Who else is excited about 'War of the Worlds'?

[Placebo]

I have high hopes. :)

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

1. I actually am

and that surprises me.

[edbermac]

2. I just hope the female lead in this one is better than the original...

That is the thing I hate about the original...I was practically begging the Martians to vaporize her...she was annoying as hell...

[TahitiNut]

10. This time it's the male lead we can hope gets vaporized.

:puke:

[redqueen]

13. only if he takes his clothes off, first

:evilgrin:

3. Still waiting on my UllaDubulla Remix of the musical

You do know about the musical version of War of the Worlds don't you? Well as cool as it was the Ulla Dubulla mix was better. But my copy got stolen with my car. Had to order a new one and no sign of it yet.

4. Speilberg will ruin it

The original was fabulous.

The only film in my childhood that gave me nightmares for years.

I saw it again a couple of years ago, and it still scared me, when those metal tenticale things with the big color eyes would zap someone.

Spielberg will make it cute.

5. I'm definitely interested

I'm not a big fan of Tom Cruise's acting abilities, but he has not been in too many crappy movies.

6. They filmed some scenes in Naugatuck, CT

which is not too far from where I live.

I might see the movie. I am not a sci-fi buff.

11. most of it was filmed in Newark

NJ, about 5 minutes from my school. Traffic sucked for a while

7. "Independence Day Two", you mean?

The scene where Tom Cruise and co. come out at night and see aliens is EXACTLY like the scene where Will Smith and co. come out and see aliens. But Will Smith saw them in the daytime.

:(

I have high hopes too, Tom Cruise picks good projects (mostly).
Spielberg....eh. We'll see.

9. That's The Same Thing I Thought

The Professor

[DelawareValleyDem]

16. Well, wasn't Independence Day One

a cheap ripoff of the original War of the Worlds?

[tjdee]

17. Yes, it was....

But I was being cheeky, LOL.

Since they've now done Independence Day, I see no reason to revisit the aliens coming to Earth theme for about 10 years.

[Worst Username Ever]

8. Yes, yes I am excited.

Strange to see Cruise in it though.

[redqueen]

12. I am

Looks good based on the trailers, but we all know how that sometimes goes. I'm trying not to get my hopes up. :)

[Downtown Hound]

14. It has potential

I wouldn't say I'm excited, but I'm curious. It has the potential to be really good. It also has the potential to be a stinkbomb.

15. Have they shown any scenes with the Martian vehicles?

I like Koyaanisqatsi also, got it on DVD with Powaqqatsi...
