Last night I saw the trailer for the new film War of the Worlds. It opens with the narration of "No one would have believed, in the early years of the 21st century, that human affairs were being watched..." The only problem was it was some American with a gruff voice saying it, and it just doesn't work! If anyone has heard the Jeff Wayne musical version, and the incredible narration by Richard Burton, the gruff American voice is almost laughable.... One of the major reasons for this I think is that the passage being read has been adapted from the book, which was written in 1898. It was well written, and I personally cannot imagine any American (no offence) talking in such a dialect. It is for this reason, as well as several others, that I cannot see this film living up to the legend that is War Of The Worlds.

Someone should make a War of the Worlds thread before I ruin this one completely

I think his classical scores have been overused by Spielberg and GL. Get some heavy metal!

Where does the internet come from? And how might I turn it off?

Since the music from that version isn't (as far as I'm aware) in the new film, I do not see how the new film can do anything but suck. You can't have War of the Worlds without the "DUN-DUN-DUN...DUN-DUN-DUN" theme tune. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I totally agree with you How is a film like that going to suceed, when there was classic music they could have bought and used, making the film at least 10 times better!

Yeah just blow-up all the planet's you can't be bothered to do SO LONG NAR-SHADDA! BOOM!

Major Bummer Private Parts General Idiot

Thanks Kaftan! You know I've actually got the original LP of that on vynal. The music's just great...

My name By-Tor is taken from a Rush song, By-tor and the Snowdog. Probably my favorite song ever. It also tells a story My Avatar is like something I totally randomly found while clearing out my PC. I think it looks sorta cool :cool: My quote is the opening lines from arguebly the greatest science fiction novel of all time, War Of The Worlds. I'm looking folward to the film, but I don't like the fact that it's set in modern day America, rather than the classicaly intended 19th Century Britain. :angry: Ah well it's made by Spielberg, the same nutter who put baseball in a Peter Pan film.

Tis not the jedi way! Also he was as good as dead, so Obi-Wan just ran off "

Those extras were infact zombies that Darren Brown hypnotised previously to help with the trick. " The two friends were also hypnotised, as was the cameraman and everyone in the pub.

Nice. Gotta be Visas Very representative of this forum. Lol

Any news?

My mistake :"> Yeah the troops from the republic commando games did look a little bulky. Also the game was rubbish <_< (In my opinion)

A friend recommended this to me, and I reckon it's quite good. Take a look and see what you think It's Vegetable Star Wars! Tell me what you think

KOTOR 765- The Training of Yoda

Yeah if anyone's seen that episode of the clone wars cartoon about clone troopers. Genius!

Anyone here like the Scorpions? I saw them live earlier this year when the supported Judas Priest. Rock ON! :cool: Bad Boys Running Wild- The Scorpions

I think it also has something to do with dialoge options aswell, such as the conversation with Kreia abord the Ebon Hawk.

Yeah they are pretty cool. Shame in Episode 3 that Yoda whips 2 with the force. They should not have been made fun of........

Storm Troopers Simply because they are not CG!

Final Fantasy was what got me on to RPG's!

Anakin Vs Obi Wan definately. Thought they were locked in a stalemate, until Anakin got ****y and lost his legs. Also Anakin Vs Younglings Also why is the word c0cky filtered?

That is MC Chris, but someone remixed it to give it crappy music. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> If you want to listen to the original version, go to www.mcchris.com You can listen to it for free, but be warned the it's not censored like the re-mix version.

It was Star Wars galaxies, and it's a good online game. Only problem is you gotta pay as you play.... Anyone know what the subscription fees are?
