I never said that
but still, they come!
and believe me, my boyfriend sure did.
the CGI still holds up incredibly well in that scene
hell yeah
Dunny how that film was so "meh" despite having some kino parts.
i saw this movie on shrooms with buddies and we would crack the fuck up whenever we saw a close up tom's face
The only part that's arguably not really really good is the very final seconds when he gets to the ex's house and his son is there and everything is squeaky clean and okay.
A couple months after I saw this, late one night I heard this really fucking loud horn that was really similar to the tripod horn calls and it freaked me the fuck out.
not bad for 14 years ago
visual affects were better today than they are now. We've regressed
Martian fucking digits my man.
SO LONG THUNDER....CHIIIIIIIIIIILD
The musical soundtrack is kind of an insane listen. It has this trance like quality where the lyrics and riffs are repeated over and over. The alien speech. The mechanical sounds. It's like insane Dr. Seuss combobulation. I listen to the whole thing at least once a year after getting in a good headspace. Just imagining the slow invasion, the black smoke, the Martian flora beginning to choke, the effects of the invisible heat rays. Running on a dock after a fleeing steamship. The grip of madness among the ruins of London. Just fantastic. Competes easily with "Tommy" and other rock operas.
My dad had the whole thing on LP but that's just so inconvenient, so bless you, RunescapeGuyAH5676, for uploading the whole thing to youtube a decade ago.
Though it kind of ruined the movie for me. Richard Burton's narration's so fucking great, when they had that shriveled up prune Freeman replace it for the movie, it instantly turned me off right at the opening.
>not just getting the cds
how about when the son would bitch and act angsty? i enjoyed that
They did a remake, too, and Liam Neeson is the Narrator, but even he can't hold a candle to Burton.
>better today
>than they are now
ULLLAAAAAA
Why oh why did they have to have the kids in that movie? They ruined it. It should have been Cruise trying to get to his kids or something.
you know those people who say that they think it would be "arrogant to assume that out of all the planets in the universe we are the only one with intelligent life"
I don't like those people. It's such a copout answer. You can just tell even when they say it, they say it like they're reading from a script. They don't believe it, they're just trying to convince themselves they believe it.
The problem with the movies is they all miss a thunder child scene. You need something to show the humans have some hope then crush it utterly
It's not impossible. But they would be so far away we would never reach each other so it may as well be
The military scene serves the same purpose of demonstrating that even the peak of our military might is nothing against the invaders.
The summer sun is fading as the year grows old
And darker days are drawing near
The winter winds will be much colder
Now you're not here
:(
Why was there a river full of corpses
The truth is, the formation of life from nonlife has never been observed, and is statistically an unlikely, perhaps impossible, phenomenon.
In the world of empirical fact, the known density of solar systems with intelligent life is one per universe.
It's impossible to make a reasonable suggestion that life outside or not originating from Earth exists, because no such case has been found, and thus no known way of determining the formation of life on a universal level exists.
Our modern view in the general public, regarding the Cosmos, is improper and unscientific, I would argue, because the layman, even those turned "informed," is more influenced by artists impressions and CGI sketches than by the very tricky to learn and intensive mathematics astronomers and physicists use, underlying their proofs.
Any news on the BBC adaptation of the book?

If the conditions are right some form of life will form itself, it's inevitable.
You have no comprehension of how big the universe is and how many galaxies there are. You might read it on wiki, but you are a brainlet that doesn't understand.
Anyone else think the latter half of that album isn't as good? No Nathaniel is a banger, but the rest? Eh.
I know a planet that has the right conditions and hasn't had life spring up on it.
so basically you're wrong you dumb piece of shit
>spacefaring advanced aliens
>zero bio-security
worked in the 50s , modern audiences are a tougher sell
Which planet?
Earth? Are we secretly not even alive?
No. It's a billion to one.
And your pic isn't from mars either
They should modernize it and make wifi disrupt their machines.
i would only accept a remake if it was an adaption of jeff waynes version.
Yes, it's earth. Obviously, we have the right conditions, and yet, strangely, life hasn't been springing up here every other year like it should.
very peculiar
Are you really this fucking dumb?
Current conditions aren't ANYWHERE close to the conditions that sprang life on our planet.
Can you give some example so I can evaluate their acting?
5g fries all the ayy brains

Why is it that shit like ghost movies don't do anything to me but shit that has aliens doing stuff to people always makes my stomach churn?
