These are really cool! :) I like that you’ve used the lyrics from the musical on bases from the movie! :) I’m not taking any at the moment but I’ll comment & give credit if I do! :) Keep up the good work! :)

Oooh! The musical always gave me the creeps! My family listens to it every Halloween for about the past 10 years (since my brother found it on CD). And the movie was one of the best suspense films in a long time! Great icons! Took 1 and 7.

There’s a musical?! I must know of this! I got strange broadway scenes of the aliens all dancing in a chorus line singing, to the tune of Memory “Earthlings, we have blown up your buildings, and have killed many beings, because we don’t like youuuuu, just your planet because it has natural resources for us! Thanks for trying. We stil win!” Wow I need coffee….

It would be interesting to see a Broadway musical of War of the Worlds, but I meant this musical version of War of the Worlds from the 70s (done by various rock artists). It is very creepy to listen to in the dark! Very creepy!

*laughs* That makes way more sense. I just couldn’t see WotW being successful at all as a stage performance.

Yeah… I suppose it might be hard to get the tripods to function correctly during a performance, no matter how you make them, to have them seem plausible. :) If you’re interested, my brother is lending me his copy of the CD (so I can put it on my Itunes and Ipod) and if I can figure it out, I can put a song on You Send It if you want to hear what the musical version sounds like sounds like.

I wrote it pre-coffee and was feeling quite odd. Glad it was amusing! ^_^

I still haven’t seen it. My sister went with her mate and hated it, but then a girl at work told me it was fantastic, so I don’t know what to think. Is it a marmite kind of thing? ;) I’ll watch it one day and make up my own mind. :D

See, I loved the book. For having been written in the 1800’s it was extremely creepy (especially the cellar scene). The movie was creepy and suspenseful, but so much was changed that my little continuity radar went off. I ended up seeing the little girl as the hero because Tom’s character was so frustrating. he kept leaving his kids and saying ‘wait here, i’ll go get help’ while monstrous machines are bearing down on them. In the book, it was just him. His family had all left and he was all alone. In the cellar scene (my favourite) the tentacle thing is bearing down on him so he buries himself in the coal pile. The tentacle reaches down and touches his boot, but mostly ignores him. Also the aliens did the whole bloodsucking thing one on one which is far creepier than having it all happen by automation Ok I’ll stop there. I’ve probably spoilt the whole thing…well, not really. I’ve spoilt the book, but the movie is so different, it’s ok.

Now I think about, it probably is a marmite thing…virtually everyone I’ve talked to either loved or hated it. I love it because it scared the hell out of me in a omgtheymadethisseemplausible sort of way. ;)
