War Of The Worlds!!!!
 

WoooooooooooooooooooooooW!!!!!

Me and Tinks have just been to the cinema to watch War of the worlds. FANTASTIC film.
Usually if there is a load of hype about a film I usually don't like it.......BUT this time I was pleasantly suprised.
The film was good, the sound was good, the chairs were comfortable and the company wasn't bad either:p .
I highly recommend it to people.........................wow!!

Re: War Of The Worlds!!!!
 

seen the old one

Re: War Of The Worlds!!!!
 

I've gotta agree with you slinky, I took the kids last thursday on preview day and thought it was fab. But if I had to make any criticism it would be I thought it finished too suddenly and I would like to have seen a bit more of the aftermath and how his relationship with his kids changed after!

Re: War Of The Worlds!!!!
 

Saw it last night Slinky :) Yes WOW.... could not rest until it stopped

One of the best films I have seen........

Re: War Of The Worlds!!!!
 

Excellent ....... it was really really good :D scariest part for me though was a spider crawling on the little girls face eeewwwwww !!!

Just hope they have good cleaners there though, me and popcorn don't mix!

Re: War Of The Worlds!!!!
 

Glad you explained popcorn. When you said 'scary' and 'cleaners' l had a totally differenty image!:eek:

Re: War Of The Worlds!!!!
 

Lmao rindy thats anoher story for another day hehehe!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: War Of The Worlds!!!!
 

the ending was a bit rubbish though
it could have had great sequel potential

Re: War Of The Worlds!!!!
 

I love the original Jeff Wayne sound track “The War of the Worlds.” I keep seeing a CD version in Sainsbury’s. I’m tempted to get it but then I am not sure how it all goes now, it’s been that long since I’ve heard it, mid 80s at least. Thanks for the run down on the Film. I will go and see it now people think it’s a good one.

Re: War Of The Worlds!!!!
 

I like that too Doug, our Dad had the War Of The World CD, it wasn't in the film though which was a disapointment :(

Re: War Of The Worlds!!!!
 

Re: War Of The Worlds!!!!
 

The soundtrack to the new film is now available;and the original Jeff Wayne version has been remastered and repackaged but it's still basically the same thing that you had on vinyl Doug!

Re: War Of The Worlds!!!!
 

Tinkerbell You not like spiders .. I keep them as pets.......:D there armless..( just got 8 legs thats all )

Re: War Of The Worlds!!!!
 

Thanks Lindsay, I think I'm whipping out to Tescos later tonight so I might pick it up.

Re: War Of The Worlds!!!!
 

My daughter bought the CD version for her dad on fathers day. Its just like the original only better quality sound.... I hadn't listened to it in years but it all came flooding back as if it was yesterday. You wouldnt be disapointed if you bought the new version :)

Re: War Of The Worlds!!!!
 

Cheers I'll go and see if I can get it tonight, bl**dy hell this is going to bring some memories back.......They use to play the opening track as a warm up in the clubs. I was a teenager back then, my god.

Re: War Of The Worlds!!!!
 

Am I female? Does any female like spiders? .................... It's the legs that are the worst :( wax the buggers I say, before they grow all the way down your leg :D !!!

Re: War Of The Worlds!!!!
 

Omg I hate spiders. We get really HUGE ones in our house, they walk round my livingroom with there steel toe cap boots on and there hard hats. God they are hard little beggers.
One kick of them and you're down.....................

Re: War Of The Worlds!!!!
 

Just a quickie to say that I went to Tescos and I got War of the Worlds, fantastic. I also got flashed twice at a little over 35 mph. Gutted,

Re: War Of The Worlds!!!!
 

Rindy up to his old tricks again Doug ..... you really should ring the police on him next time :D


Seriously them damn cameras are a pain in the butt, people only slow down for them then speed back up when they've passed them, or so I've been told, because I would never speed ;) it's naughty!

Re: War Of The Worlds!!!!
 

getting flashed at 35mph is pointless you cant see a thing :rolleyes:

Re: War Of The Worlds!!!!
 

Bitch...............lol :p

Re: War Of The Worlds!!!!
 

If it was rindy flashing you wouldn't see anything at any speed, so I'm told :)

Re: War Of The Worlds!!!!
 

you could be lucky and be just under the speed they fine at, plus you could if you are fined and ask for a copy of the callibration of the camera and if they can't provide it then you should appeal successfully that the camera may not be callibrated correctly! Just a little tip for you

Re: War Of The Worlds!!!!
 

I doubt it Harwood, A little over 35 would have been around 39 mph but no faster. If they got me it’s deserved.

