An 100% proper version of War of the Worlds.
Instead of the updated to modern America shit that they keep making.

Don't they take out a couple of the tripods by slamming Ironclads into them?

Only one

There were ships of shapes and sizes
scattered out along the bay
and I thought I heard her calling
as the steamer pulled away
The invaders must have seen them
As across the coast they filed
Standing firm between them
There lay Thunder Child!

Pretty much.
I just think that the juxtaposition between shiny, technological fighting machine against a 19th century English backdrop would look quite cool.

Yes! He was so hot.
And so was the American dude.

aww yeah,
his jaw could cut glass.

I loved Mr Hyde's voice, I know it was computer generated, but still. He should read bedtime stories.

Mmmm, he could cut my glass anytime.
Haha, yeah! And I have to admit, I found Sean Connery strangely, (albeit grossly) attractive too.

Tom Sawyer?
Who shouldn't even have been in the fucking film?

Don't care.
I enjoyed the fact that he was there.
(Applebite Uh! A cow!, Mon 10 May 2010, 16:10, Reply)

I hated the vampire
she was annoying.
( Kitty v1.0 desperately naive, Mon 10 May 2010, 16:23, Reply)

Well, yes.
But that was decidedly steampunk. I want to see proper futuristic fighting machines that look good now but will be horribly dated in ten years time.
