Yes - that's the best thing to come from the book!

Re: War of the Worlds.

Most of my problems with this move were addressed here and on the podcast.

I watched the movie yesterday and never intend to watch it again. For those who choose to, please consider this possible explanation for much of Tom Cruise's performance: Ray is an 80 IQ high school dropout. Suddenly, lots of scenes make sense and you don't expect much from Ray. He's doing pretty good for a guy with a learning disability and poor social skills!

Also, EWW/CinemaSins-style, I'll say I believe the quick filming. There are lots of sloppy details in the production: army trucks suddenly appear as Dakota runs to Goku after their pee break. Before the cut, the last truck passes and the road behind is empty to the hills. After the cut there is a whole new convoy starting. The scene with falling clothing is not clothing and the materials have no variation (denim/cotton/silk fall differently) and are cloth that does not significantly resemble clothing to me (it is also the only scene we see falling clothes from the sky). The bodies in the stream start passing only when Dakota shows up. the army guys are using vietnam-era radio equipment. There's more and you can say it is for impact but it's still careless.

I post because I care.
