I've seen it but I'm wondering if that's the same one with the short story of the woman who runs over the hitchhiker who keeps showing up asking for a ride.

this is a british chronology of short stories ..
Joan collins was in one,

creepshow #1 (the Peter Cushing sequence) was a lot like Tales From The Crypt ... so was the 1st story

*********SPOILER **************

the last story in tales was of a poor house for blind people back in the day who were treated cruelly by the guy running the house ..
so for revenge they created a maze with razorblades stuck in the walls that he was forced to run through in the dark.

I left before that point ,,,,

even though more a sci fi, action movie, i was disturbed and a little frightened by war of the worlds. Just the idea of that happening was a little intense, and the (spoiler) whole, suck the blood out of us with a needle tube was scary, and how it made like, vein roots on the ground. That movie had a great suspense scene though too, with tom cruise and dakota fanning in the cellar, when the big search probe was looking around and it was dead silent. reminded me of jurassic park in the kitchen.:D

I thought the new War of the Worlds was AWFUL. Some of the lines were cring-inducing ["Is it the terrorists?" being among the worst], the acting was BAD, Spielburg had to make it a "touching" family drama....the only thing it had going for it were the effects. Those were incredible.

a kid said the terrorist line, kids say everything, so that doesnt count.


but what did you think of the probe part in the cellar?

i thought it was pretty effective until the last 5 minutes ...

thats not what i meant :

*************Spoilers **************

the bullshit that had him carrying his daughter like she was on her last legs - only to have her pop up and energetically run to her mom .. it was obviously for the visual effect .. seemed hollow to me,

also .. the son shouldnt have lived .. that was just feel good hollywood bullshit..

[Posher778]

well... yeah... personally, i think that everyone should have lived....








except tom cruise.

Agreed!

***More Spoilers***

Another thing that bugged me about the ending was the fact that they were killed off by A FRIGGIN COLD. Sure, that was in the original book, but the book didnt really make a point of saying that they had been observing us for millions of years. In the book, it was more like "Heh, they only watched us for a couple weeks. Guess we showed them that planning pays off!". This was more like "Hey! They watched for millions of years and didnt realise they could cath a cold. Stupid martians...". Another thing along the same lines: Why didnt they die when the came here initially to "plant" the tripods? The whole thing is a plot hole as far as Im concerned.

***End of Spoilers***

Yet another thing that bugged me. Speilberg tried to make us "feel" for the family, yet they were some of the least likeable characters Ive ever seen:rolleyes:
