Topic: Books that Should be Movies

@Chocobo: Glad to hear it. I did assume that's what you meant, but I felt it needed to be said, lest the conversation tend toward "Books are the only good way to tell a story." I love a good, classic print-and-paper book, myself, but I'm not one to think art is better in one form than another. As long as it stays truly artful, I don't care if I'm watching a stop-motion silent film made with discarded soda cans.

Mystery by Peter Straub.

Off-Topic: Anyway, I think what makes books amazing is that, there's that sense of adventure. We're basically entering a new world only as unique as how far our comprehensibility goes. On the other hand, a movie is static, it's never going to change apart from the writer/director's vision.

Best. Book. Ever.

Great...this has now become a junky, off-topic thread...sigh...

I fail to see how the discussion of books and their translation to film is off-topic...? Sorry if things didn't turn out the way you planned, i suppose :3

_{knock it off — TBD}

i always wished they'd done more in the 'gorky park' series, especially 'polar star'. i love the character of arcady renko.

Captain Underpants (I don't like the book anymore) but Id like to see what it be like just for the heck of it

For Ender's Game... it's being released in 2013 I believe, but it's gonna be cruddy prolly. Starring this guy as Ender and I'm guessing Harrison Ford as Graff. Is that his name? I don't remember...
