Yes. The book is far better, mind you so is Fear and loathing in Las Vegas and Starship Troopers and.... and......
seems to be true of most book to film efforts.



How rubbish was "Dream-catcher??"

"No bounce? No play?" no bloody good more like

It's based on his book yeah. I thought it was alright for what it was which was alright.

just watched the wrestler. thought it was pretty good but nothing special

i'm surprised at that the reviews are tugging over it!
Off to see valkyrie next week!

The live action Thunderbirds movie was a massive own-goal. It could have been great, but instead they didn't let Gerry Anderson anywhere near it and gave it to the beared bloke off Star Trek Next Generation to turn it in to something akin to Spy Kids meets one long product placement for Ford.

The Avengers moive was one long endless pile of unwatchable poop. One of the few films I have sat down to watch and never got more than half way through it without switching off and shaking my head.

I even though Quantum Of Solace was vaslt overhyped compared to Casino Royale, with unfathomable action sequences and the bit where M gets shot, but she doesn't.

Yeah I've seen that, he's done better stories!

There remaking "It" to be released next year. It will be a made-for-tv film like last time round but will be 4 hours long and will be all directly from the book unlike the last one. I loved "It" the film and t me up when I was a kid but when I read the book alot of it was different!

There is but one rule of film-making - you cannot re-make a film better than the original if the original was made in an era of greater creativity.

It sounds like it could make me puke from my anus. I've got IT on doovde. When I bought it I hadn't seen it and was quite high, I was with my mate in HMV and he said it's good and couldn't believe I hadn't seen it, so I bought it. It's 2 doovdes. So I stuck the first one on and watched it and it finished when that guy kills himself in the bath (Is his name Stan?). Well I thought that's how it ended and turned it off. Thought it was really bad. Didn't know it continued on the second disc did I? Thought the other disc was just extras and all that junk. Two years later I finished the film. TRUE STORY.

The books alot better than the film. Did freak me out when I watched it when it was first on tv around 91-92 I think but saw it about a year ago and didn't think much of it but if there making it like the book it should be good!

Like Steve Martin as Sgt Bilko ?

Can anybody name any remake that is better than the original?
Why can't the film-makers come up with original material?

Casino royale.
King Kong.
The longest yard.

Ocean's Eleven
War Of The Worlds
The Wizard Of Oz
