The chances of anything coming from Mars are a million to one, he said!

indeed, but i can still hope ^^

and you've heard the musical version!! awsome

Heard it! I went to see it at Wembley a few years ago! LOVE it so much! I wanted to go again last month but the tickets sell out FAST (like, 10 months in advance all the good ones were gone!) - maybe next time. I just LOVE the book and musical! (Not so much the movies...)

awsome, my parents went, I'm still annoyed they didn't take me! the one they saw is out on DVD now though. might just have to get it.

That's the show I went to! Small world. :D

haha, yeah.

"I shall destroy them with my prayers. I shall burn them with my holy cross. I shall... try to convince them to set the next film version in the proper 1890s timeframe and film it in and around Woking."
Actually, there IS such a film version... but it looks like it was shot on a budget of $7.50 and the British accents are AWFUL ( you can find it on Amazon if you poke around a bit ).

Nice pic - you scared those Fighting Machines good.

haha awsome. I may have to see it, just for my cult style following of this story ^^; and yes, I would want to be a film diretor just to make this as it's meant to be!! (on a decent budget hhe)

"the Good Lord made many ungainly looking creatures in this world, but do you know why he didn't make any of them Three Legged?" (Edgar Hyde from the second volume of "The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen.")

why didn't he?

Shoot. There I go assuming again that anyone who knows of Martian Tripods has read the second Volume of "The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen." Set in late Victorian Era London, the "Steampunk" style comic's version of Mister Hyde takes on an invading Martian War machine single handedly. The Martian is at a disadvantage as it knows if it shoots the man, it risks blowing it's own foot off. With that, Hyde topples the giant tripod, then proceededs to bare handedly tear the invader inside apart. The accompanying war machines in turn incinerate their comrade, and Mr. Hyde, but the ruse gives the humans time to set up and launch their "Anti-Martian" weapon.

ah right ok. i have to say the film put me off that series.

that was an awesome book!
the new film was pretty crap, though; 1 1/2 hours of tom cruise running round shouting "Rachael!"

yeah, the addition of children was my ,main problem with it actually.

PLUS the new film was set in America rather than London!
stupid Spielberg!
