Anybody seen The Time Machine yet?
 
I've seen it twice..found it to be an enyoyable movie...
Even if the morlocks turn up in the daytime...Loved the music- got the soundtrack.
The Eloi village reminded me of my favorite games- Myst, Riven and ODDWORLD..

The original movie is hilarious. you see, their is a woman named weena in that movie and their is a slew of hilarious puns. "Weena, get out of that big hole" "Oh my god, he's stroking Weena" and too many more to be documented

I saw the original movie the other day. I'm in agreement with Statikk; it's quite a funny movie. There are actually quite a lot of shocking racist remarks in that film too.

Trivia: the actor who played the leading role in the original The Time Machine was a friend of my grandfathers! :)

You guys know that it was an H.G Wells book first, right? Right...? :|

It was...

I've read the book and seen the original adaptation... I really like the book, and the first adaptation was okay... I'll probably see the new one sometime, but I doubt I'll like it as much as the book. (or first adaptation, for that matter)

(must read other H.G Wells books... I liked The Time Machine, but that's the only book of his that I've read)

I saw the new movie, and read the book. I thought they were both great. But I haven't seen the original movie. My mom thought it was "satanic". :fuzblink:

I saw that movie too it was cool I liked it. I also thought that those canyon dwelleings reminded me a little bit of Oddworld. That was so cool.

are you guys stealing my stash and smoking all 50 pounds of it?? The new movie was terrible...didn't follow the book at all. The evolved humans are supposed to be little primitive weirdos, not normal people including an extremely sexy woman. I don't know, I could go on and on but I'm tired and I'm sure no one wants to hear it. Just read the book....and see the movie again for that hot girl. Man she's a babe.
