So I finally watched War of the Worlds

I know it's old and shit but I haven't had chance to watch it earlier... the point is that when I watch it I basiclly see GOW+CRYSIS+UT3 which kind of sucks since its based on a radioplay/book where all monsters and stuff was described

Quote from dissonance

Book? It was a radio play.

Ah yeah I remeber there was a panic in the US because of it, i thought there was a book aswell though.

edit: nah i was right.

The War of the Worlds was an episode of the American radio drama anthology series Mercury Theatre on the Air. It was performed as a Halloween special on October 30, 1938 and aired over the CBS Radio network. Directed by Orson Welles, the episode was an adaptation of H. G. Wells' classic novel The War of the Worlds.

Quote from FrieChamp

I remember lots of people from crytek coming out of the cinema, screaming in terror "the alien tripods look just like our scouts!!". Certain similarities were indeed quite surprising, but as we all know the Scouts from Crysis don't walk - they fly Still some people were afraid the public would bash us for ripping of war of the worlds, which was definitely not the case. A few more modifications to the character followed and I'm wondering if people even noticed it - but maybe this is exactly why you mention Crysis? I guess the walkers from UT3 are even more similar

UT3 Walkers are really simmilar, as for Crysis I was more about the last boss I guess, he walks, looks simmilar and uses tentacle to catch his enemies, also got some sort of canon simmilar to the movie.

And GOW because first off, something hits the earth then monsters are coming out of the ground...

Quote from ctswin

eh? GOW wasn't on earth.. they were mining on another planet and using the locust's resources... no?

Haven't You just mixed UT3 and GOW

Quote from m8nkey

Man that was a shit movie. The highlight for me was when Tom Cruise threw a sandwich and it stuck to the window.

I loled at it.

Btw, I actually liked Cruise&his movies till he became Pope of Scientology... I just lost all the respect I had for him.

Quote from Thrik

IMO any celebrity loses their allure when you know too much about their personal life, beliefs, etc. I find it harder to take their character seriously as I need to disassociate it with their real-life persona (freaky in Cruise's case).I feel sorry for Cruise though as he's just another in a long line of people brainwashed and manipulated by the Scientology cult, who love the money and publicity he brings to the cause and will be doing everything within their power to use him as a puppet.

True, I will never understand how is it possible to get manipulated that much. To me, their believes are incredibly stupid... I just can't get it how can You actually believe in this shit. I've read what Scientology is all about and ...
