October 6, 200520 yr QUOTE(qwerty @ Oct 6, 2005 -> 06:34 PM) Which is the case for probally ever book made into a movie. yeah pretty much. cant really think of an exception off the top of my head
October 7, 200520 yr books >>>>> movies One exception off the top of my head - I would nominate The Godfather movies as superior to Puzo’s novel. Re “not the only gay in the village” quote from the linked article: I just discovered Little Britain this year; am watching episodes from 2003. God, it is hysterical in parts. Trust those wacky Brits to do drag perfectly. Edited October 7, 200520 yr by Mercy!
October 7, 200520 yr QUOTE(Reddy @ Oct 6, 2005 -> 04:37 PM) yeah pretty much. cant really think of an exception off the top of my head Both "The Shawshank Redemption" and "Stand By Me" are pretty close, if not better than, the literary versions from Stephen King's "Different Seasons."

October 7, 200520 yr Both "The Shawshank Redemption" and "Stand By Me" are pretty close, if not better than, the literary versions from Stephen King's "Different Seasons." Isn't ANY Stephen King movie adaptation << any Stephen King "literary" work?
October 7, 200520 yr QUOTE(Mercy! @ Oct 6, 2005 -> 09:04 PM) Isn't ANY Stephen King movie adaptation Well, Shawshank and Stand By Me are both actually really close to the book versions. I don't think too many changes were made. Different Seasons was a great book (4 novellas) that I'd recommend to anyone.
October 7, 200520 yr QUOTE(Mercy! @ Oct 6, 2005 -> 11:04 PM) Isn't ANY Stephen King movie adaptation For most full-length novels that is true, with Carrie, the Shining, and possibly teh original Dead Zone being the exceptions. For the short stories like hawshank and The Body (= Stand By Me) I'd say no, the fleshing out of the story in teh feature-length treatment gave the stories depth that the short stories didn't achieve.
