-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 For those of you who haven't seen Tom Cruise's new "War of the Worlds"...you missed nothing at all. It's hard to forgive the Scientology poop inside the awful script. It's difficult to even describe the ham acting and retarded (though true to the original) plot. However, it's hard to ignore the fantastic way the movie portrays the hacking landscape. Like Tom Cruise, the Internet found that buried underneath civilization were strange and terrifying creatures - hackers - who had weapons no one could protect themselves against. They burned everything in their path and then essentially dissipated. But of course, the question the movie doesn't answer is what happens next. Do humans just continue on as they had before? Do the aliens leave them alone forever? Or do the aliens come back with a few shots of penicillin and finish the job? I dunno, but if enough Scientologists bought tickets, then I'm sure we will get to find out in War of the Worlds II. - -dave (I'm wacky today - can only read assembly for so many hours in a row.
