Bourne series...F&** it all to hell. Bastards.



The first one did ok iirc, but when they killed marie it kinda ruined it. I still liked the movies though.

I really was disappointed with The Hunger Games. I felt like they left a lot out in the translation, not to mention the way the majority of it was filmed. I think I could have held a camera steadier than they did.

I'm both excited and scared for the visual edition of The Dark Tower series. It's one of my favorite reads and I really hope they don't screw it up.

Hey Norm, you hear about the studies being done at Johns Hopkins about the Y chromosome of persistent bar troublemakers?
Yeah, they found a striking similarity between that and chronic droolers and idiots.

WHAT!?

Maybe my favorite B-movie of all time. Love that show. Can (and have) watched it 100 times.

The Golden Compass turned one of the book villains into a movie hero, and it combined a couple of other characters into nonsensical trash. I doubt it was the *worst* ever, but it was pretty bad. At least they left the most unwatchable scene for last.

i think, of all the books i've read and then seen the movie for, two towers pissed me off the most. i still don't understand the decision to change faromir so greatly. complete 180 on his personality and what he did when he found out about the ring for NO reason. i don't get it and it really pissed me off.

i also think the harry potter movies after chamber of secrets progressively got worse (mostly because the books got longer and they kept changing directors.) to the point of being unwatchably bad to me.



There were lots of things in LotR that should and could have been done better...but none of them are BAD movies. And they would have had to have been 5 hours long to have been good adaptations of the books...so I don't think it's fair to count them...The books themselves are fairly long and cover a LOT of material...I just hope to God they don't screw up The Hobbit, because I will seriously consider hurting someone if they do it badly.

and I though the harry potter movies were all pretty good too. They definitely left out a lot of stuff that shouldn't have been...I can't think of any examples in particular, I just remember after I read the books (which I did after the first five or so movies had already been released) there was a lot of stuff I wish had been in them....but in general, still good movies.


there aren't a lot of books I've read which have been turned into movies...I read most of The Golden Compass, and it had a fair amount in it that was missing...but I can't comment on it too much, because I got bored with the book and stopped reading it.


uhm.. i didn't say they were bad movies? i just felt that the EXTREME change to one of the most noble men in the book pushed it over into being one of the worst translations i've ever seen. i don't watch many movies of books i've read. i always hate them. and i absolutely loathed two towers because of the faromir thing.


jezza, i've seen that dragonlance cartoon and i agree with you 100%. i was SO BAD. i couldn't even watch more than 10 minutes of it.
