RC,

Actually, it would be wonderful if Spielberg's new "WoTW" is a good one. The original movie version was released in something like 1952 and was one of the best of that era- along with "The Day the Earth Stood Still"- so Spielberg has a lot to live up to.

I'm not anti-Spielberg in the slightest- it's just that my excpectations are very high. if he's going to sit around on his billions 9 years of ten and dare to remake a sci-fi classic, it had better be fantastic!

I thought AI was somewhat goofy, and too cartoonish, but there were also some astounding images and touching moments emotionally- and confusing- in which the robots are more real than the cruel oppressors. Remember the scene at teh "flesh fair' where the throw acid on the female nanny robot and she smiles at David while her face melts away? Tears for a machine in a movie. That's craftsmanship!

Yes, "Independence Day" -another that could have been really quite good it if didn't pander to the ten year olds and fill itself with so many cliches.

Yes, Cruise with that simian brow and giant Adams apple- just makes my skin crawl- I don't know exactly why. I pulled up next to Cruise in West Los Angeles about five months ago- he was tanned with a George Clooney haircut and looking very sharp in his Jaguar XK8- but still as vacuuous looking in real life as I thought. Is he quite short?- he didn't seem to be looking over the steering wheel by very much- perhaps slumping.

I hope WotW is Spielberg's greatest!

Cheers,

Bambi B
