therealljidolWhat is your favorite book-turned-movie/movie-turned-book? (TV shows count)
Do you find it better when they follow the original note-for-note or go off in their own directions and interpretations? (That's more for TV shows, since they have more time and space to accomplish that)
What have been some of your *least* favorite adaptations and why do you think they failed?
One thing that *won't* fail is that the topic for the main competition is here: http://therealljidol.livejournal.com/797204.html
and Last Chance Idol has their topic over here: http://therealljidol.livejournal.com/797508.html
So make sure to get your entries in by tomorrow!
Now excuse me for a few minutes - I have a red-handled machete and some promises to keep.

Date: 2014-10-27 05:28 pm (UTC)I also thought "The Accidental Tourist" was done well, even though Geena Davis didn't quite match the behavior I expected of the character... the whole of the movie worked really well.
And I'm a pretty harsh critic when it comes to things like that, since the movie version of a book usually disappoints me!
ETA: For TV work, I also like the HBO adaptation of "The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency." Terrific casting, and while the 'mysteries' happen in different order from the book, that doesn't change the overall impact of the series. I only wish they'd been able to make more episodes... :(
