout just say he didn't like my movie?

I'm pretty sure that's what he said Steve....

Mother ****er!

And I learned, by him chewing out a camera man about ten feet away, that good ol' Steve can REALLY swear

lol really? He always seems so calm which is why I thought the caption was funny.

I liked this film. I thought it was pretty cool. Having said that it didn't have the charm of the original movies although those are seriously dated.

 

[Stout]

Geesh. I guess it isn't hard to please some folks. I mean, sure, it's absolutely believable that you can drive 65 mph down a highway choked with abandoned and burned-out cars. This was an AWFUL sci-fi movie. And I had reason to really want to like it!

LOL. It's a movie based on the concept of an Alien invasion and you are having problems with that?

Yep. Because the ENTIRE movie felt the same way. It was all eye-rolling ridiculous. Not as in 'I had a problem because it didn't feel real'--like you said, it is an alien invasion--but because almost everything that was done was stupid and idiotic.

I don't know man...I liked it.

It was also cool to tell people "Hey! I know that guy...no, not that one, that one!"

:sigh:

LOL I know that guy...you know, the one that got cut from the film?

I don't know. Basically, it was B-movie sci-fi schlock with a big budget and a famous cast.
