Yep, nothing to add Cosmin!
But you should never underestimate the fun you can have when you go to the movies with good friends (or a nice girl)...  Christian -------------------- |

, I am not much of a book guy, I don't think I actually have read a book from the start to the end 
I'm going to start calling you Hugh Hefner...

The last books I've read (that have movies based on them) were Shutter Island and Prestige.
I really love reading filmed books - anyone have any recommendations ? -------------------- For GMC support please email support (at) guitarmasterclass.net

In my opinion books are way better than movies. Every book I've read is better than its screen version. You may laught at me, but I've read Twillight saga
 and I should say that it is not as bad as the movie. I even liked it

I like movies that are made from books. The are also some new series, like the Game of Thrones, that is also based on a book, and the story and production is excellent, movie like, but with the feel of a series (and it lasts longer than a movie, which is good - more to watch)

Book, in any case, but it takes time, good mood, a bottle of good wine (preferably fireplace, snow outside ..)

QUOTE (rokchik @ Jun 4 2011, 08:16 PM)  ... Also anything by Cormac McCarthy like The Road or No Country for Old Men. ... Someone should really film the entire Border trilogy .I prefer books but some film adaptations can work. Very often, for me, short stories and novellas translate to film much better than a full novel, perhaps because the narrative is brief enough for a film to do it justice. Joyce´s The Dead is a good example - wonderful short story and film adaptation. Another more recent example is The Boy in the Stripped Pajamas. Also maybe PK Dick´s Do Androids Dream..., which was filmed as Bladerunner. Here the film compliments rather than just offers a straight adaptation One exception for a full length book is Ishiguru´s The Remains of the Day - personally I found the book torturous but enjoyed and far prefer the film. (I like Ishiguru normally but not The Remains...) -------------------- Get your music professionally mastered by anl AES registered Mastering Engineer.

I say both!
Although movies always leave stuff untold, or might not be what I imagined in the first place, I usually have lots of fun watching movies of books I've read. On the other hand I sometimes discover nice books thanks to the movies too! -------------------- Guitars:
