Best movie of the fucking year!
:Spin: :Spin: :Spin: :Spin: :Spin:
Go watch it...NOW :dopey:


This is seriously the stuff my dreams are made of....
It was so good, I had tears in my eyes.
 
I'm in a debate on going to this one. My mom just asked me to go with her.

And the chick at Dairy Queen (Gwen)also wants to go with me.


Is it worth going twice?
 
Who is the one we're goign to force to forcibly remove his testicles anyway?


I'm pretty sure they got cut off during The Last Samurai movie. Those swords are sharp...I"m sure a ball or two was set free. make way for scientology!

(hey..that rhymes)
 
Tom Cruise is an advocate of the sham known as Scientology...
Along with John Travolta.
There are other celebs that believe this insidious tripe, but those two are the most outspoken. Ordinarily one shouldn't be blacklisted for belonging to a religion, but Scientology is only a religion so they don't have to pay taxes.
Furthermore, they dismiss all psychiatry as "pseudoscience" when in fact their methods are thoroughly just that.
Also, Scientology has an active celebrity recruiting program, in which they use celebrties as figureheads to recruit people(and take their money for bogus "auditing" by severly unqualified individuals who use tin cans (really!) Of course they always find something wrong with you, whereas at least some psychologists won't try to con you out of your money unconditionally.
 
I'm sorry to offer this spoiler but I ran across a clip of War of the Worlds' climactic scene where tom cruise battles the supreme evil alien.

scroll fast if you intend on seeing this movie and want it to remain a surprise.

Although it was a well made movie and very enjoyable to watch there is one fatal flaw in the storyline and sadly enough if they just stuck to the original HGWells story this would not have happened.

Can anyone guess what?
 
The original War Of the worlds movie is GREAT, Ive read the book, watched the TV show and I even love the soundtrack (believe it or not)
I would definitely go watch this one!!!!!

Dan.... ow no!
Hollywood ruined the original story... AGAIN???

I'm with you Karen, I loved the original movie. The book fo course was fantastic. I thought the TV show was great. I even watched the BBC series " Tripods" which was a take off on the war of the worlds. For those who never saw it , the premise was kind of a what if the martians succeeded and enslaved man idea.
The musical with Justin Hayward was very cool, they are re-releasing it on DVD finally.

I think that if you are going to follow a religion made up by a bad science fiction writer you should just declare yourself a Jedi. It's actually less creepy somehow.

Agreed!
At least there were a few good Star Wars films, the Battlefield Earth movie was just embarrassing.
 
i saw WotW last wednesday. i wasn't too impressed - too much standard hollywood there. they had some cools scence tho - like when tom cruise (iirc) walks through that forest (or small group of trees) and it rains the clothing of the killed people - that looked quite cool...
