Obi-Wan seemed liked he was dealing in absolutes in ROTJ when he was telling Luke the only way to save the galaxy was to kill his father. Oh well, Lucas must've been too busy listening to proposals for Star Wars PEPSI and MOTOROLA commercials to notice. Guess that's what you'd expect from a guy who decided that Luke & Leia's mom died because she just didn't want to live after giving birth and, by deciding to make SW a political commentary at the last minute, created an analogy where Osama Bin Laden is a jedi. Oops. Still a decent movie if you ignore George's pathetic attempts to have a message.

NEOCON!! FLIGHTSUIT!!!!

Don't tell that to NOW. They're busy hitting the talk shows explaining why Bush's appointee will be able to outlaw abortion immediately, as well as make-up and tank-tops. DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMED!!!!

If the film had stayed true to the book, the aliens would have gotten here by firing giant cylinders out of a giant cannon on Mars (explosions visible by telescope). Yikes. It's a great story but some things do need to be updated after 100 years.

I haven't seen the movie, but I can't believe so many people are unfamiliar with the ending. I read the book last year but I can't remember ever not knowing that the Martians die off from the earth germs they weren't used to. Part of me was hoping they might try to throw us for a loop by having a different ending. As for the "rushed" ending - well, this isn't ID4 where Jeff Goldblum writes a computer virus on his Mac and wipes out an entire alien species. WOTW is probably the most realistic alien invasion story in that there's NOTHING we could do to stop them. As H.G. Wells wrote in the original book, "it was no more a war than that between ants and man." (paraphrase) There's nothing Tom Cruise or anyone else could do to stop the invasion. The story should basically be two hours of survival until the "tinniest creatures" on earth save us.

Link Of course, he's not allowed to run, but whatever......

BUT BUT BUT it's a QUAGMIRE!!!!!!!! Paula Zahn said so.

It's a play on how you can't question the patriotism of anyone ever regardless of what they say or do.

Link Stop questioning his patriotism.

I thought this was interesting. Link Money quote: Well, duh.

OK, I thought of them sort of the way UConn does - were they at least the forerunners to NAVY SEALS? The impetus for SEALS? And did anyone back in WWII receive training the way the SEALS do now? Jus' wondering.....

Probably he was pretty upset that he almost hit a kid. This stupid girl almost gets herself killed and his life would've turned into a living nightmare (including the guilt of living with the fact that someone died after being hit by the car you were driving). Being upset enough to grab someone's arm after something like that makes sense. Attacking someone with an aluminum baseball bat for grabbing someone's arm does not.

She's definitely more attractive when she isn't trying to look like a slut, IMO.

There has to be some way he can appeal this, right?

No. And what's even more disturbing is how many more people must be sitting in movie theatres this summer scratching their heads after seeing the trailer. "I thought King Kong was about a monkey who climbed the Empire State Building. Why did they mess it up by putting dinosaurs in it?"

The storyline is taken straight from the original movie. Most of the original movie takes place on Kong's island and NOT NYC. And, yes, King Kong fought Dinosaurs back in 1933. So here, in 2005, if you're given a choice between: A - a movie where a giant gorilla fights a T-Rex and B - a movie where a giant gorilla does not fight a T-Rex YOU ALWAYS PICK CHOICE A!

You have to be friggin' kidding me.

6. Buckey thinks this is America's fault anyway. 7. Where did the number 300,000 come from anyway? How did we arrive at that exact figure? 8. Again, since when does the UN care about doing anything besides trying to stand in the way of everything the United States does? 9. Is the UN doing anything useful with all the other human rights disasters around the world? Why not? I'm sure the list could go on forever.

....and another World Series Championship and sweep for the American League in '05!

This is seriously a joke right? "Bring in the UN add another 300,000 men"??????? 1. Does the UN give a crap about the United States? 2. Aside from U.S. forces, does the UN have any military power to speak of?

Master Shake (describing his superhero alter-ego The Drizzle): "Ah, but, you know, The Drizzle......got bitten by a thirsty worm when he was a little kid......um, radioactive stuff.....look, I don't know how it happened but I swear to God from that day forward he could manipulate the rain.....and that, is FRESH!!!!!!" Master Shake (scouring the internet looking for crime to fight): "SEX WITH ANIMALS?! There's no time, man!!!"

Since the first King Kong movie......

The liberals will have a hard time trying to block him. 372699[/snapback] ...but I'm sure they'll still find a way to do it.

...another nominee for funniest sentence ever.....
