HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
HAILTHETRIPOD, you are a poet with words - very visual and I could imagine the lot.
Since you have supported Pendragon (like myself) then it is said in jest and harmless fun - but I agree with you entirely and your views.
Pendragon even have a poster ready so I don't understand what is going on! I will, of course, buy the DVD if it is released but I'm not very impressed with the silence ... and we're not enjoying it, either!

But a lot of them get one screening and then go on the director's shelf, never to be seen again.
I think that's going to upset a lot of people here if it's true: I don't remember a lot of gore, nudity and gratuitous lesbian sex in Wells' novel.
And that, of course is why low-budget horror films sell: people are willing to spend $1 to rent a crappy movie with blood, sex and nudity, whereas not many are willing to spend that much to rent a crappy victorian science-fiction movie.

What get me is that out of all the film, it was the portrayal of Olgivy I was looking forward to the most. I wonder how the actors, the extras and so forth must be feeling at htis point. Their careers in possible tatters becasue there is a strong possibilty this is the film that will never be.
Why so much damn work and nothng I ask you, what wasd the bloody point? We told him, we told him, don't rush it, don't make promises you can't keep, and don't don't ever make excuses that blame something else for your problems.
Geez, some lessosn have to be learned the hard way, but this may be the final lesson that won't do Hine's any favours unless he comes clean now.
I know your reading this, Pendragon.
NEWS, NEWS, NEWS!
Despite what they say, no news is not good news, espescially in this case. The more you hold back, the less likely anything you say is going to be belivable or hold any plausibility.

[glow=purple,2,300]Well thank you! I'm glad I put a smile on your face!
We may be ridiculed for our support of this movie, but we can also laugh at ourselves and the situation. Others are laughing at us, so let's make it so they laugh with us instead, rather than getting all het up. [/glow]

"Even a low budget horror has a core audience, but there is a limit to how bad it can get before its just ridiculous."
Exactly. A great many low budget horror films turn out so bad they go straight to DVD. As a matter of fact, bad horror films that never got a theatrical release are one of the major items in the "Straight to DVD" inventory.
I guarantee you, if Hines could not show any better footage to potential threatrical distributors then what he put up on line, there is no way in hell any distriubtor would touch it. The Acting alone would rule it out.
"Just as likely is the possibility that film distributors refused to touch the film because they didn't want to risk the ire of Paramount. "
Blame Paramount, Blame Speilberg, Blame the Distriubtors, blame everybody except Tim Hines for the Fiasco that his WOTW has become.Sadly, this seems to have become the last defense of the die hard Pendragon loyalists.

I said i would stick with PP to the last. Now i give up. But: For those who can be bothered or are a bit interested, check out the International Movie Database. Under War of the Worlds 2005/II, there is an update. A new theatrical poster. Bit cheesey but check it out anyhoo.

Meanwhile Jeff Wayne has released some graphics of the Martian Handling Machine in his CGI film of his musical. Great Looking Stuff. The comparasion between Wayne and Hines is night and day. BTW the poster looks cheesy, and I have a feeling it will end up on the back of a DVD cover.

Clearly the members of the "Anti-Hines Brigade" are in serious denial. That's an absolutely fabulous poster!
I knew it was only a matter of time before the AHB was shown to be absolutely stuffed full of wild blueberry muffins. ;D
NYAH NYAH NYAH NYAH NYAH!!
There, I can be *almost* as childish as they are if I try hard enuff.

AAAAHHAHAHAHAHAH!!! ;D You buzzing your tits off over a lame goz eyed martian!!!! Mug!

In fact it might get cult status as one of the worst films ever made.

Right I feel I have to clear something up with Ashe raven as a thread has been locked.
Ashe, cast you mind back a few months to before the trailer from PP, I was one of the biggest supporters, but my eyes are wide open, I see things clearly and not clouded by my own desire to see a faithful adaptation of the book that I hold so dearly. This film is not it, not by any standards. I am not alone in my views, likw McTodd said in another thread if it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck and swims like a duck then its probably a duck, this whole adventure stinks, if it looks crap, sounds crap and is distributed as crap then its probably crap.
Just remember I didnt start out with these views, it was Pendragon and Hines who turned me to the dark side.
Thank you.
