I'm only concerned that after seeing this newest version, with all of the mind-blowing special effects, my yearly Halloween tradition of listening to Orson Welles and the Mercury Theatre on the Air's masterful radio drama will be ruined! I already know what the cylinder that crashed into the Wilmuth's Farm in Grover's Mill looks like. I can also see how the Martian machines move across Jersey and New York spreading death and destruction in their path... any of Speilberg's vision will just smear the lovely horrific picture Orson Welles painted so brilliantly in October of 1938! On second thought maybe I won't go see it... :)
