War of the Worlds: A special effects bonanza, a Spielberg blockbuster, a visual
masterpiece...
And, also, every shred of proof one would ever need to justify abortion. I'll explain.
Dakota Fanning is, without a doubt, the most annoying creature ever to insult the
silver screen with her presence. There is not a slow enough or heavy enough
steam-roller available that would do the appropriate job of squashing Dakota
Fanning. I despise her with every fiber of my being.
Do I sound harsh? Then, apparently, you never saw War of the Worlds. This movie
has so much potential. It has a premise that we all can relate to; the threat of
annihilation weighing heavily on the conscious, a reluctant hero, a charismatic
leading man (albeit insane), and giant laser which turns unsuspecting fools into
clouds of ash on a regular and awesome basis.
But it has Dakota Fanning in it, with that god-awful, wretched, ear-splitting scream
of hers (which somebody apparently thought was 'cute' and decided to put it into
EVERY FUCKING SCENE). Dakota Fanning is like a black-hole, packed into an
affluent, brittle, white, girl frame. She, through her screen presence, managed to
suck the life out of a 100 million dollar movie... at age ten. Lord only knows what
she'll do once the boobs arrive. In a preemptive manner, I pity her future
boyfriends. Hopefully, by that time, some crazy pervert will have kidnapped her and
sold her to a Korean slave-trader, in an effort to remind the world why child actors
have no place existing.
