BEWARE! The Phantom Menace trailer looked good too.....

I hope it's good. I'll watch this trailer when I get home.

You can't go far wrong with Spielberg.

I didn't like AI.

BUT he did make great films in the beginning of his career.
Duel was awesome.

Oh and I hated The Terminal. I still haven't forgiven my
girlfriend for making me see that.

Hook sucked.
Always was awful too!

He did however do an episode of Colombo if my memory serves
me right.

Never seen Hook, but I'll give the others 4/5.

If I'd spent less time thinking I would've seen you'd posted
Hook.

Either way Mr Brusca. War of the Worlds could very welll be
great and I look forward to seeing the trailer :)

I would also like to see patricia potter do full nudity.

but seriously, he has made some great films.

problem with "war of the worlds" is that it isn't that great
a story - but maybe they have spruced it up a bit.

Hopefully something better then the common cold ending.

Maybe, Heroin.

I would like her to do that as well. I would also like to
marry Katie Holmes, but the chances of either of them
happening are remote.

However, here is a RealMedia clip of Tish down to her
undies.

actually, I don't see what's so fantastic about this
either.

it's just a general summer-blockbuster trailer.

i don't know, it reminds me of ID4 which isn't a good thing
at all. Also if they change the ending from the book and
first film to satisfy the masses its going to suck.

If its an America saves the planet ending this will go
completely against what the film is about!

of course no-one knows how the ending will turn out in this
version, i'll try to keep an open mind but i'm not too
optimistic. Could have done with a different director for a
start.

at least Spielberg is finally beginning to get away from all
the oscar-bait message movies he was stuck on for years.
The Minority Report was excellent up until the last 15
minutes or so. Catch Me if You Can was good if accepted as
nothing but a popcorn movie. He handled the balance between
CGI and realism in A.I. and TMR exceptionally well. I trust
that War of the Worlds will at the very least be technically
masterful.

it will be visually intresting.

I dont like mr burgs "lets bring the baby out over my
sholder and look like a wholesome american family" style of
things. Or stupid silly/funny bits that just make it cheesy
as shit, like the burger burning in TMR, and otherwise very
good film.

Hopefully this film will be good, i am looking forward to
it.

thank you kindly. it seems this was posted just as i left
town for the weekend.

Not sure what to think about this. I've not been very
impressed with speilberg's more recent stuff, and AI was
probably one of the more disappointing films of my life...
so much potential, and such a horribly terrible execution.

when speilberg doesn't try to inject really forced emotional
crap into his films he's pretty good.

technically, quicktime can't be downloaded seperately
anymore - it's been integrated into iTunes.

on the other hand, why use quicktime when there is quick
alternative?

Yeah it is remeniscant of Independence Day.

Also if they change the ending from the book and

Don't know why but that reminds me of LOTR:ROTK.

shamelessly cashing in on this apparent hype, i would
hereby like to present to you my two year old ode to
war of the worlds. it is the second track on my site and it
features the same speech used here, except it is taken from
the original audio cd (which has a great soundtrack).

hope it's going to be a good film. of course the story is
shabby. remember it was (one of) the first books about life
on other planets.

Everything about that trailer was terrible. The voice over
was distracting and hokey, and the overall style of the film
is obviously typical Spielberg glitz. Science Fiction is
getting its ass kicked by Hollywood right now with the
travesty that is "I Robot" and now "The War of The Worlds".

Why oh why does the hero always have to be a fuckin good
looking American dipshit? For once, can they not be an
Honduran cattle farmer, or a Hungarian bank clerk. Fuck
Hollywood and their so called "entertainment". This species
has amused itself to death!!!

your 'still' not bored of special effects yet.

I'm not bored of special effects. I'm bored of seeing the
same old crap generated on a computer and billed as special
effects. They were only special the first time. I'm quite
sure you meant the same thing.

It needs more british..ness and the 19th century setting of
the book/soundtrack by Jeff Wayne.

I quite liked the story, so I will most likely at least
download this.
