Spiel-burgers.

Here are 8 continuity errors i noticed whilst watching War of the Worlds a few hours ago. If you have more, which i'm sure you do, comment and we'll e-mail Tom Cruise.

8) Tom has dust on self. Tom washes face for 2 seconds. Tom no longer has dust anywhere and next scene is not wet.

7) Dakota Fanning's character uses shoe as decoy for aliens. Leaves shoe there. Then is seen runnign with (to quote the cat empire) Two Shoes.

6) Electro-Magnetic Pulse manages to knock out Tom's watch. Tom's mechanical, analogue watch. If battery was affected, how come his battery powered torch worked fine? Or the car battery?

5) Many robots shown. Tom + random army guy blow up one robot. WHERE THE FUCK ARE ALL THE OTHER ROBOTS?!

4) Tom looks out on endless landscape of human blood, guts and general turmoil. Within one day's walking distance Tom is in Boston, walking with many other randomly lucky improbable survivors. No guts ANYWHERE.

3) Tom walks through newly re-gut-covered boston, which is now flaking off and drying obviosuly symbolizing the sickness of the robots. Robot dies. WHERE ARE ALL THE OTHER FUCKING ROBOTS PEOPLE? Assumingly head robot. why was the head robot in Boston???????????? that's plausible. BUT after robot dies, ALL OF THE DECAYING BOSTON GUTS MAGICALLY DISAPPEAR AND TURN INTO ROMANTIC LEAFY STREETS UNHARMED!!!!!!!!!!??????????? WTF????????

2) 3 words. ENDLESSLY CLEAN CLOTHES.

1) And my number one continuity gripe with war of the worlds is : If the aliens have been studying our species for over A MILLION YEARS and have taken the time to go down to earth and bury said enormous robots, HOW THE FUCK COULD THEY NOT KNOW ABOUT THE LAME-ASS BACTERIA KILLING ENDING???????????????

all my love readers. <3

I didn't like WOTW much either - I've got a couple things I noticed too.

- After the attack at the subdivision, the back windows in the minivan are gone. But later, when the mob attacks the car in the rain, the windows are all there

-When Tom begins "making sandwiches" at Mary Ann's apartment, he pulls out a large knife to spread the peanut butter. In the next shot, he's using a wooden spoon

-After they swim across the River and Rachel starts to get up to run, she isn't wearing her sleeveless purple hoody and none of the others have it, but a few scenes later, she's wearing it again walking along with Robbie and Tom

-When driving up to Boston in the minivan, the gearstick is in the park

-Cars are driven off the ship to make room for more people, even though the EMP disabled all the cars. The video camera apparently works because it was off during the EMP, so does that mean every car in the area was on when it hit?

Ah true believer, your crap film perceptions skills are excellent. May you be rewarded with a lack of oscars for that film.
