[QUOTE=Slavakion]I'll be the wet blanket and say that I wish NO books to be made into movies. They're never as good as the original, and a good 80% of the time suck ass.[/QUOTE
I agree. It's rare to have an adaptation that is a work of art in its own right. I don't know why movie creators don't focus on creating new original works that use the strength of the medium rather than adapting things created for an entirely different medium. Books are written with text in mind - they rely on things like 3rd-person narration, metaphor, allusion, and all the other qualities of books to tell their story. Movies have different strengths, and new stories should be created that use those strengths, instead of just plundering the work of authors.
