The trouble is, every time anyone in the film says it, I keep hearing Kippax, which is near Leeds. ๐ฌ
It's taking the shine off it, if I'm honest.

In the 80s it was as close to an openworld game as we could ever hope to get.
Are we not fans of Jet Set Willy?

The original WotW was great. The Tom Cruise one was good, too.
This is just an hour and a half of a bloke sitting at a computer. A complete bastardisation of the film's title. HG Wells must be spinning in his grave.
Don't watch it just to see if I'm right because "it can't be THAT bad".
It IS that bad; like a dog turd that dangles helplessly from said dog's bum hole, swinging to and fro on a length of human hair it ate off the carpet yesterday. You don't want to see that, and you don't want to see this either.
I turned the new War of the Worlds off after less than half an hour. I've seen some garbage in my time but this takes the cake.
Easily the worst film in movie history. Boring, pointless and a waste of everyone's time.

Just googling, apparently they started making them in the 20s and there was a surge of popularity around George Best's career.

I always said that one day, I'd take the boards up and get them back.
They're still there, 43 years later. I never got around to retrieving them. ๐
That's an interesting use for it. ๐
