Even though we probably won't agree on film quality, we'll sit under the stars and eat snacks. I saw Close Encounters at a Drive In a million years ago. 7/28...American Grafitti at B. Park? You game?LHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14208588882516068765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10736108.post-1121779267636833032005-07-19T08:21:00.000-05:002005-07-19T08:21:00.000-05:00Consensus in our house was that War of the Worlds ...Consensus in our house was that War of the Worlds completely sucked eggs. And we even saw it under the exciting conditions of the drive-in theater, under a cool, star-studded sky. The acting sucked. The plot...wait, what plot? We all found the little girl so annoying that we begged for her to be eaten by the aliens. The aliens were ok. Granted, I have extremely high movie standards--a point which my son will go on about at great length in a disgusted voice. But son has extremely low standards and he didn't like it either.Julie Annahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12870986467688583203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10736108.post-1121626277574986532005-07-17T13:51:00.000-05:002005-07-17T13:51:00.000-05:00Yes, I loved it.

But...again, when the expectations are low enough, movies can really surprise you.LHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14208588882516068765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10736108.post-1121625527836320612005-07-17T13:38:00.000-05:002005-07-17T13:38:00.000-05:00How about War of the Worlds?

Not sure Pedro would describe it as "good," but I was surprised that even after overexposure previewing (seeing "Making Wedding Crashers" on HBO and Vince Vaughn on that Couric show, and Owen on Charlie Rose), that there were still many scenes that made me laugh.LHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14208588882516068765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10736108.post-1121611484191643612005-07-17T09:44:00.000-05:002005-07-17T09:44:00.000-05:00Thanks for the report - especially for those of us...Thanks for the report - especially for those of us who pretty much always have to wait for them to come out on dvd. I am glad that 'Crashers' is actually good - the ad looks funny but they can be so misleading. I might have to see that on the upcoming vacation.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
