I'm just saying Signs was a flawed movie and I'm hoping Spielberg and Cruise and make a better alien invasion film than M. Night's movie.
Who the hell is Videodrome? Is it Videodrone or a wanna-be?
wanna-be.
Videodrome is a really, really fucking awesome movie by David Cronenberg. I doubt there's any intentional relation to Videodrone here.

Signs was a really good movie and I would have sexual relations with Tom Cruise.
First off, READ the original H.G. Wells novel which is set in 1800s England. It is a bit slowpaced at first but when it picks up is a mindblowing novel. One of my favorite parts is a long sequence where the main character is trapped in a dilapidated house with no food while an alien slowly enters menacingly through a debris hole at one point.
I am a bit confused about Spielberg making it. Why confused you say? It IS honestly confusing because he always used to say in interviews that he never wanted to make an alien themed movie besides ET where the extraterestrials were evil, so I kinda did a double take when this was first announced.
One thing that bugs me is that one of the main characters will be a little kid (Dakota Fanning who is a bit of an alien child herself methinks), so there's the probable fact that Spielberg will water down a bit of the fright that way. (oh man did Ian's spazzy daughter have a 50/50 part in destroying The Lost World or what?!)
But the trailer looks awesome so far, it has a very old school alien B movie feel to it but not in a cheesy way, but in a frighteningly appropriate 1930s radio WotW kinda way. Anyways, liked Minority Report a lot so I will be optimistic.
Speaking of the 1930s Orson Welles radio show, my grandpa clearly remembers hearing it with his brothers way back when it was aired. He said at first they DID think it was rea,l but before the joke was revealed they could already sorta tell it was a prank(which is much less than some people who actually killed themselves in at least a few cases, one lady poisoned herself IIRC, it lead to a new law and everything)
That's a pretty cool tidbit. I never really thought about the impact it would have on simpletons.Quote:
