I shall rephrase.... have you read any good films recently while actually watching the film...
(and I agree - "The Road" is an outstanding book.)

One of the very few good books that was nicely adapted into a movie was Cider House Rules. They took enough of the book to make a good film and left out some of the more... er... yucky stuff. Plus, Tobey Maguire was BORN to play Homer Wells.
But most books that you really love make lousy films.
Since when has FYC stood for 'For Your Criticism' rather than 'For Your Consideration'?
Poor widdle lonely cweature, cast adrift in a strange land, without meds or love and with far too much time on its hands. We must offer sympathy and hope it feels better soon, the widdle precious.
