Green Room - Week 26 - Day 4

[clauderainsrm.livejournal.com]

What 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.

My 2 most favorite adaptations are Everything Is Illuminated and Children of Men. Both the books made me want to stab out my eyes with forks, a little bit, and the movies were AMAZING. Absolutely improved on the books and then some.
