I think I should have but since I like the WotW movies too I thought I’d just mention the origin of them all via the H.G. Well’s book. <BR/><BR/>Another cool title is <A HREF="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superman:_War_of_the_Worlds" REL="nofollow">Superman: War of the Worlds</A>. As Superman and Orson’s broadcast both appeared in 1938 it made sense to do a story bringing them together. In the comic Superman only has the superpowers he first used his very early adventures.<BR/><BR/>The Devil Girl from Mars looks totally awesome! Thanks for the info. I’ve never seen Invaders from Mars but the trailer on youtube was wonderful! Atomic horror at it’s best<BR/><BR/>Dean – Thanks dean, we do have similar tastes when comes to Martians<BR/><BR/>Snab – Hmm I haven’t read that one, do you have it?<BR/><BR/>Stephen – yeah I missed it the first time around but it really captures jonn very well.<BR/><BR/>Pidomon – thanks!<BR/><BR/>Dr. Zaius – I’m sorry I missed your post, New Frontier is really something special. <BR/><BR/>I’m a bigger fan of John Carter than Tarzan too!Swinebreadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02947060321484913676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6371426616015739116.post-73212714757981554672008-06-03T07:07:00.000-07:002008-06-03T07:07:00.000-07:00As Prime Minister of Mars, this post pleases me gr...As Prime Minister of Mars, this post pleases me greatly.SamuraiFroghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18313259493587442589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6371426616015739116.post-20403706437320738662008-05-31T20:23:00.000-07:002008-05-31T20:23:00.000-07:00I felt the same way about J'onn J'onzz until I saw...I felt the same way about J'onn J'onzz until I saw the film 'Justice League: The New Frontier'. <A HREF="http://zaiusnation.blogspot.com/2008/05/what-was-on-tv-last-night.html" REL="nofollow">I did a post about it!</A><BR/><BR/>I also read every John Carter of Mars book by Edgar Rice Burroughs.

Additionally, Emerson, Lake, and Powell did an interesting version of Holst's work.Don Snabulushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05911180639753508627noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6371426616015739116.post-25710126672328116062008-05-30T08:06:00.000-07:002008-05-30T08:06:00.000-07:00Wow.

Glad the Phoenix made it. <BR/><BR/>Bugs Buuny and the Martian were always good fun. As for Mars Attacks, I recently learned from a Swedish friend that "ack ack" is also a Swedish expression that means "uh-oh" or "oops". <BR/><BR/>Orson Wells' radio broadcast of WotW was the best version of that story to me. <BR/><BR/>I really enjoyed The Martian Chronicles book as a teenager.<BR/><BR/>Another fun movie was <A HREF="http://www.amazon.com/Devil-Girl-Mars-Hugh-McDermott/dp/6305772681/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=dvd&qid=1212135413&sr=8-1" REL="nofollow">"Devil Girl from Mars" (1954)</A> in which a dominatrix chick in a kinky leather outfit (hey, it's an English film) and a funky giant robot with a disintegrator ray show up at a remote English inn to gather men for breeding back on Mars.<BR/><BR/>And my generation was scared s***less as kids by the original "Invaders from Mars" (1953), which left us nervously laughing, yet checking the necks of our parents and teachers for implants.Pandaboniumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08352197350806179930noreply@blogger.com
