| I enjoyed Mars Attacks!, and I thought it was way better than that year's other alien invasion movie, Independence Day. Yuck, Roland Emmerich... However, I am a fan of the 1962 trading cards, so ultimately I wish the film had that same dark disturbing horrific exploitational tone of the cards and was less silly and kitschy. Sure, that's not what the public wants, and the film would've made even less money, but that was the original feel of the source material.    Of course, that was my problem with ID4. The teaser trailer looks like a dark serious cutthroat epic martian battle, and the film ended up being this lightweight disaster movie full of hackneyed dialogue and throwaway performances. That was still the best trailer I've ever seen though. |

| I have it on DVD, love seeing Army troops wearing starched OD Sateen and carrying M-14s. I did note .45 ACP from a 1911A1 (used by Rod Steiger)could not penetrate the Martians' helmets but rounds from the SIGs carried by the Secret Service guys could.  |

| When I was a kid, another guy in school had the Mars Attacks card set but as I recall all these years later they were a spoof of the original cards. Is my memory faulty after all of these decades later or was there a humorous version of the cards as well as the originals? |
