yeah, i cant stand those darn book reading people who ruin my movie going experience. they either complain because a perfectly good movie ruined their favorite book, or they get all high and mighty about some lousy movie is all great and meaningfull because off odd references to important parts that were never shown.

I mean, if it wasnt good enough to be in the film, how good can it be? Progress man, progress. Now that we have moving pictures, we should burn the libraries so these holier-than-thou pricks wont ruin our time at the theatre with their incesant *****ing.

I read the book Stargate before I ever knew it was being made into a movie. The movie was slightly differant than that book, better in many ways, but had far less depth than the book had. Still, I enjoyed the book and the movie.

I read the book Sphere long before I ever saw the movie. The book was brillant, the movie sucked *** horribly. Too short, missed many keep points, and generally was a lack luster production trying to skim through to the big bucks because of the all star cast who had no fricking clue about the hack job the movie was doing to the book. Even the writer Micheal Criton felt unsatisfied by the way the producer and director chose to make his film. They took good point out of the book, but failed to back them up with the other key points. The movie was way to short, and could have been better.
However, after seeing the movie again recently I must say that it was an enjoyable short movie.

I learned my lesson not to read the books before seeing the movies. My bad.
