Wonder why it didnt mention them feeding off blood?

I just think they didn't really want to show very much of the Martians. Keep the mystery going. maybe they thought it would be too horrific.
I'd have loved to have seen a scene with that happen though.
They had no Red Weed either.

well PG *shrugs* possibily budget limits?

There was a lot of changes from the book. The war machines not having three legs was down to budget and the limitations of the effects at that time

Don't forget the time limitations built into the film. The entire movie takes place over little more than two days: the ultimate "lost weekend". Not much time for the red weed to take hold before blight wipes it out.

I wasn't being sarcastic. I think those designs are extremely poetic.
And er accusations don't bode well over the internet.
Maybe you should try to get to know people before making assumptions about them.

Okay so this was just a statement out of the blue that had nothing to do with what we were discussing? Is that what you are saying? Or were you saying that I was being sarcastic and that it wasn't apreciated, which is basically how it reads?

I thought you were being sarcastistic regarding my post....which evidently you wherent.

Anyhoo i apologise to any offense you took from it as it was not my intention !

Don't argue, guys. This is a forum where we can all talk about our love of WotW. Don't spoil it for yourselves :)

Anways, as said before, perhaps they didn't have blood because of the budget.

Maybe because it was only a few years after WWII, and people still felt strongly about too much blood etc? Note that there is Martian Blood, but not human.

And again, as said, it was only a PG. Blood would have made it atleast a 12. Maybe they didn't put much blood in because they wanted children to learn the story aswell.

exodus2310 and Loz, just been reading ya posts..

Its hard over a forum or msn or even email to work out what people mean or how they are saying things.... don't think either of you is trying to offend the other, just things can be read 2 ways sometimes.

I suggest you both grab a mate and take out any frustrations on the following link...

Thanks for clearing that up, Lee...


Back to the topic at hand...

Okay okay but saying saying that the design of the war ships in the movie are quite poetic, just doesn't seem like sarcasm to me. Especially when I've spoken about them often in other posts. But nevermind.

I think the blood drinking being abesent could be down to any of these things -
finding the time to show it in the story.
Not wanting to become more of a horror film than a disater film.
The Martains being different from Well's description. (remember they have no bofdies, no digestive system, Pals martians had bodies.)
Coming up with a way to show it well. (There are no martians doing stuff in the pits like in the book. They just rise out of the cylinders in their FMs)
