War of the Worlds (the movie)
"I found parts of the movie "War of the worlds" scary. That little girl (Dakota Fanning) was like screaming every five minutes. Were you scared too?"
"No, not really. I guess they were the same bad ass aliens that you saw in the other movie, "Independence day", may be a little uglier.”
“What were the aliens doing on earth this time?”
“It is an old story of aliens invading the earth to exterminate the humans and to make this planet their home. This time they were riding in "tripods", sucking human blood and getting dysentery or something. I think that's how they died eventually."
“Eww! That’s what they were eating? I think I missed that part.”
“What were they supposed to eat? They were not strict vegetarians."
"They didn't have anything else to eat?"
"I guess not. See, all that planning went down the tube because they forgot to pack their food with them for the mission. At least someone should have thought of that in the higher alien hierarchy before planning an interplanetary war.”
"That's dumb. I am sure somebody is going to get fired over this."
Pause
"I really liked Tom Cruise's role."
"Yeah! Though, he was mostly running the other way from the aliens throughout the movie. He was portrayed as a "lousy dad" living alone, but was able to take care of his children during the alien attack."
"Isn't that cool? He came out good as a father."
"You don't really need an alien invasion to bring a family together. Do you?"
"No, not really. I guess they were the same bad ass aliens that you saw in the other movie, "Independence day", may be a little uglier.”

no necesarily. but alien attacks could be a reminders to dads like tom cruise.
well any way.. nice good subtle lesson for ur kid. I really like that in parents who know when to say serious stuff, instead of giving them a wordy lecture for 1 hour
I like spielberg's movies; today at night i am going to watch his new movie WAR OF THE WORLD.
the minute i read the title war of worlds... i did not dare read ahead... coz u give away many spoilers (like u did in mr and mrs smith) heheheh :D so i will skip this one for fear uv given sumthing away... and dakota fanning is quite the actres... :D
Alien movies, not interested!
But you both did have some serious/worthwhile and funny discussion after watching
" War of the Worlds". And you were able to provide food for thought for your kid. Good for you!!!
