War of the Worlds is the best half a movie you’ve ever seen. Take this advice: if you haven’t seen the film yet, leave just after the scene on the Hudson Ferry. Go back and see the flick again if you really want to know how it all turns out but do leave halfway through the first time and savor how great a summer movie can be.
So we all get old and then we can’t hack it any more. Is that it?
That conversation from Trainspotting pretty much sums up Steven Speilberg. Maybe Tom Cruise too.
Damn it. I wish someone would have told me to leave halfway through. I was on the edge of my seat, anxious to see what would happen next, and in the space of about two minutes went from forgetting what a timepiece was to staring endlessly as the second hand forgot how to move. Painful. Exquisitely painful.
