seems the USA has a stealth fighter that needs no pilot and it gets itself into a bit of a problem.....

Shocking.
Does that make it a bolter?
Waste of celluloid.... it'll probably be the summer's hot hit. Sad world we live in, isn' it?

well it could be worse, as Patton said, we could be shoveling s*it in Louisiana.

Well maybe we'll get a charge out of it.
And when was the last time you were in a movie theatre? Let's see, I've got $8. I can see some overhyped POS and feel cheated one hour into a three hour show, or I can go to K-Mart and buy the DVD of "Rio Bravo". Tough choice.
there are exceptions. i never thought i would live long enough to see lord of the rings made into 3 quality movies.
And it shows, news paper article the other day said movie attendance is way down. Might send them a message. I can't get enthused over this re-make of War of the Worlds at all.

As far as I am concerned they will never beat the 1953 movie. Having said that, I re-read the HG Wells novel a couple of months ago and it has to be one of the best (and scariest) science fiction novels ever - despite being over one hundred years old!
I do hope you purchased the extended versions. These should be "must haves" for all modelers, especially those with even the most casual interest in figures. The "extras" on the DVD's include *extensive* photo galleries of the weapons, costumes, etc...in full close-up detail.
And even though the subject matter is fiction...the extra documentaries realy explain well, the "frame of mind" that Jackson and Company had when making the film --- to make it look like it *could* have happened. Careful thought was put into color choices, material choices, etc., as well as trying to develop a back-story, to fit this "could'a happened" philosophy. Thought processes that have applications and uses in our hobby.
One story note....the "new" scene in "The Two Towers" ("Sons of the Steward"), is alone, worth the purchase price of the extended DVD!
:o)
pd. $9.25 to see War of the Worlds.....

Geez, my wife bought tickets at Costco for $4, supposed to be good at any Regal. Probably see it tommorrow.

Funny...the *one* actor, in that film, who actually looked (as well as behaved) like the average military aviator, was that great, but under-appreciated, Michael Ironside.
I hit he local Loew's this evening, girlfriend wanted to see it. two tickets cost $16.00. Waste of money in my opinion, but she likes anything with, as she describes it, "lots of action".
