War of the Wolrds II: Mars of Fire

Here's a movie idea:

Picking up from the close of the 1953 sci-fi classic, War of the Worlds II: Mars on Fire, has the Human race counter-attack the Martians. The year is 1961. Kennedy is in the White House. The Russians have been wiped out by the Martian attack. American know-how and stolen Martian technology combine to launch waves of space marines in rocket ships at the slimy aliens from Mars. Marines break into their subterranean hives and hand out a little payback. It's all shot in vivid Technicolor with square-jawed heroes and their dishy female counterparts. WWII:Mars On Fire pays homage to the great sci-fi movies of the 50's and 60's, with silver space ships and the plastic fantastic mindset from the days of America's Camelot. It works on both levels: as a campy tale and as a story of all-action: good vs. evil.

"Take me to your leader. I'm gone kick her Martian ass" Our central hero, scientist turned Marine Captain Wash Perry, leads a mission of take out the Queen, leader of the Martians. Will he succeed in wiping out Earth's deadliest foe; or can there be peace, brotherhood and an end to the War of the Worlds.

For example, over a year ago, I began re-imagining lawn ornaments as zombies. I dislike lawn ornaments, so I thought it was a befitting response to give the critters an undead patina . In the last year, I sold one, gave one away and then a month or so ago, I got a request to send out another one-- for cash! I mailed it. Supposedly, the address was incorrect, so it meandered back. Canada Post wanted to charge me to send the item, and they wanted to charge me to get it back. I sent it under a rate to be delivered in 5 business days. It took 15 business days to wander back. I was able to argue into not paying to get back what Canada Post failed to deliver. I hea...
