My god, if they were going to change the plot this much they could have released it under a completely new name

Respect the classics people!!

[thepigclub]

a simple way to kill the triffids would be to over water them

@dukes0916 You can buy it on BluRay, but not DVD in the States. I wish it was out on Region 1 DVD, but, alas, no.

[dukes0916]

I'm not familiar with this treatment of the work. Was it ever released in the States? Looks like they tried to mix-it-up a bit, with the jump-cuts & funky camera angles! (As opposed to the more 'staged' look of traditional BBC.) They did the same thing with the modern attempts at Dr. Who & Survivors.

Frankly... I don't see how they could top the 80's mini-series!

Am I the only one thinking flame thrower?

Eddie Izzard is playing here :)

[borgduck]

SHUT THE HELL UP ABOUT WATER! ALL OF YOU! THAT IS NOT HOW IT WAS IN THE BOOK!!!!!!

[borgduck]

@thepigclub That was the stupid 60's movie version!

[fearofthemind]

@daddyalien True.

[daddyalien]

@fearofthemind and if thats what happened in the 1962 film then it shouldn't be called the film of the book because if you read the book you would know that isn't what happens at all

[daddyalien]

@thepigclub are you retarded?

[fearofthemind]

@thepigclub Ironically, in the 1962 film of the book, that is exactly how they defeat the triffids in the end. Also, they were aliens that came with the meteors.
