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 favorite in that I actually own it is Interview with the Vampire. I wish they had let Louis run off with Armand in the movie like he did in the book but I guess that would have been too gay. *rolleyes*

I have mixed feelings about making books into movies. I went to a Terry Brooks reading once where he quoted (I think) George R.R. Martin who said "Having your book made into a movie is like having your children kidnapped by a cult."
