Like CK Dexter Haven, we have unexpected depth.
#svengoolie
See you next week! Watch out for disintegration rays!
#svengoolie
That was one of the best Svengoolie live tweet sessions!

Next week: Young Frankenstein, the prequel.

We know we keep bringing up the book. But in it, the aliens are killed by disease. And the narrator kind of says. "Well, we survived by pure luck. Nothing we did. "

Imperialism carries with it the seeds of its own failure. Imperialism corrupts the colony and the colonizer.
See also Joseph Conrad.

Also, the sound effects in the movie are amazing. The noises build and build and then goes deadly quiet when the Martian ship crashes at the end.
#svengoolie
Good observation!
Well, they imply, we think, that God sent the virus to stop them. Answering their prayers.
#svengoolie
Implication is that they prayed the Martians to death.
Hays Code Overload.
#svengoolie
The ending...
#svengoolie.
Thoroughly part of the Wells vision.
You can see the Hay Code moving around in the background, making the movie less Wells and more USA.
#svengoolie
Well, "win" is stretching it. Lucked out.
We will defend our balcony!

One of those League of Extraordinary Gentlemen books reimagined the alien invasion. Turns out the aliens weren't from Mars. They're a race of Space Raiders, and their last stop was Mars, where they were driven off by John Carter and his friends.

Martian whispers "We're not curious at all. We're just wiping you guys out because we're creatin content for our social media."
#Svengoolie
Luckily, the Martians are held at bay by many irradiated Earth Monsters
Giant Scorpions, Spiders, Gila Monsters, Crab Monsters, Praying Mantises, Ants, Slugs, Grasshoppers, Leeches, all giants ready to defend Earth!
And if all else fails:
#svengoolie
You show good taste and refinement.
Apparently Nosti, Gwen and Imp were too scared to show up?
#svengoolie
Very much so.
HA!
Can't believe we didn't think of that joke.
#svengoolie
Meanwhile, the aliens landed in Vegas and were immediately wiped out by the Mafia.
#Svengoolie
The narrator in the book pretty much says "Well, we, the British Empire? We probably deserve this."
#svengoolie
Well put. As with all of HG Wells books, they took out a lot of the socialist theories and social commentary. Religion and Scientists do NOT come off well in the book. Everything in society fails. And human kind only survives by happenstance.
#svengoolie
Don't be preposterous. He's drinking critic tears.
#svengoolie
Yes indeed. Take care of yourself. Heckle as needed!
