I saw "War of the Worlds" yesterday. What an odd film. Relatively tolerable, moreso. Cute aliens. I have yet to see a genuinely unique alien, though. Impress me

War of the Worlds was one of the greatest jokes in history. When Orson Welles read the story over consecutive nights, the people in real life panicking and heading for the hills made it great, since they took it seriously.
Now, it's just a movie. I can't help but have severely lowered expectations for it.
Agreed. Nothing can compare to people being stupid, but watching them have their lowest and most animalistic instincts being provoked in an arificial setting isn't awful. I have to tell you, there is more blood in this movie than any other. And that include both Kill Bills put together.
To me, to make this tale a really bloody one almost seems like sacrelige. However, I admit my morbid curiosity is aroused. I'll rent it when it comes out on DVD.
Having not seen the movie, I can safely tell you that alein looks fucking retarded.
If you want an awesome portrayal of H.G. Wells' Martians, read League of Extraordinary Gentlemen volume 2. Giant tentacled blobs of pure evil bobbling up and down inside glass containers > the alien from American Dad.
