    I think Thor is referring to the Spielberg film in which it's implied that the aliens (or at least, their tripod ships) have been lying in wait underground for millenia. A little tidbit that wasn't in the original novel.


    yeah
    I am extremely serious.

    Yeah, that too. I actually like that film, warts and all, and think it got an undeserved rap.

    A hilarious sequence, but actually one of the highlights of the film, IMO (it was Spielberg's idea, not Lucas'). Love the buildup in the 'fake city' too.

    This is true. Impressive concept and execution though.

    NP: THE WIND GODS (Pinar Toprak)

    Never heard of the composer before I got this, but it's a pretty good score. Especially the more lyrical cues, but also parts of the more dramatic music that conjures images of the wind, sea and sailing.
    I am extremely serious.

    Afterwards, even Spielberg thought it was stupid!

    It made for a nice shot though. (That's about the best thing you can about this film. Well, that and the diner action scene. That was pretty good.)

    And got the flu once they got out and under a little rain. Crap.
    Love Maintitles. It's full of Wanders.

    Yup! Killed by microbes. Both film versions keep to the books ending in that sense.

    I like both films but George Pal's 1953 version is an absolute classic, that is the one I can watch time and again.

    Yes, that seems connected to Lovecraft rather than Wells. A connection to von Däniken I don't see either.

    Just the basic idea about aliens having been on earth since the dawn of time and may even have had some sort of impact on us (granted, Spielberg's WAR OF THE WORLDS only hints at this idea).

    I am currently writing my own science fiction film about a Norwegian film music fan who doesn't favour chronological and complete presentations of film scores and who has been buried under the earth since the dawn of time. It is of course called Thor of the Worlds.

    Will it be scored with babbling brooks, celestes and soft pillows?

    No - too bombastic. The temp-track is one of the crowning musical achievements of the 21st century, Steve Jablonsky's Pain and Gain. (Actually I had already disposed of that album, so I asked a pair of mating walruses to climb over a keyboard. The results were a little more intellectually stimulating than Jablonsky's music, but otherwise pretty much interchangeable.)

    The Monuments Men - Alex D

    This is somehow both unusually big by his standards, and yet unusually light and at times very witty. Superb stuff.
