I DO know and i DONT care :D...

But flip side... you guys do know that war of the worlds has Tom Cruise in it and so is undoubtably going to be adequate at best.

...but was written in 1897 (IIRC), long before Stalin came to power, by a man who died in 1947, long before the full effect of Stalin's reign was known. Aside from which, the novel contains an interesting discussion (held in the ruins of Woking, I believe) about just what is the correct way to rebuild the world - whether through force or by consent, and the protagonist plumps for the side of consent. Add to that the fact that even by the mid-thirties, with Stalin only recently head of the Communist Party, Wells had become disillusioned with him. Wells was always a socialist, and never a fill blown communist.

Well aside from what BWO said.

From the trailers it doesn't look like they'll be a lot of the original book in it. It looks like an action-film (lite). Though its not meant to be. Unsurprisingly really, considering they (Spielburg & Cruise) did the same to Minority Report, kind of missing the point of PKD's stories imo.

Tarantino guest directed Sin City for one whole day. It isn't his baby, it's Frank Miller's, the guy who wrote the comic. In fact, Robert Rodriguez worked with Frank Miller ultra closely in order to bring as much of the comic to the screen as possible. I'm well looking forward to it. Plus Jessica Alba would definitely get it in those chaps.

Dude you want to see Shadowmancer? The book was atrocious....

Episode 3 (Still ain't seen it! ARGH!) and Sinfest (Meant to be the best comic book adaptation available).

Yeees, might not take the advice of a guy who just got a film name wrong, despite its being mentioned at least ten times before you. Sin City is the name, not Sinfest. :rolleyes:
and Shadowmancer was a brilliant book, ten times better than Rowling, a brilliant read.
