:p i wasn't talking about the book there...i meant it was a new and fresh way for a movie to look at an alien invasion, whether the book was written over a hundred years ago or not. they could have turned it into another Independence Day with fighter pilots and bombers, but they didn't.

yes, you're SO much older than all of us.

i read the book. it wasn't very good. more like a boring scientific history than anything. Wells was a creative guy and for someone in the 19th century he sure thought up some crazy machines, but he forgot to add character and humanity into his book.

Yeah the DVD is out already. Long John Silver got me an advance copy. Cool movie (the first part anyway, haven't finished it yet).
