also… Everyone likes to point out the inconsistencies in this film, plot holes and so on. I’m watching the scene on the ridge where we throw all our military might at the aliens and they just keep on coming. Well… wouldn’t our military leaders be smart enough to figure out that if we can’t hurt them directly….we should bury them? I.e. blow up the ground under their feet. If the tripods have nothing to stand on then they can’t move. Immobilization seems quite easy. We can fly, they cannot. At the point in the film that we get to meet Ogilvy the military has had a full day to figure it out – but they are still sending humvees at them. All these things are why I still don’t like the decision to set the movie in modern times. Why was this necessary? All it does is make it look even sillier that we can’t beat them.

The City of (not sun) Light
Our train arrived in Paris after sunset and we tried to use the “easy” subway system we experienced in London and Brussels but were quickly stymied by a glitchy machine that wouldn’t keep English selected past the initial screen. Kind of a problem for figuring out what to buy. Belgium even had a guy walking […]
They Should all be Belgian Fries Instead
We reached Brussels before sunset, perfect for checking out the Bourse Christmas Market. We’d picked the right lodging in some ways and the worst in others. The hotel was right next to the market and the hub of the city, but it was also somehow very loud at night with clanging and banging and strange […]
