To masturbate extravagantly / To not masturbate at all and to subsequently have wet dreams.

I thought you meant simultaneously.

Oh well, it all depends on the semen production rate. You can subsequantly have wet dreams if the temperature is right, I guess.

Oh yeah saw, hated it. I think if War of the Worlds was about mindless lesbian sex it would have been better. Or better yet replace all the fancy hollywood special effects with two hours of good old American snuff films. Cruise would have been much more awesome had he not kept the stupid screaming spoiled shit of children around. He should have shot them and took the minivan on a trip to the land of not getting fried by aliens or getting jumped by a random angry mob. God I fucking hated War of the Worlds the 1950's version was so much better. And even then it was butchery of the HG Well's book. I am done here.

The movie was pretty good... I was hooked for a good part of the movie but some parts even post-apocalyptic enough for me. I like more rabid humans trying to survive... I don't know why that appeals me... :? Anyway...

*SPOILERS**SPOILERS**SPOILERS**SPOILERS*

The ending sucked and made absolutely no sense, there was no foreshadowint at all, the aliens dying because of bacterias? Ok. BUT DON'T SLAP IT IN THE END WHEN NOTHING SHOWS IT BEFORE! That ruined the movie... and also the bazookas... the tripods spent millions of years buried and they got blown off by some bazooka shit!? WTF!? :flamed: This ending was like: uh... yeah... good job guys... we lost all of our budget, now we have to end the movie soon... Hey! I have an idea! Let's make them die by bacterias! GNAHUHUH I'm brilliant, aren't I!?
I heard it wasn't even the real ending from the book anyway... Sorry for the authoer if it is...

The original story, which *SURPRISE* was a book had the same ending, in the "fact" that they died from bacterias...

what annoyed me most about it was that it wasn't obvious when they first began to fail...
I thought it was because Cruise had blown one of them up, and that one controlled most of the others.

And what's up with the martians?

"Uuuugh.. I don't feel so good man..."

"Think we should stop the machine?"

"Nah.. lets go after the humans.. we don't have anything better to do anyway.."

"Alright, but don't forget to turn on the shie..."

All hail MRSA or Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus Aureus for it pwned my ass for two months straight. By the way it still doesn't change my hatred of this rendition of War of the Worlds, I bet HG Wells is rolling around in his grave trying to goatse Speilburg and Cruise.

Forget War of the Worlds. Doom movie has opened its website. A demonslaughter in Mars, what could go wrong? The story seems to be as 'innovative' as in the original games. But that aint so important, ey?

The movie had many good points and several bad ones.

The acting was very good and the special effects blew me away. One thing, however, was that cruise's son lived. What kind of bullshit is that?

Another thing is that the walking machines are more faithful to H.G. Wells' concept than the 1953 version, although the being buried underground for millions of years thing was somewhat preposterous. You do have to take into account though the fact that we have radar, internet, long range communications and other things that would make cylinders falling from the sky less of a surprise than it would have been in the 1890s or even the 1950s.


We can ------------>*ALL*<------------------ say this though... IT WAS BETTER THAN THE BRITISH VERSION.



*whew*Anyone know who the grandparents were?


EDIT: all in all a great movie I've seen it four times.

If by very good you ment "Had actors who were annoying as fuck" then yes, it was very well acted.

Aren't there just a few child actors and they rotate them through all movies? They irritate me so much I cannot feel compassionate towards them. The little fuckers. Macauley Culkin was the only one with ATTITUDE. :yikes:
