Got a tall building you can jump off of when you hear the Martians are invading?
;)
LMFAO. I know. How stupid could people really be? The stories of the hysteria that shit caused is hilarious.
Was WELLS still alive when that was broadcast? I would imagine no fucking way.

They kinda changed it from the original novel in that they decided to make it sound like a real radio broadcast...thus millions thought they were listening to the real thing....

Welles didn't die until the mid-eighties. He recorded narratives for two Manowar songs - Dark Avenger and Defender - and their intro "Ladies and Gentlemen... from the United States of America... all hail... MANOWAR!"
But he was probably already in a wheelchair, then... or got in a wheelchair righ after...
Cheers! :bottle:

H.G. Wells died in 1946. I just looked it up.
Shit...I thought he died much younger.
I know they fucked it up to make it sound like a real broadcast, but I didn't know he was involved.

ORSON WELLES Did the Broadcast back in the 30's. No TV, just radio, caused a sensation, put him on the map.
What a fuckin' genius.
"MORK CALLING ORSON! MORK CALLING ORSON....COME IN ORSON!!!":D

Yeah true...I thought you was talking about Orson....
My bad! ;)
Cool that H.G. was still around to see what an uproar his story caused!
:cool:
I still see NO VALID REASON for Spielberg to have remade this movie, as the one from 1953 is awesome!
When I saw it for the first time I was only about 6 or 7, and it scared the living shit out of me! I had nightmares for weeks afterwards...

The movie is going to stain Spielberg's reputation.
Cruise is washing out.

You know it, bro... 5 back at'cha!
My father was a wolf
I'm a kinsman of the slain
Sworn to strike again
I will bring salvation
Punishment and pain
The Hammer of Fate is our faith
Power and dominion
Are taken by the will
By divine right HAIL AND KILL!
Cheers! :bottle:
