Thanks for taking your answer off the air, Terf. Always nice when a longtime listener calls in. I recognized no references to Orson Welles or the Mecury Theatre. Unless you consider the constant eating of people to be an homage to Orson's corpulence.

You honestly weren't offended by the 9/11 imagery? I'm saddened to think that people have become inured to this sort of manipulative filmmaking. I find it ironic that the same filmmaker who made "Schindler's List," self-servingly uses imagery in "War of the Worlds" that should remain sacred.
