War of the Worlds Remake
subtropolis writes "The Guardian has an article about a remake of the classic. Spielberg directing, T. Cruise acting. The guy who did Jurassic Park I & II did the screenplay.

Lol, as stupid as the Republicans are that listen to his wanna be Rush oxy^H^H^H Limbaugh liberal hate show, it wouldn't surprise me if they believed it.

Why people still enjoy Tom Cruise is beyond me. The guy is obviously a fucking moron if he's gullibule and weak-minded enough to be suckered into Scientology.
