Unless the aliens in War of the Worlds turn out to be space clams, it's not remotely in the same league as Battlefield Earth.
Tracy: Well-- That call -- That call means you just murdered me. Mal: No, son. You murdered yourself. I just carried the bullet a while.

Buffista Movies 4: Straight to Video
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
Zeppelins for everyone!
And no playing Stairway To Heaven on any of them!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I'm psyched for War of the Worlds.
I loves me a good disaster flick.

Scientology in Hollywood is as common as herpes.
Yeah, but Tom's a weird Scientologist.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
There are no clams (I think) in WotW, but there is this.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Lilty, don't be alarmed now, but...there's a bustle. Don't look! Okay, sit down. ::sigh:: It's in your hedgerow.

I think more Hollywoodites should have zeppelins. For one thing, avoid all the Los Angeles traffic! For another, a justification for owning a home in the Hollywood Hills -- can't moore a zeppelin to just any apple tree in the Valley, you know.
Does he keep that in CA, or is it at his airfield on Vinalhaven in Maine?

I think for most Scientologists in Hollywood it's a money/career thing.
Tom outdoes Mel because for him Scientology is an ecstatic/gnostic thing. Xenu is weirder than Jesus, pure and simple.

I think they should next make "The Batman Wars Against The Dirigible Of Doom" into a movie.
(A dirigible is a generic Zeppelin)
