Hollywood Hates Us
No sooner have I given Hollywood the benefit of the doubt about not turning His Dark Materials into a literally godless train wreck than they turn around and kick my optimism in the ass again.
Seven words to ruin your Saturday. The first six:
Cruise. Spielberg. War of the Worlds.
Final word of the incantation? Modernization.
Say it with me, folks: This is gonna suck.... For less than a movie ticket and a bag of popcorn, you can read the original in hardback instead:
Comments
I dunno. While there is much to like about War of the Worlds the ending really sucks. It's a bit like the Elric stuff, top marks for innovation but lower scores on actually being really good.
Room for improvement. Of course Cruise and Spielberg may not be about to deliver it, and after seeing the trailer for I Robot (couldn't face the full thing) you may have a point.
