The "Tiphireth is still a whiner" OTT

[whoknows]

War of The Worlds, that is one ing movie I dont ing plan to watch again until its ing $10 or less on DVD.

That movie was ing hilarious. From the ing people getting destroyed at the beginning with the lasers (looked EXTREMLEY ing fake too) and them harvesting ing human organs and blood.
Humans sure were ed in that movie. I still cant ing believe that the whole U.S. army couldnt take one of those ing things down yet ing Tom Cruise could. Well of course ing Tom Cruise could because he is ing Tom Cruise.
Then that ing Dakota Fanning was so damn ing annoying screaming every other minute. If I was ing there I would have thrown her ing ass out the car window and let her ing die.

All in all this was a pretty ing okay movie.

I give it: 6 's / 8 1/2 's

Easily the worst ing movie of the entire ing summer blockbuster season. Bunch of ers made that movie. I was absolutely livid by the time I walked out of the theater.

minor spoiler

Anyone else think that the end sequence was a blatant ripoff of Half-Life 2?

I thought it was ing bad in general so I wouldnt say it was a ripoff since the ending sucked. Tom Cruise didnt die which made me ing sad.

There have definatley been worse movies out this ing summer though...

What really pissed me off is that none of the reviewers would say anything bad about it cause they all wanted to kiss spielberg's ass. I mean he made one of my favorite movies of all time (jurassic park) but that doesn't mean he's immune to making a crappy movie every now and then.

Well, truth be told, it's more like the sequences in HL2 are from war of the worlds. Remember, HG Well's story came out first. Plus there's also some nods to the older 60s version of War of the Worlds (particularly the bombed city look and the capture sequence).

When it comes to War of the Worlds, the phrase "to be fair" does not apply.

 

[CaseyRyback]

you guys should listen to the Orson Welles version if you have not. Its pretty cool, especially for something close to seventy years old.

If you're referring to the story itself then yeah, it's totally one sided. But I don't know how else it could be one sided. The story closely followed HG Wells story so if there's anything to blame besides the cinematography/cast, then blame HG Wells not Spielberg.

A highly underrated film, with great camera angles, a sense of urgency, and a very comfortable length. Who doesnt love silent credits?

I've got a tape of it, it's very cool. Orson Welles did such a great job of making it sound like the world was being attacked by aliens. And you have to love the fact that following the listening public freaking out,police were sent in to tell him to stop broadcasting, and he basically told them to off :lol:

Duel was a ing piece of shit. One of the WORST movies I have ever ing seen. Me and my dad were ing laughing most of the time. Calling that ing thing a movie is a ing overstatement. That ing moron that plays the main character jumping around at the ing end after the ing semi goes off the end of the road and crashed. What a ing waste of time. As I said before its good if you need a ing laugh.


As for the others I did like Indiana Jones...but thats about it.

I think we can officially declare that whoknows has poor taste in movies. You probably hate Monty Python and the Holy Grail.

Empire- never saw it.

E.T.- awesome

Schindler's List- I know it was supposed to be black and white, but that is the only thing keeping it off the list of my favorite movies

Saving Private Ryan- never saw it

Close Encoutners- I can only remember snippets, like when the space ship does the color/sound thing

Jaws- classic

Raiders of the Lost Arc- That was Spielberg?

Duel- never saw it

Jurrasic Park- good for its time. I don't really like it anymore

I don't think it's too different. The essence of the story is the same. Chronological edits have to be made to give it more believability in this age of instant information but the characters and their motivations in the story are essentiall the same. Remember, this story was done back in 1930something. We've had some more new advances since then - military weaponry, medical breakthroughs, telecommunications, etc. If they were going to do it in a modern setting some things have to be sacrificed to keep the flow of the movie.

I would say wihtout hesitation that Spielberg is perhaps the most over-rated American director of our time. Most of the above mentioned movies are, to be quite honest, boring as hell. Yes, even Jaws.

Man you must've seen different movies than I. I enjoyed all of them and empire of the sun also features a young Christian Bale in his element.

 

[hiccupleftovers]

Hmm....I'm not really sure if I put this in/posted this in last night's awesome OTT/in my gigantic post, but I finally managed to find a Battle Royale I & II on DVD at the Con. So now I no longer have to see it on my computer. Yay!

I also forgot to mention that while I was at the Aeon Flux booth/Paramount booth, I saw that there was a petition to get Duckman onto DVD. By the end of the Con (I left somewhat early so there could have been more), but there was at least 15-20 pages filled on it, so there still may be hope out there for us fans of the series.

My reporting skills aren't that great it seems, since there's a lot that I forget to mention. I definitely forgot to say yesterday that for us Aeon Flux fans out there, that they are going to release an Aeon Flux DVD Complete Collection with a ton of extras, the shorts, etc. I one for one am thrilled and will be even willing to get it for MSRP (yes very un-CAGlike). I missed out on when they first released it on DVD.

I also forgot to mention that I got to meet the creator of the psuedo spin-off of Aeon Flux, the guy that did The Maxx, and a whole slew of Star Wars actors from Peter Mayhew to Ray Park, to the guy that did R2D2 (name isn't coming), and the lady that was the Twillek in the fight scenes in Episode 1 and 2 (can't think of her name either). They were signing pictures of themselves for a fee, so I passed but I did get to chat it up with them. Oh and Star Wars Battlefield 2 is awesome and multiplayer in it is better than ever.

well in terms of times and stuff...but the way it was written is much different than the fast-paced, noisy, eruption of the movie. I recomend the book, definetly Well's best, although I only read half of "The Time Machine"

O ya, and Spielberg made Catch Me if You Can, Minority Report, and Hook (yes, I used to like it...shut up).

I don't know what movies you've been watching but nearly all of Spielberg's films are magical or better than most directors. Schindler's List is nearly my number one on my list of all time great movies. That movie makes me cry every time I watch it. Saddest thing I've ever seen ever.

Actually, I kinda envisioned it similiar to Spielberg's... maybe I just read fast. Anyway, if you have a tough time with the Time Machine, then you don't wanna check out The Time Ships by Stephen Baxter. It's a pseudo sequel to HG Well's story and explains how he got the Platternite in the first place.
