Say what you want about this film. It’s still true. Mr. Spielberg casts really great child actors.
And this is where the characters that we already dislike meet the unwashed masses, thereby making us wish that all humanity would die.
And seriously, these are the only people with a gun? In America?
And then casts them as horrible characters. 
The train bit was a really great touch. Everyone is in shock, everyone. I remember that feeling and lookinig at the faces of the people around me as I walked across the Queensboro bridge.
OK, the thing with the train was pretty awesome.
Terrible. I meant it was pretty terrible.
And awesome. 
You don’t wanna be on that ferry.
Badger and I have the best plan. Hide in the basement.
The call of the tripods reminds me of the probe from the Whale Federation. 
They do a great job. You really don’t like them.
Unlike Jake Lloyd, who you’re supposed to like but wish would go away.
You do not want to incur the wrath of the Whale Federation.
I love how the soldiers holding back the crowd don’t question that they’re being left behind to die. Somehow, I doubt that even National Guard training can completely remove all sense of self-preservation.

Seriously. All that running, and y’all are still gonna die. tsk, tsk
Another thing that makes no sense. If the aliens need human blood, why are they vaporizing every human they see?
Awww, the military. They try. They really do.
Six billion. Plenty to go around.
It’s the thot that counts.
This is the part of the film where it all really goes south for me. Robbie running away. Tom leaving Dakota alone. And now Tim Robbins. Ugh!
What did Tim Robbins ever do to you? :rolleyes:
I can’t believe he’d let Robbie go. “I have to see this.” Um, no. You’re a stupid kid. Shut your mouth and run. And telling Rachel to “stay right here”? That doesn’t work in a department store, why would it work in the middle of a battlefield?
Thanx for the news update, Mr. Sanity.
You know, I just had a disturbing thot.
Tim Robbins, hiding in the basement.
That’s us. :eek:
It just doesn’t let up. The aliens, humanity, and now the crazy.
Nope. He’s got a PLAN.