Re: War Of The Worlds!!!!
 

thats probably coz its usualy in somones mouth :eek:


we are talking about thumbs arnt we :confused:

Re: War Of The Worlds!!!!
 

tut tut, you wouldn't catch me doing that!! http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/4/4_18_3.gif

Re: War Of The Worlds!!!!
 

Re: War Of The Worlds!!!!
 

Don't worry I'd slow down for that......:o

Re: War Of The Worlds!!!!
 

Ok, just finished listening to Jeff Wayne’s War of the Worlds. I last heard it in 1982 and I remembered it all of it like it was yesterday, brilliant. I think I’ll go and see the film over the weekend. Cheers folks.

Re: War Of The Worlds!!!!
 

you cant see jack when she is under the dash board...............:rolleyes:

Re: War Of The Worlds!!!!
 

If it flashed you were over the limit, they still flash when they have no film in so just hope this was the case.
FYI camera's in a 30 zone are set at capturing speeds above 35mph, worked out at speed limit +2mph +10% of speed limit
46 in a 40 zone
57 in a 50 zone
68 in a 60 zone
79 in a 70 zone

Re: War Of The Worlds!!!!
 

Thanks for that KSH, I was flashed in Preston last year and that had no film/camera in it. I don’t mind been done for it I was over the limit. It was the surprise of the flash?

Re: War Of The Worlds!!!!
 

anyone think that the flash could be dangerous and distracting???

Re: War Of The Worlds!!!!
 

i think the cameras them selves are dangerous because people see them and slam the brakes on to avoid the fine so the poor ****** behind goes smack into the back of them ( yes i kow they shouldnt be speeding anyway but almost everyone does )

i agree with speed cameras but what i diagree with is where they are located they should only be in residential areas and outside schools etc

Re: War Of The Worlds!!!!
 

Sounds good is it ok for kids aged 9.

Re: War Of The Worlds!!!!
 

there is no blood and gore it's more tense than scary, I suppose it would depend on the 9 year old

Re: War Of The Worlds!!!!
 

he loves harry potter and the other big one can't remember its name , very violent

Re: War Of The Worlds!!!!
 

I think he would prob be fine then but don't come back to me if he isn't!!! ;)

Re: War Of The Worlds!!!!
 

I have the CD also Doug, it really is tremedous and the naration by Richard Burton (what a fabulous speaking voice) is pretty true to the original book. Of course, I'm sure the Tom Cruise film is good, but how they have the cheek to call this, or the earlier version with Gene Barry "War of the Worlds" is beyond me, as neither bear any real relation to the book. For one thing, the original story is set in England not America.

"........and slowly, but surely, they drew their plans against us!" 'Da-Da-Da' - riviting stuff!

Re: War Of The Worlds!!!!
 

the film was goodish but i felt let down a little

there were more product placements than action scenes but thets typical of speilberg films

a 9 year old with a vivid imagination may well not sleep too well after watching this as although there were no realy gorey scenes it did show the aliens shredding human bodies and spraying them like fertilizer and people getting vaporized as they ran away screaming

the certification is a 12a i think so its upto each parent i suppose as to how they think their kids will handle it

Re: War Of The Worlds!!!!
 

cheers Chav i will bear that in mind.........

Re: War Of The Worlds!!!!
 

I was quite disappointed in it. The film I mean.

There were a lot of bits just too far fetched to accept like the boot behind the mirror bit and I was almost amused by the thingy looking at itself as if it was just going to say "Who's a pretty boy then?"

How come Tom Cruise was the only person who thought of replacing the solenoid in the vehicles?

Why were they "running away" towards the tripods when his son went off with the army?

How come those army trucks all came back on fire and people got vapourised but the lad ended up at Grandma's house?

Wasn't one of the scenes where they got sucked up inside a tripod a direct "lift" from Stargate SG1?

Boy those soldiers were strong to hold back all those surging crowds at the ferry.

Wasn't it odd how he just happened to bump onto an old friend in such a vast crowd and then she didn't make it onto the ferry?

OK as you can probably guess I am a great fan of the book and this was nothing like the book.

Incidentally, I'm female and I'm not afraid of spiders unles they are very large and deadly poisonous.

no in SG1 they use rings that beam people upto space ships :D

Re: War Of The Worlds!!!!
 

It would have been nice in opinion to have the film follow the original book and at least paid some tribute to the Jeff Wayne sound track. I haven’t seen it yet but I will do this week.

Re: War Of The Worlds!!!!
 

Re: War Of The Worlds!!!!
 

there was a film called EVOLUTION with the guy out of the x-files where they find a new life form and it ends up growing to a huge size

they use a fire truck and climb into the creatures bum and plant an explosive device and the guy comes out covered in gunk
