I didn’t know about that.

Spielberg and Cruise were in VA for the filming of “Mars Attacks”, oh, I mean “War of the Worlds”.

They stopped in a Dairy Queen and IIRC left I life changing tip for a waitress.

Not a Tom fan (in general) but, that was cool.

That was a great remake of the original.. I don’t know why so many people had a problem with that film… I think it was great and have watched it at least 5 times… the only problem with that story itself is the ending doesn’t lend itself to a movie style climax, so, the ending never will work on film unless someone changes the ending, which would be wrong… but other than the ending, I liked the movie, and Cruise in this case (normally don’t like him)… he came across as more of a helpless Joe, not the hero. I liked that portrayal, it made the movie so much more scary… helpless feeling, and not a stupid conclusion like saving the universe with an Apple lap top.
