There is a literary and legal term for what SS and TC are doing to HG's work.It is called bastardization. ClaytonForrester. i have used that same word many times on these boards to describe what SS is doing to Wells' novel. you hit it right on the head there.

why do you guys insist on making personal jibes? forgive me, but it makes you look stupid, and it elicits more negative response. plus, the mods have asked us over and over to refrain from such. so why keep doing it?

Like ForrestGump calling Cruise and Spielberg "arrogant bastards" you mean? why would you even take a comment like that personally to begin with? is it up to you to defend cruise and spielbergs personal reputations? so, its ok to personally attack a member of the boards because he expresses his opinion about cruise and spielberg? clayforrester wasn't attacking anyone on the boards. anyone who resorts to attacking board members based on their personal opinions about the MOVIES or the ACTORS or the DIRECTORS is crossing the line and needs to just f'ing grow up.

All the same .. we have all assumed names to use on this board and manipulating those names CAN cause offence. Please think carefully before doing so.... That's all I'm saying..

Frankly,I'm surprised as hell that of all people,You the British arent raising a huge stink over the way that SS is ripping off one of the hallmark Sci-fi stories in UK history.Is it just that as audiences go we have all become so deperate for anything associated with classic SF that we will settle for any drivel that ANYONE does?I would have expected the Wells estate to issue a cease and desist at some point,at least if Wells's descendant had some respect for their ancestor.

ClaytonForrester. Just because i live in Woking UK and can see Horsell Common and HG's House everyday does that mean i HAVE to automatically hate the Spielberg project? No i dont hate it in fact apart from the jeff wayne project the one i have most faith in is the SS project. PS: for your info the chap Simon Wells who directed the modern Time Machine movie and is HG's grandson is involved with the new SS project. Does that make him insulting to his family name? Its called free will mate, live with it or go hide on an island away from society so you wont have to put up with it. Last time i looked we lived in a democracy and Hitler didnt conquer us 60 odd years ago. Christ you talk more crap than Malfy and im being generous. If you really hate what they are doing that much why don't you go to Paramount central offices with a belt full of C4 and an Uzi. Blowing stuff up seems to be all the rage nowadays if you dont like something.

Someone else said that Clayton is starting to look like a 'troll' and it's looking to be the case. If that post had any other purpose than to piss people off, I don't know what it is.

Why should any one 'raise a huge stink?' I certainly think it's way too early to classify ANY of these movies as a 'rip off', being as none of them has been released yet, therefore no one here has seen them. Besides which, there really isn't any point in getting so upset about these things. It's counter productive, won't change anything and just ends up winding other posters up. At the end of the day, our favourite novel is being adapted, in different ways, for some movies. If you don't like what's being done you can always vote with your feet when the release dates come. The novel will still exist, and that will always be the main thing.

I hope so nerfy, these last couple of threads have seemed a bit pointless really since they just degenerated into slanging matches
