Different. That's a review.

It reminds me of "Slow Bob and the Adventures in the 2nd Dimension"...

Glad to hear you're still alive. Happy Father's Day.

Well, it seems like it was filmed 100 years ago, but with color and sound! Jerky movement at times. Maybe they did it that way on purpose? Like watching a "modern silent movie"!? Weird colors! Ed Wood would would be proud! Anyway, I've got 2 more hours to go, assume it doesn't get any better/, but I'll finish it this evening. I've hidden all my guns, but there's always silver ware and poison around.....oh, yeah, and baseball bats....

I enjoyed it, for what it was. Keep in mind that I didn't buy this at a videostore or a Sci-Fi shop or convention. I picked it up cheap at Rite Aid. I don't usually hold things up to very high standards if I picked them up at a drug store.

I'll have to read it prior to the new releases.

Has anyone ever heard the radio presentation?

There are a couple of places to read it online or download it to a PDF such as War of the Worlds. This is an online version, not a PDF, but if you Google around enought "War of the Worlds" +free or some such like that, you'll be able to find it.

I've been looking for my bookmark to the audio version. It's from the radio version that Orson Welles did that started that big panic way back when. Another easy find on Google, but I'm lazy tonight. I played it for my wife last Halloween and she loved it.

The reviews that I've been seeing of the C. Thomas Howell version have said that it's surprisingly good.

Yes, I ordered a copy from Amazon.
Boy, this other 3 hr version WAS strange. I'd like to hear from the people who made it-what were they thinking???

Then there's the one coming to the theatres too.

I just asked my son if he'd like to watch it again just for old time's sake.

"NO!"

I'll keep a list and ping anyone interested as new information becomes available.

Please add me to your ping list.

I hadn’t realized that you had bumped a 10-year-old thread.

I was searching for something else and stumbled over it.

Left a face print in the ground I did.

(Something that wouldn’t be in the movie version...)
