War of The Worlds

The BBC are making a series based on HG. Wells book.
It's supposed to be authentic, we'll see!
I was just saying the other day that no one has ever made a decent film of this wonderful story.
(Don't mention the Tom Cruise rubbish)
I can't do links on my phone, hope someone can do for me
We can only hope...

Re: War of The Worlds

That sounds good Tessa and I agree about the Tom Cruise rubbish. I just hope they use a good director and not one of those trendy ones.

Re: War of The Worlds

The 1953 version is the best

Re: War of The Worlds

Actually I liked the Tom Cruise film but have to admit I like most sci-fi and I'll watch anything

Remember the stink last time it was on the radio it started as a norm broadcast then they did, We interupt this programme to announce.....Ha! and people thought we really had been invaded

Really looking forward to the BBC version, bring it on

Re: War of The Worlds

That was back in the day when people believed what the BBC said.

Re: War of The Worlds

Ha! Yes LD hadn't thought of that, in fact I remember driving back from having lunch with a pal on 9/11 listening to the radio and I honestly thought it was a spoof...

Re: War of The Worlds

Well said that Man, yes I no longer believe a word the BBC spew out with their biased and PC opinions.

Re: War of The Worlds

That's a great idea, as long as it doesn't turn out like 'Dr Who' ...very dubious!
I also liked the Tom Cruise version, but then, I like Tom Cruise and watch anything with him in. I thought his best film was 'A Few Good Men' although Jack Nicholson excelled in that film too.

Re: War of The Worlds

It will certainly be interesting to see what changes they make to the original story.

Re: War of The Worlds

Yes, I third that sentiment.
I feel like I've been brainwashed after listening to the 'Holier than thou' newsreaders trying to be unbiased....
Do they actually believe half the things they read....