You assume the universe actually adheres to those mathematical models. We have no idea what the conditions are actually like in other galaxies.
Because aliens are physical and not impossible.
observe these digits.
I know it's happened in a few shows. I think Dr. House said it once. Probably Sherlock too. Any show with a misanthropic atheist character should have that line. big bang theory.
Wasn't there an episode of House where a kid thought he saw aliens?
yeah they are.
lol, dabbed
Alien invasions as depicted in alien invasion stories are as likely as ghosts and demons.
Alright, I got it, and it's almost word for word what I said. go to minute 7:30
This scene has hands down the best sound design I've ever seen on an alien invader movie
It's one thing for some slime to grow, it's another for it to lead to an intelligent space faring civ
If you want to watch an hour video about why there might or might not be any aliens, science Elmer Fudd will explain
youtube.com
I think that guys point was that you don't need to delve into the supernatural to induce aliens
You obviously don't understand basic empirical observation principles. Given that,
1. Life forming is not observed as a phenomenon,
2. There is no known life outside of our solar system,
the size of the universe is wholly irrelevant to the likelihood of life outside of Earth and Sol. In order to understand or even guess the "density," the occurrence of life per galaxy, star cluster, or any such unit in the universe, we would need to know the total observed instances of life per such a unit. Except there is none yet. And there's no way of knowing that there will be. What you have is pure conjecture.
That's a strange understanding. While mathematical models change, it follows we must be beholden to the same kinds of physical laws as the rest of the universe, if we're to attempt to study it.
>he died and was in heaven
>nothing against the invaders
Not the point: making the Martians unassailable just puts them in the category of space magic. You need them to have a little give, and a top of the line ship making to wreck one before going down makes them more realistic whole still overwhelming.
So far they literally showed 2 seconds of footage
youtube.com
Why does Yea Forums suck this movie off so much? Is it actually good?
Thats spielberg for you though
I was kinda expecting the martian walker to look like how it was described in the book but whatever.
It is good.
user..
the tripod horn might be the best sound ever put in a movie
Alright well I'll go watch it and it better be the coolest shit
Note that while most of the characters are fine, the children characters are insufferable
they should make it so we should just flat out lose. no one would buy the "space baddies forgot about germs" thing anymore than the shit at the end of independunce day when geoff goldstien says lets give them a virus.
this would be cool. have them drop a nuke on them instead. then we cant use nukes anymore because their all in our cities n shieet.
deep ocean volcanic vents are still an excellent place for new life to form
it cant however since the chain of amino acids needed to form a rudimentary cell probably wouldnt form due to other life in the area
yiu are actually a brainlet despite the big words and reddit spacing. the probabilities and prerequisies to forming an Earth-like planet and formation of life for no life (anorganic to organic molecule transformation has been done a long time ago) are known
there are definitely manyblank space vut just because there we never saw a life forming (and how the fuck could we?) and because we haven't find any yet is by no fuking means an EVIDENCE for us being the only planet with life in the entire universe with billions of galaxies.
The probabilities despite how unprobable they are are in fact almost 100% because of how extremely fucking BIG the space is.
I agree laymen public definitely doesnt grasp the mathematics behind these calculatilns but ask any astrologist what they think and they'll tell you the same thing. Just because you don't know what exactly goes on you can rightly assume cells divide for example, everyone knows that but te fact viikogist know exactly how this occures that the general oublic is wrong to assume that.
BASED TRIPS GUY
exactly right
lol how fast is your heart beating
Last time I watched this kino I'd matched with some 9/10 Chinese girl on Chinese tinder in Beijing and she took me back to her apartment in Beijing that her rich parents had bought for her and she bought me beer and vodka and we ordered fried chicken and watched this movie. Good times.
He meant today back then
Did you give her the fucc
i don't understand. Didn't the Washington post have a video released by the pentagon of a f-16 chasing a physics defying fleet of UFOs like 2 years ago? Why do people just ignore this
The old succ and fucc
Niggers
This girl is making my fucking ears bleed
Her random screeches are so misplaced that they make me crack up
Other than that it's been good so far
Yeah I see it now. He is insufferable. The whole thing makes you think the writer is a jerk
There is this insufferable air surrounding the good mad scientist in sci-fi genre
Watching this for the first time with about 20 minutes left, the kids are annoying but this is fucking kino purely based on all of the haunting imagery.
Absolute madman just comes up, gets his own musical number and just fucking dies once it’s over
