"YOU'LL ONLY SEE THIS ON FOX! REMEMBER! WE"LL SHOW YOU THE FIRST FOOTAGE OF THE ACTAUL ALIWHOOOZ!!' Been done. 1938 Orson Welles. "so is Speilberg going to do away with all the available weaponry in the world " Probably some kind of energy shield for the tripods, taking a page from the 1953 version where they had the same problem:Even back in 1953 a modern army would have made mincemeat out of the Martians without the shield gimmick. Not a big problem. The Black Smoke was Welles at his most brilliant as a prophet: Within 16 years that became a reality in World War One.

I wouldn't mind Geraldo being in the movie at all. Provided he gets torched by a Heat-Ray, that is!

Would you get a kick out of it because you would find it funny or would you like it because you want this film to fail the same way ID4 did so in some wierd way you would be able to detach this movie from WOTW mentaly?

more then likely Jerry Springer will have a cameo appearance in the film ..just to give the audience something they recognise...cos they sure as hell won't recognise the book and to maintain the tackiness factor, The Rock will play a small part in kicking some martian butt ...just to give the audience something to cheer about... Wouldn't want a bunch of unknowns in the film would we ..got to give the audience something to relate to .. (kid in cinema - paramout version) "ooh Tom cruise is being chased by that alien fingamebob with one leg missing ...mum .. why has that alien robot only got 3 legs...and When does it transform into a plane or boat like the ones I have at home "Mum mum ...I SAW THE ROCK .....yeeeah The Rock OMG , AND GERRY SPRINGER YEEEAH this is worth the price of the ticket alone TC and The Rock busting alien Robot fings with 3 legs"

We have a vast amount of weaponry
so..WE are under invasion ...we have hundreds, if not thousands of tanks for example , not to mention all the other weaponry ... OF COURSE we are gonna use them
We have rockets, rpgs etc the martians would be hit from allsides
You simply cannot say by some martian miracle all our weapons simply disappear or become inoperable
there are storage dumps full of weapons/ tanks etc
Yes ..we would use mines, grenades stickybombs , we could even load vans up with explosives like terrorists and blow martians up... there is simply too many ways to win in our modern world

TOMOHAWK, your talking about a war between men, but war of the worlds isnt realy a war its more an exercise in extermination and gathering the herd than actualy fighting, with all the weapons we have we still struggle to fight each other, how are we supposed to fair against an alien force more advanced than us that percieve us as cattle?

Saluting George Dubya as he goes past. And don't forget Cruises special Xray glasses that he's secretly been developing in his cellar for the past few years - that can read the Martians [ or not Martians in Spielbergs case ] minds.

Yeah cause all Spielberg makes is patriotic cornball eye candy innit? I was well jolly after seeing Schindlers List, Saving Private Ryan and all that wonderful upbeat slapstick sight gags in Minority Report.

Pathetic human heroism in the face of an Overwhelming Force - Perfect.
