That's too bad. If you had either Animation Shop or Paint Shop Pro, you could cut out parts of the image and save that part as a different one. You can this way cut the original image in half, in 4, or in 8, so you can probably post a part of the image.

The word 'them' must be out of the link you posted. I'm afraid the images Loz will send won't reach you, exodus...

You won’t thank me for this, but here are some:

"Barceloooooooooonaaaa!!!"
Image

"What bloody red dot?" "That one, you blind bint." "Oh yeah, sorry Freddie."
Image

Note the fantastic day-for-night shot here (mind you, look above at Freddie's 'night-time' walk with Monsterfat Caballe):
Image

Ogilvy sees the cylinder crash - what happened to those two trees in the middle?
Image

A Martian dances out of the cylinder - "I'm puttin' on my tophat..."
Image

"Mirror mirror on the stick, which is the shoddiest effect of all"
Image

In the storm...
Image

Freddie tries to leg it from a tripod. More bloody walking...
Image

The artilleryman flashes back to the first tripod emerging...
Image

Zap zap...
Image

What a shiny skull you have:
Image

The one and only good sfx shot:
Image

A tripod hits Shepperton Church:
Image

After hitting Shepperton Church, the Tripod flies through the air with the greatest of ease…
Image

“He’s fallen in the water!” Note the transparent legs…
Image

The Black Smoke:
Image

A cylinder hits a house...
Image

"Evenin' all, I'm your local Martian..."
Image

Turds or Martians? It's for you to decide...
Image

What in Christ’s name is that…
Image

That'll learn her for singing that bloody song:
Image

Here’s HMS Thudner Child in all her awesome glory:
Image

Looks like the Invisible Man got a job as a gunner in the Royal Navy:
Image

Go Thudner Child, go!
Image

The horror, the horror!
Image

Where’s my flyswat?
Image

"It's a drastic diet but I'll try anything once..."
Image

Wow! London, capital of the greatest empire the world has ever seen, circa 1900 – oh the splendour!
Image

Yes, folks, it's Big Ben. Apparently.
Image

Take that, Big Ben!
Image


Desperate to get out of the film, a Martian crashes his Handling Machine into a house.
Image

Note the way the falling masonry passes through the leg on the left…
Image

..emerging below, leaving the leg (and itself) unscathed. Another CGI triumph!
Image

Yes, this is London, not a field in the middle of nowhere, but London. Honest.
Image

Anthony Piano (he's the new Al Pacino, you know) finally tries to get out of this abomination by getting a Martian to kill him; little does he know it’s only a shoddy CGI effect…
Image

Even the Martians have had enough of Pentimbo - "Get my lawyer!"
Image

From what 'Loz' says it can damage your brain, so watch at your own risk.
YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!

Suddenly, the invasion makes sense.

"So, hey everyone, nice to see a crowd here today at the Cylinder. Just flew in from Mars, and boy are my 'hands' tired..."

*Crickets chirping*

"Tough crowd... Well, you humans don't like my act, eh? Is that it? Well... well... F*$# you you little $%#@ &!@^$ing &^!^@% U-&^#ing-lla &!@^#&!"

*Heat-reays the crowd*

Just stand-up comedy gone bad. Poor little martian, no one ever liked his act on Mars, so he came to Earth seeking laughs. But all he found was more pain...

[That and more, tonight, on A&E Biography]

Tonight, A&E continues our series on the Martians who visited Earth during the first years of the 20th Century.

It began, like so many things, with a dream. Martian buisnissman 'Yvligo Al-marsan' looked out into the sky one night and saw the planet Earth hanging there, a little blue sphere so full of life and energy. Yvligo was inspired by the site of this world, and realised that there was money to be made. He had been renting an observatory for the night, a popular activity at the time on Mars, and so he thought. "If people are willing to pay just to see these far off worlds, what would they give to actualy go there?"

He proposed his Idea to friends and collegues, going to every Martian buisness which migth finance his Idea. But alas, his dream was met with criticism. "The chances of anyone going to Earth are a million to one," they'd say, buit still Yvligo wasn't about to give up.

He acquired a large planetary gun, abandonned by the Military after they realised that they'd only be able fire it in one direction at any given time. But by pure co-incidence, at each opposition the sights of the weapon nicely aligned with the little blue planet of Earth. Just what Yvligo needed. With the property secured, he set to work preparing for a buisness venture which, in the last years of the 19th century, no one would have expected...

(This would make a pretty good Fanfic...)
