OLD 55 Posted April 25, 2005 Report Posted April 25, 2005 O.K., if no one is going to kill the alcohol I'll just have to do it! P.S. Did anyone see the movie "Mars Attacks" ? I'm just wondering if anyone got what I put to kill the Martians !
edna Posted April 25, 2005 Author Report Posted April 25, 2005 What about this? Old55, I saw both the old and the new movie, and I was thinking about this... ... but I wonder if you know who Bianca Castafiore is...
OLD 55 Posted April 26, 2005 Report Posted April 26, 2005 Hi Edna. No, I didn't know there was an original version of "Mars Attacks". I've only seen the one where Slim Whitman's version of "Indian Love Call" kills the Martians. In Australia we used to get English and American comics/books when I was a kid and I know TinTin and Snowy from the 1950s. They weren't all that big here though. I didn't really know her, but I see she was the opera singer who always got the Captain's name mixed up.

OLD 55 Posted April 26, 2005 Report Posted April 26, 2005 I must be a bit thick! How does America's Human Nature Album kill Prohibition? And is that Will Bonney? Where does he come into things? :: ::
bazooka Posted April 26, 2005 Report Posted April 26, 2005 How does ... Human Nature ... kill Prohibition? I think we all naturally try to circumvent restrictions of any kind. America's album is just keeping this Songfacts thread in a 'musical' vein. Old 55, The issue of 'captions' came up in Picture Wars I, but, to me, the whole idea is to come up with wry, clever, thought- provoking and fun images in response to the preceding picture. If I don't 'get' a particular response, I don't question that -- I'll maybe sit out a round and see where things go. I keep in mind that these Wars games aren't really win-able, and try not to be too literal-minded (for example, the actual cause of death for some individual pictured). I don't care for palaver with the pictures.
OLD 55 Posted April 26, 2005 Report Posted April 26, 2005 Hi Bazooka. I had never played until last week. I went back to page 1 of this thread and someone explained that the object of the game was to "kill" the previous image. You either play a game by the rules or you don't bother. I won't bother.
bazooka Posted April 29, 2005 Report Posted April 29, 2005 UNFINISHED BUSINESS: I saw both the old and the new movie edna, I'm guessing these are the movies you had in mind: the 1953 classic Invaders From Mars and the disappointing 1986 remake. Mars Attacks was based on a 'Mom-Disapproved' set of trading cards.
bazooka Posted May 2, 2005 Report Posted May 2, 2005 But the original 'Man In Black' is wearing white -------------------------------------------------
edna Posted May 2, 2005 Author Report Posted May 2, 2005 Eric Burdon... black in white... Bazooka, I saw an old movie about Mars invasion when I was a kid... I don´t remember the plot exactly, probably not like Tim Burton´s version, which was basically funny... this one must be the 1953 one...
bazooka Posted May 5, 2005 Report Posted May 5, 2005 French title: Toi, le venin (1958) starring Marina Vlady as Eva Lecain and Henri Arius as Tintin
