So Pete comes home from a meeting this afternoon and says;
"Let's go to the movies later."
I say; "OK."
He says; "I want to see War of the Worlds.
I say; "I don't want to see that movie. It will be too scary."
Pete says; "Judi, it's science fiction! You'll love it."
I say; "Let's go see a comedy instead."
Pete ignores what I just said.
Pete has to finish something before we head out
While I'm waiting, our friend, Jim, calls.
I tell him that Pete wants to go out to see "War of the Worlds"
Jim tells me that he saw it earlier this week.
I ask Jim; "Is it scary?"
Jim says; "No, it isn't scary." "It was beautiful."
He liked the special effects.
Jim adds; "You love science fiction, Judi."
"You will love this movie."
Can't believe these guys.
My heart is pounding and I am still trying to exhale!
WAR OF THE WORLDS IS SCARY AS HELL!
Scary as it may be, you have to admit that it is a quality FILM. Sci-fi movies are too often nothing more than excuses to show over-produced special effects (Independence Day, Armageddon). But War of the Worlds actually focuses on the characters, not the laser beams.
Posted by: Mister P. at July 22, 2005 1:06 PMFunny that you say that.
I wonder if it is a gender thing.
The women I talked to thought it was all special effects and thin on story.
I rather agreed with them.
Maybe my heart was just beating too hard to see what you saw. :-)
