hellboy900 · May 11, 2005

Yeah but what does the thing in the Background remind you of?

Reminds me of a strider!

Jintor · May 11, 2005

It looks like a garbage bin on legs.

And striders were modeled on the descritpion in war of the worlds, IIRC.

How dare you, you little Nord gay bitch ?

I'm reporting you for .... hmmm.... can it be called extreme nationalism ?

War of the Worlds was quality, the well known story about it was that it was broadcast on the radio, and people thought it was real who tuned in half way through and shit themselves thinking an invasion had begun. But that was a long time ago, you can buy the sound track to it though, i loved it! The chances from anyone coming from Mars is a million to one! ahhh good times.

"Hello, my name is The Green Bunny, I oftern dislike films such as War of the worlds, lord of the rings, harry potter, hitch hikers guide, and other films based on a book, as Im an elitist idiot who doesnt know how to make a good film. you see I fail to understand that any of these books put onto film page-to-page would be an awfull film. People go to see films because they love films, not because they want to read a book. Any normall person wouldnt say the shit that I do, but go out and read the book in question, and not whine about somthing being made for a totally different viewers."

>_>

On the topic of the picture it looks fake. 1 second job in ms paint.

Have you seen it? NO is the correct answer to that.
So dont judge a movie before its out.

On topic: Its totally fake, look at the lines and pieces around tom cruise and the girl...
Learn your ms paint / photoshop plz

KoreBolteR · May 11, 2005

i can see a hint of a strider in it..

xLostx · May 11, 2005

I hope to god you made this pic yourself lol

kirovman · May 11, 2005

Meh. Everyone knows HL2 strider was inspired by the War of the Worlds tripods.

Here's a 70s rendition of it:

But HG Wells wrote his book about the tripods back in 1890s.

As long as this movie is better than the last one.

Wow, GreenBunny, is that you?

The 3 legged Chappy in the background reminds me of a Strider.

All the thread hijackers and spammers need to be banned. :angry:

Farrowlesparrow · May 11, 2005

Makes me think of halo...Seriously that main body of the tripod reminds me of the helmets.

Burn · May 11, 2005

The picture looks awefull. I so hope they dont use the tv shows look and go with the tripod one. *Trys to dig up a picture of said tripod*

Awesome? I think so.

Haha, you're assuming a lot of stupidity there. I loved the LotR movies, bought all extended editions. Harry potter I couldn't care less about, never touched the books. Hitch Hiker's Guide movie I'm cautiously optimistic about despite reading some negative comments.

This movie though, sounds like such a complete hollywoodification of the book that it just hurts. Tom Cruise? It's set in the US instead of England? Sounds pretty lame to me. So in my opinion, gathered from the information I've had access to, it will suck. May I have to revise my opinion after seeing it? Sure. Should anyone give a shit about my opinion? No. Do I deserve to get pushed into the category of book-worshipping whiners? No.

"Hello, my name is Ritz. I enjoy putting people in boxes based on one post and proceeding to flame them based on characteristics of other people because hey, they're all the same, right? Then I will jabber on about books not being movies and other stuff Captain Obvious whispers in my ear. Any normal person would at least attempt not to be a complete bitch, but this is the internet after all. Thanks for watching!"

<_<

<RJMC> · May 11, 2005

please tell me that pic is fake

Burn · May 11, 2005

I dont give a shit what films you have and have not seen, naw which of thoses you liked or disliked, I was pointing out you coming in here and saying the oh-so-smart "Gonna suck cus like, the books good" was just plain stupid. And for someone who is not a "Book-worshipping whiner" you sure did just go on about how there ruining it.

Fine, I stated my opinion, clarified it and pointed out how your little impersonation was a load of bullshit. I don't think I even need to say that I never used the quality of the book as reason for the movie sucking, anyone with basic reading skills can see I didn't. And for someone who doesn't give a shit about what films I like you sure care a lot about my comments on this one.

marksmanHL2 :) · May 11, 2005

I saw the trailer for this film in the cinema the other day..

Looks pretty impressive in terms of special effects at least.

Might turn out good..... you never know.. lol
