I just finished listening to the entire D'Artanion Romances and the Count of Monte Christo and, as someone who has loved the movies, i have come to the conclusion that the writers of the movies loved Dumas' ideas but hated Dumas' writing and endings. It has made the movies feel more like fan fiction to me due to the changes that the movies make. That's not to say i do not still enjoy the movies, i just have to mentally categorize them as fan fiction.

I think that the shark in Jaws is better than the CGI sharks of recent movies. I read the book quite a while ago, and remember the affair between Ellen and Hooper. I prefer Maritn and Ellen in the movie...they have such a comfortable, but loving relationship. And I'm so glad that they went with Richard Dreyfuss instead of some blonde beach boy. The character is so much better because of it.

the shark drowns and so does Quint in the book

I just heard the hobbit as audio book, but unless something was missing the 5 army battle was the worst part, as it was passed by because bilbo gets a stone in The head and wakes up after. I loved the book in many ways as it is told well, but the battle parts was better in the movies even if there is a lot of artistic freedom

Anytime I read the book before watching the movie, I can’t enjoy the movie. The other way around is fine though

When I saw the Rings of Power, I remember the hobbit films. And I find out, that the hobbit is better as the series. I like the hobbit, but I see these films problem.

The book is simply awful

A Clockwork Orange was published the same time The Rolling Stones formed. Their manager used to write notes on the backs of their albums in Burgess's slang. The suits didn't know what it meant and always removed the notes on second printings. Ten years later sci-fi author Ken Bulmer wrote a series of books using a second language much like the Burgess-created Nadsat.

The prom scene is also different because in the movie Carrie soaks everyone with a fire hose and then electrocutes her headteacher holding the microphone with it, setting him on fire. In the book she turns the sprinkler system on after she left the gym, that soaks everyone and then the water is directed at someone near electrical equipment, electrocuting them and starting a fire.

The best movie slasher! Halloween 1978 is much better 2018 🇧🇷 🇺🇸

Would be cool to see you compare Clueless to Emma since it sorta based on Emma but in a "mondern" (90s) setting!

Dude, chill. If you don't like something you don't like it, you don't have to like forcefully like it, to each his own

This sounds like a wild story to get invested in. I have to check it out one day. Great Review!

WOFT

Benchley seemed to rush the endings in his novels, at least with JAWS and The Deep. Almost to the point of being jarring. That said, I do like the end of the novel, though as Benchley admitted having an “explosive” ending the movie was better for it. Overall the book has its good points, it does benefit from the longer form. But the characters are all pretty unlikeable, and the movie finds humanity in them while retaining some of the things that made them who they were in the book.

Ironically Bale's Patrick Bateman is a better bruce wayne than his actual bruce wayne

I hated the mean-spirited tone in the book and the number of racist characters. His mother is racist. Bubba is a white racist. It's terrible

I love every single frame of the movie, and yet I like the book a tad more, which says a lot. :D

Punctuation and grammar change with the times. So judging a book off or those things is superficial and subjective.

Interesting

There is no style of writing, it is what it is. The guy fails at writing properly. The narratives were word salad, and he needs to stop calling magazines "clips". It's a good story, and made for a better movie, but I can't say I'm interested in reading anything else from the guy.

The 1950s BBC version is better than the 80s film. And indeed the 60s film.

First make something that remotely looks like the hobbit, then you can talk, but apparently its so bad that you can do it 2.5 seconds right, like a bunch of pro cgi editors are worse than one editor

Kind of how I see The Shining aside from liking it.

I absolutely hated the book. Couldn’t have cared less about affair. 👎

Agreed 100%. Entertaining as hell

Both versions are good equally

This should’ve been an anthology type series telling a different story each episode of a different character around the world

In the book she slept with Matt 🥺

Me showing my girlfriend the movie but refusing to let her get any of the facts wrong

I think it is a very loaded question to contemplate what is better the movie or the book? Both are 2 different mediums & in this case they both do a great job. Screenplays have to seek what is cinematic something you imagine in d when reading the text.

I especially loved the story of Luigi Vampa!

When Dantes escapes is when the novel REALLY begins! So, Im surprised you dont like it!

The remake was one of my favourite films of the year, I like a slow burn and the fact that it made dance much more part of the plot. I haven't gone back to the original for a long time because Argento's output of recent years makes me worry that he was always a bad film maker who just got lucky a few times

I've just discovered your excellent channel and subscribed. You deserve more sub's !

put down the book after he hurt the dog, it was affecting my mental health but i picked it up again in audiobook form because i hate dnfing books. It makes it slightly easier but the story is just so repetitive. Going out to dinner every night might be fun to do but it's not fun to read about.

Book good Movie better . Mario puzo said if I knew the movie was going to be iconic I'd have written a better book . Others movie that r better cuckoos nest , jaws , LA confidential, forest gump

Do you hate it then ho on yo telling us how graphic and exciting it is.... well this is a shit review by the way book is excellent

The shark is harpooned in the belly and it can't pull the barrels thru the water and it dies. That ending was just awful! The shark's death in the movie was iconic. The novel wins!

It also takes place in Amityville long island not Amity island

Your a Moron ! Thats it and thats all...

Honestly... I would rather have three movies than one... "its not like the book" isnt a valid criticism of a movie... because movies arent books, its an interpretation, the movies arent horrible.. they just arent like the books. Overuse of CGI, shark jumping elves, underveloped characters, those are valid criticisms.... "its not like the book" is a rally cry for nerds who want others to know they read a book.

I'm trying to listen to the new American Psycho Audio book from Amazon, but Adam Wright... my supposed favorite booktuber... keeps buzzing in my ear.

Sorry, but Jack Nicholson is kind of annoying. I don’t know why I feel that way.

The references to God that are peppered throughout the film are there at Jim Caviezel's request. As an ardent Catholic, he made it known that if the references were removed, then he wasn't the right person for the role.

That "guy" is mel brooks son.

The copy i read had a glossary at the end. I did not realise that i struggled reading that book. Once i finished it i saw the glossary.

The reason you prefer the Kubrick version is the same thing that draws me. I appreciate both and have been a long time fan of both. The movie however shows an unquenchable evil, that it submerged into every part of his being and they can not separate Alex from who he is, a diabolical criminal, that went through their "treatment" and came out the other side, a villain who relishes his villainy. And you can take that from someone who has always called themselves AlexDimm.

The last chapter is actually more depressing if you think about it. He's grown up, but he talks about how all kids will go through the violent phase he did, and that it will never end. Especially without the kind of intervention they did on him.

CLOCKWORK ORANGE IS PEOPLE! Wait.
