Due to War of the Worlds, a failure's what I label you!

(The 2005 remake of War of the Worlds, starring Tom Cruise, is considered a box-office bomb, meaning it did not make enough money to cover its massive budget despite generating a lot of buzz or attention prior to release.

Uh....no. No, though I'm no fan of that movie, this statement is outright false. War of the Worlds was a grand slam box office success, and made back over 4x its budget. It was NOT a "box-office bomb". All that Tarantino is saying here is how the movie was not faithful to its material and relied on explosions and special effects to keep the audience's interest instead of telling a compelling story, thus making Spielberg a failure as a director. Someone fix that, please.
