        The second one was decent except for the beginning. But yeah, it was definitely inferior to the book, similar to most adaptations. This is the case with most literature except for when the book was never that good or well defined to begin with and was only ever reactionary or overrated. For example, American Psycho and Fight club were only good when the directors added to the story.

      that's part of it. but also shit like narration/inner monologue comes off a lot better in a book than a movie where it is often cheesy even when using the exact some language as the book. hell, for dialogue in general, books are way more forgiving. cringey dialogue when read is a lot easier to overlook than hearing it said aloud (whether they realize it or not, this is a big reason why westerners prefer subtitled anime to dubbed anime).

      plus just stuff like descriptions of the setting or situations have a lot more room to be fleshed out and draw attention to certain details that might be relevant later in text. in a movie, this can be hard to translate without narration (which as said above, often comes off cheesy in a movie).

      they are just very different forms of media. a movie is supposed to be consume in one sitting so that puts constraints on how long it can be. it also runs at a set rate so it can't be too complex or people get lost. a book can be however long it needs to be since it will usually not be finished in one sitting and if someone needs to go re-read a paragraph to understand something it's not a big deal.

      good movies should focus on the visual aspect of film as a medium, just trying to recreate a book that doesn't benefit from the visual medium means it's basically guaranteed to be shit or at least very different from the book (which can sometimes end up being a good thing, but often not if the book was already good and a shitty screenwriter is just trying to churn something out when adapting it)

      This is so moronic. If you can really see like 6, blindfold a man and ask them to "imagine" the room they are in. They cannot navigate it. They will stumble around.

      The issue is that you don't literally see things with your mind's eye. Can you close your eyes and retain the clarity of literal vision you have with your eyes open? You should be able to imagine and remember visually with your eyes open, they are visual but not literally seen invading your sight.

      People with that condition can only recall words or sensations. That is if you tell them red star they can only contemplate the words "red star", if they are told to imagine a coffee they can only imagine the taste of it and so on.

    Why I wouldnt call the LOTR movies better than the books, they definitely fix the issues I had with them.

    Most prominently Tolkien's complete inability to write or utilize drama correctly.
    Everything is just descriptive linearity without any proper utilization of hte material.

    Also ironically, the Hobbit movies, despite being generally shit, examplify this even better.
    For example Lake town.

    In the book, the dwarfs arrive, stock up, get invited to the major's dinner, and then move on.
    That's it. All of that in Tolkien's typical descriptive linearity without anything happening.
    Except at the very end, when there's one single line about the mayor being surprised when the dwarfs actually moved on, because he though them to be frauds.

    Now THAT is the interest part about the entire stay. Every single drama teacher, highschool or uni would tell you to do something with that. Because thats the interesting dramatic element to their stay in lake town.
    Same with the barrel riding sequence. In the books, literally nothing happens despite the situation being absolutely PREDESTINED for something interesting. the movie did go overboard here tho, no contest.

    And I feel this is even more prevalent in LOTR because it is inherently a lot more dramatic than the Hobbit.
    Which is why I put the movies on a high pedestal. They literally fix Tolkien's faults.

    Let me tell you something about this nonsensical peer into King's fricked up head. It is boring to no end. There are moronic paranormal happenings like "spooky bushes" that come to life and blue avatar people. And I'd say 35% of it is dedicated to Jack having fond memories of beating the shit out of his kid and wife back in Colorado. And another third is dedicated to the black guy traveling back to the hotel.
    The fact that King thinks that Kubrick butchered the book is laughable. The fact that Kubrick took just the premise and made it better is impressive. SHIT book. Good movie. In terms of horror, one of the best.

      films can be better if the book wasn't very good to begin with, or with the film decides to focus on a certain aspect of the story that's more interesting than whatever the author focused on.

        but even then the column cut out is pretty much the same width as the hole, i don't know of any annular cutters that thin

          Why do you think it was actually cut out? There's zero marking on the print itself. All 3 pieces probably didn't even come out of the same tree, let alone original template.

    Not really. Also books are gay. You really think shit like HP, Twilight and LOTRs would be cultural icons still if it didn't have a movie? No one gives a shit about books, specially now, and if you don't get a movie or some high production TV show then your book is more than likely ass.

    Try finding a good book these days. Go ahead. Just try to do it. Your first instinct might be to google a list of good books, but you'd be wrong. Every list you'd turn up has the same "classics" on it peppered with globohomo-promoted Black person homosexual authors writing about their gooch or something equally gay. It is impossible to find an even decent book that you haven't already read on your own or had assigned to you in school (and most of those school books are equally gay). You will, in your entire lifetime, read maybe 4 or 5 good books. Prove me wrong.

      The fact that Kill Team One exists already proves you wrong.

      The Kill Team One books are basically the novel equivalent to the Crank movies and I love them so much.

          Its literal gun porn.

          A quarter of the way into the first book, the main character gets a goth stripper girlfriend, and he fricks her on-top of a pile of guns.

          And this is before the plot kicks into high gear.

          Ok, I see I haven't sold you on this awesome book series yet. A few moments in it are as follows
          >The main character, Sid Hansen, fights a ninja who can cut bullets in half
          >The main bad guy, Victor Hansen, kills a group of special forces soldiers with a shuriken made out of old newspapers
          >There's a scene where Sid kills a man with a plastic straw
          >Sid kills his brother by crushing him in a trash compactor
          and so much more that I'm not gonna spoil because this book is just soooooooooooooooooooo cool, and the sequels manage to be even better, especially the 3rd and 5th books.

          does he say a prayer for israel

          No, but in the 5th book, we get to see him shoot a rabbi for being annoying.

      1, Don't read books made in the last 5 years
      2. Don't take recommendations from lists made in the last 5 years

        I disagree with the first one, I think there's plenty of books made in the last 5 years that are really good, but I agree with the second one. Thinking for yourself is the way to go. It results in finding awesome masterpieces like Cripple Wolf, The Boy With the Chainsaw Heart, and I Knocked Up Satan's Daughter.

        Also don't go on Cinemaphile if you want good book recommendations. They just talk about politics and can't discuss any books that haven't been assigned as a High School book report. Just read what looks interesting to you and go from there.

      nah that's bullshit, plenty of good shit to read. just go look at one of Cinemaphile's top 100 lists and start there. you're right that you can't just trust oprah's bookclub or the new york time's best seller lists to not be pozzed trash but that doesn't mean there are no good books.

    they are different arts, people only compare both because they lack the sensibilities to think of what makes a good film so they just compare the story and of course the original book always have a more developed story than a movie

    As much as I can admire the raw creativity you can get away with in literature, most writers are books are just batshit fricking insane and more often than not anything good enough to get a film adaptation is just getting all the good ideas cut out from the bad.

    Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy movie isnt better than the book, but the movie made it a lot easier to enjoy the story. Douglas Adams is a fantastic author, but the way he writes is hard to read.

    Two Stephen King adaptations since he can not wrap up his stories.Carrie( de Palma version) and The Shining.
    One were both were good is Rebecca by Daphne de Maurier and the Hitchwiener adaptation.The latter loses tension in the second act but is still a 7-8 /10 movie same as the book.
