I'd love to read the book one day, but the movie is not high on my list. From your picture, they look like cockroaches and I absolutly loathe cockroaches.
I lived in Louisiana for 4 years when I was a teen and they grow 'em big down there. They're the state bird-I learned that some actually fly.

We've got 'em that size in Philly too. They lived in the laundry room of my apartment building. Hideous.
