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.

When the last owner of the channel had to cut back they nailed the morning show. Then a new owner rolled out a morning show in markets like Victoria. They dusted off the format and started doing the show again. Monday morning, I popped into a Thrifty's where Maggie Cox was wrapping up her live spot. There she was amid more lights than a Hollywood premier and more cables than a Frankenstein movie. All of her gear and personal effects filled a shopping buggy. I felt a little bit of pity. When I see the same people in front of the camera at 6AM and 5PM and 11PM, I think: "Where is Labour Relations? How can these people be forced to pepper a 17 hour day with three newscasts?"
