The movie we saw last week, Mars Attacks, was based on a series of trading cards that beared some resemblances to the movie. The cards themselves are less satirical than the movie's story but they are twice as violent and packing more sexual innuedoes than the movie ever dared to venture to.So yes, I could not help but make comparisons to the movie and the original trading card source. Yet there are so many simliarities and differences when you consider the Martians vaporizing hapless humans into multicolored skeletons, shrinking soldiers into pint-sized victims and Maritians in giant robots running amok! There is also another gruesome weapon the Martians employ in the cards; giant bugs that are enlarged thanks to their gruesome experiments. And yes, there is a ton of nasty stuff like that...
