Random observation, because we're listening to Jeff Wayne's War of the Worlds (Thunderchild! Spirit of Man! The Red Weed!), but ...
I would really, really like a film adaptation of WotW that actually took place in 'the last days of the 19th century'. It would make absolutely no scientific sense, being based on a novel from the 19th century, but ... I just really, really want a steampunk alien invasion involving killer vegetation, a crazed artillery man, and, most importantly, the goddamn Thunderchild, okay?
It's not even that I want a faithful adaptation (though that would be cool). I just want to see a 19th century era warship go down in valiant combat with a Martian walker. Possibly to an instrumental version of 'Thunderchild'. *shrugs sheepishly* Specific desires, I have them. Heh.
