Martian Cronicles warning for today
"The Martian Cronicles" are still misunderstood.

The extinction not unlike one that had happen to the Martians by Earth microbes, is about to hit us by Martian microbes.

Like the Martians had choosen to believe that the arrived humans are an imagination fluke, we have choosen to believe that the images of life that arrive from Mars now, are imagination fluke.

Truth that we do not want to see

If we will not mend out ways, we will eventually bring Martian microbes here.

Great closing line. I have not yet seen the 2005 W of W but remain a fan of the original with Gene Barry: http://www.cinemablend.com/review.php?id=1025

I, too, haven't seen the remake and love the original. Very creative, imaginative, and non-stereotypical designs of both the Martians and their ships! Hooray for George Pal!

The remake is awesome even in spite of starring Tom Cruise!

OK. I guess I'll check it out, though it'll have to be on the "small screen" as it's left the cinema by now. So Cruise doesn't make any money off me, maybe I can get it from the library...
