I'd really like to see a film where the alien invaders are not pure evil. Maybe they feel morally justified in attacking us because we're "wasting the planet". Maybe they feel like their acting in self-defense.

Already been done by The Day The Earth Stood Still. Maybe they should remake that...

If you mean the 1997 rerelease of "Star Wars" with the Episode 4 title shoehorned in along with the insipid "Greedo shoots first" set of edits, then yes, Lucas made even his masterpiece suck- mostly because of the inevitable comparison to the original. But maybe I'm overdoing my association of this set of edits with the Episode 4 subtitle...

If you think that the 4th movie to be released in the Star Wars franchise(subtitled "Episode 1") didn't suck , then there's no hope for you.

it was done in the 20's... here

With Arrnohld being Governor we're already on our way there...

E.T. had this Magic Touch(R)(C) technology for over 12 years now - definitely old news!

There is no pattern - if any, it's a pattern of your attitude towards Cruise. He had interesting parts in movies like "Rain Man" (1988) or "Eyes Wide Shut" (1999). In the former Cruise plays a disgruntled yuppie, in the latter a husband, tempted by the idea of marital infidelity. You might not like them (I actually like both), but don't pretend they don't exist.

This discussion brings to mind this really good docudrama about the making of the radio play and the way people responded to it. There are thoughts on the way mass media was emerging as an influence on what people believed, with appropriate references to emerging political media stars like Hitler and Roosevelt. And some amusing scenes, as the sound effects folks try to get just the right kind of sound, utilizing a microphone, a mason jar, and a toilet bowel!

I'm sure somebody else already pointed this out, but be nice to me. I'm "tired." Orson Welles directed the "Mercury Theatre" radio adaptation of War of the Worlds but he had nothing to do with the 1953 film version. Byron Haskin was the director of that.

"This film is accidentally considered public domain (meaning that anyone with the capabilities can release it without going through any copyright laws) because the copyright notice was left off after the title changed."

Ouch! I guess that goes to show anyone who says that the guys who make the titles aren't important.

Be warned that these are Very Big Files: 4.1G for MPEG2, 248.8M for MPEG4. To be expected for a 95 minute movie, though.

This not to be confused with the other War of the Worlds remake for a 2006 release. That version was going to take place in modern times, but after September 2001 and seeing shots they wanted to make being acted out in reality, the project went into a rewrite to set it in 1898 and make it a much closer adaption of the original book. This caused them to miss their intended release date of Halloween 2003, 50 years after the last movie and the date of the radio broadcast. (I even suggested to them to pull the date back to October 30th, the actual date of the Orson Welles broadcast, or hold a special sneak premiere on that date.)

I've had my hopes on that production more than this Spielburg-Cruise production, both before and after their decision to change the setting. I have no idea when the setting is for this one.

Unfortunately Hollywood does get it. The vast majority of movie goers will pay to see anything with explosions, F/X and a big name star. Look at the summer movie numbers. Why actually pay a screenwriter to come up with some shit like Torque when you can take something the studio already owns and "update" it. In the same vein why pay someone to write a good screenplay when you can buy the rights to a novel with a built in fan base and make a lowsy watered-down adaptation, with explosions. Same thing for pre/sequels.

Thats a trend that been building for a while now, and has begun moving to other entertainment industries (TV and Videogames), and its only going to get worse. Look to Hollywood if you want commitee written popcorn movies. Look to indies if you want art (not that all indies are good).

And please god, I hope no one in Hollywood ever "discovers" Takashi Miike. If they do to him what they did to John Woo, Jet Li and Jackie Chan, my life will lose all meaning.

...or at least some of it.

The first one is not a miss, it's just used for calibration.

Would you like to find out more about killing bugs? Here's how!

Welles never did a 'War of the Worlds' movie.. he did the fun radio address that scared people. Here is the first movie done after the radio address.

Spielberg became interested in making a version of the story during the 1990s, but instead of becoming a straight adaptation that project evolved into the film Deep Impact.

If Deep Impact in any way reflects King's interpretation of this story, I have a sinking feeling that this adapation may leave a lot to be desired. I was not really thrilled with that flick, and even being an avid fan of this book didn't make the connection between the two at the time.

The best part of Deep Impact in my opinion was that Morgan Freeman played the President... however he made a better god.

Is this the same movie?: IMDB link. Or did Steven buy these guys out?

What's next, a remake of Citizen Kane, Casablanca or Blade Runner?

Any relation to this Richard Matheson?

They were both diasppointments. Some legal hassle held up distribution of the original. It had a very limited release, on PBS. I waited almost 20 years to see it. And... it wasn't really very good. But, while the newer version had better actors, it had been eviscerated.

I don't know if they have any designs on Lord of Light yet, but last I heard, Sci-Fi was planning on an Amber miniseries, written by Richard Christian Matheson, whose past writing credits include such tours de force as The A-Team, Knight Rider, and The Incredible Hulk.

...the Steve Guttenberg project. Can you imagine it? All of his works, from the seminal "Police Academy" series to the touching "Cocoon", all available for free. Savor the acting in "Diner", then laugh your ass off at the zany antics in "Short Circuit". Oh, whose heart didn't go out to "Number 5" in that masterwork?

Text is dead; long live video. Free Steve's work now!

So, if you get out the mode that the world revolves around the male sensibilities, you will see that it is easy for a male to move the printer form place to place, big hands and all, but smaller hands have more trouble. Therefore a handle to get the printer into position is brilliant. This is what is called industrial design. It is why MS uses Apple machines in it's ads instead of PC machines. It is why many macs have handles. It is why so much of the software designed by people with the spatial sense of A Square sucks so much.

I just did some research on this topic, and it appears that Joe User isn't the first such character to mysteriously disappear. Joe Schmoe, Joe Sixpack, Average Andy, and Norman the Norm all predated even Joe User.

After watching a recent documentary on male models, I'm beginning to wonder if perhaps these average folk are being snapped up by the RIAA or MPAA to assassinate world leaders who threaten their indefinite copyrights and other ridiculous intellectual property arrangements.

This article seems pretty well centered around Hector Elizondo, however this show could be pretty interesting. I'll try to catch the first episode this evening, however I really hope this isn't the next Law and Order style courtroom drama. I'm much more apt to waste some time watching a CSI style show anyday.
Seems like cop/courtroom drama is the next reality TV... CBS was definatly all over that (read: Survivor)

Don't the doors only open when you make the "Shh" sound? Or was that just Airplane 2?

"Morphing" was introduced to Hollywood in 1988's Willow (for petrification special effects). (Search on that page for "ILM")

It was a magic-spell effect... therefore it should be considered related to Gary Gygax's use of the "polymorph" spell in 1974's Dungeons and Dragons.
