I gotcha man… (read the book, el dorko humongo)

1.) BS, shoulda died. EMP (electromagnetic pulse) deads damn near anything electrical, think of a mssive lightning bolt nailing your house while comp. browsing - shit is shot.

2.)Dunno what you mean by this? That was some soupy PB though, shoulda used Jiff :lol:

3.) Most unrealistic plane crash ever. If it was hit high, at altitude, that jet woulda been spread over 2 miles, and nowhere near those size chunks. At low speeds, like out of a nearby airport, it would have been rediculous fires from a full load of fuel. Buh bye Tom 😃

4.) Stupid Hollywood - he’s crispy like an overdone cheddar brat man.

5.) lol @ manicure! No doubt, Boston woulda been a parking lot if they were going after major population areas. After a 1,000,000,000,000,000 mile trip from space, what’s NYC to Boston? :shrug: That’s like going from the john to the sink for them.

6.) Sheltered children. Literally.

7.) BS again, that was a what? Mid-eighties Caravan? OBD I at least, doubt it would run after he “changed the solenoid” on the starter. Meh.

8.) Ray was a wuss until that point, until his girl was in danger. At that point he man’d up something fierce and deded him, barehanded. Uhm, yeah, that’s the story and I’m stickin’ to it…

All in all, great visuals, loved the burning Amtrack and the tripod crashed out into the building. The birds were there (as in the first) to show the aliens were dead, and they wanted in.

Speaking of which, those aliens were fucking weak as hell. They looked like monkeys that had tried to swallow frisbees.
