Several folks have mentioned WoW, and I must agree, the George Pal version is a winner. I hear it's been redone, for release later this year? I hope they don't screw it up. I remember a cartoon in a sci-fi convention program, depicting a Martian with a bad cold and Kleenex, saying "We're not whibbed yet, earthligs...." Another one in the middle of the atomic bomb blast, saying, "Man! Don't THAT make your ears ring!" Back in that magic decade, Jeff Wayne did a musical version that was faithful to the book; Richard Burton played the reporter (narrator), there were several other big names in music at the time in the cast, including Justin Hayward of the Moody Blues. Some folks my age may remember the top-40 hit "Forever Autumn" on the radio back then. Some didn't like the disco beat but it worked for me, and I didn't like disco otherwise! The imagery of Well's wrtiting was so powerful, and Burton's voice so authoritative, that I was easily transported into the middle of the action. It is available on CD, at least was a few years ago when I got my copy. I also have the LP (full of fantastic artwork), which I got at the Cosmic Aeroplane, I think. Another teenage hangout of my misspent youth. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Take Yahoo! Mail with you! Get it on your mobile phone. http://mobile.yahoo.com/maildemo
