First, in May, Avengers: Age of Ultron fell just shy ($191,271,109) of its predecessor, Marvel’s The Avengers ($207,438,708).

We Haven’t Learned Our Lesson Since 1938’s Mercury Theatre Radio Broadcast of The War of the Worlds

The War of the Worlds Radio Broadcast

One of the main themes throughout the Battlestar Galactica remake was that “All this has happened before, and all of it will happen again.”

When it comes to the now infamous October 30, 1938 Mercury Theatre radio broadcast adaptation of H.G. Wells’ The War of the Worlds, this sentiment is completely relevant in our current social media, news-of-the-moment Internet society.
