Well the movie sub-forum is a lot more popular it seems but I struggle to think of many movies I have seen that are better than the book.
I love descriptions that I can interpret in my own head, creat my own faces, places and expressions. Seeing someone else's image of the descriptions usually leaves me cold. Don't get me wrong, I love movies, they are much easier to digest and take much less time but I don't get so involved. When I read I often think deeply about the story & as it takes me much longer to read I think about it for longer (hence more deeply I guess) so I feel more involved.
the only movie I can think that I preferred to the book was American Psycho just because I don't want such detailed descriptions of Phil Collins
obviously I am not counting the kind of books that were written with a movie in mind. I saw at the bookshop the other day "Terminator Salvation" which I can guess is not a rivetting read.
So what do you guys think?
Is anyone here?
