The War of the Worlds (1953) 1/7 @ 10 PM ET

This is the coolest part. The aliens’ vessels destroying the city.

They use this footage in the film ‘Explorers’. You’ve had to have seen that. I love that film.

Same reaction as the zombie apocalypse: settle in and wait for it to blow over.

Not a great plan, but realistically, what else could I do?

Strange but I feel the same way. I think I’d check outside for the hysteria, just for the entertainment value.

I’m out of sync. Is he in the church yet?

Great movie. Love it.

Somebody had a little too much human blood.

Crazy drunk-driving aliens.

Yes. Sylvia now safe in his arms. Awwww.

See that. Don’t mess with God’s house. As soon as they blew up the church, the ship went down.

Too risky. Crazed mob stealing food and water is almost as bad as zombies or aliens.

Seriously, though, what other options are there? Just throwing your life away is silly, as is attempting to fight an implacable foe. And cowering in a church, waiting for death, just seems a bit absurd to me.

And I’m sure that’s the first church they attacked on the entire planet. :rolleyes:

Amen.

New Geek Deathmatch: God’s wisdom VS. Alien invasion.

When I was a kid, the weak little Martian arm, desperately reaching for safety, always made me sad. Sure, they were slaughtering humanity, but to die like that was just awful. :frowning:

Bah. It just strikes me like football teams praying before a game.

Whichever team prays the hardest wins, while God forsakes the other?

Can’t agree with ya. Nasty frakker, good riddance. That being said, I ain’t too keen on any invasion. Stoopid humans start poking around other people’s turf doesn’t sit well with me either.

I know. I wish once Costas would ask, “So God didn’t like the other team?” Just to see the expression on the athlete’s face. You know something they should ask Joe Namath to do interviews after the game. He’d ask.

Anyway, praying for good fortune is a no-brainer. If I were interviewing I’d say, “But didn’t your Lord and Savior tell you to pray for you enemies? You shoulda been praying for the other team ya selfish prig.”

Think of it from their POV. You move into a new house, and it’s infested with roaches. Of course you’re going to kill them all.

Now think of it from the roaches’ POV. :eek:

Not to mention that the “Prince of Peace” probably isn’t a fan of competition in general. :slight_smile:

BTW, I watched the last part of the movie on YouTube, and the playlist moved right into THEM! afterward. I’m really trying not to get hooked into watching it right now, but this is another old movie that I just love.

Please tell me you’ve seen it. :rolleyes:

Yeah I see your point. Buggers.

Nope. Haven’t seen it. Well, I’ve seen bits of it. But not from start to finish.

Now you have no excuse. That link is the entire movie, in ten parts.
