My taste in SciFi is different so I'm going to watch Pendragon's War of the Worlds even though everybody says it sucks except the woman who writes the news:rec.arts.sf.movies FAQ.
Pen's WOTW is tough to get through. But two things made it just bearable: It follows the book in the old Victorian age and THERE'S NO TOM "I LOOK DOWN MY NOSE AT YOU WOGS" CRUISE!!
