I can only imagine what you're proof would be but I'm not all that interested. I think you're desire to prove yourself right and me wrong will trump logic or a chance at a civil discusion in this case so I'll just drop it and say you win bro. Besides it's just my opinion. It might be shared with most readers and movie fans but that doesnt make it wrong/right.
I'm still currious about what movie (s) based on a book turned out better than the book. |

Off the top of my head I can think of two: The Thing and Stephen Kings Mist (I state the latter as King himself has been quoted saying there were elements of the film he wished he had thought of when writing the book - such as the ending).
Stating books are always better than the movies is pretty arrogant. They're two different mediums that need to tell stories in very different ways and everyone has their own preference.
Movies are restricted to a short time frame of a few hours to convey information through audio and visual means. They can present physical actions such as combat, body language, tone and emotion far more effectively because they do so in a way that's familiar to people.
Books on the other hand have the advantage that they can be as long as they need to be and can convey far more detail as pacing is less of an issue. Books can spend time describing or narrating the inner thoughts of characters that gives greater context for their actions, the story doesn't have to be as streamlined. |

For me they've always been better, for reasons I've stated. Yes they're different mediums but on the basis of entertainment, story telling and intellectual stimulation the book will always win... for me. I never said it isn't or shouldn't be somebodies preference to watch a movie. And if they liked a movie more than a book they are wrong.
I haven't read or seen The Mist. Thanks for the suggestion. |

I don't think it's anything you've done specifically, it's just one of the pitfalls when people discuss their personal opinions on the internet (the whole lack of body language thing) :P

i will give it a try
But the book was written as a series of interviews , spread around the world i can imagine that writing a good script like that is pretty hard , they could have made a documantery style film but their would be no single hero and his family that needs saving and noover the top action scenes involving our hero saving the world I do not agree with what you are saying , but i will defend to the death your right to say it......

Hipster post detected!
Anyway, I didn't think the world of the book. It was quite average. I'd like to see a trilogy made out of the Monster Island/Nation/Planet-books, though.
Also, although many may disagree, I find the movie version of American Psycho to be just as good as the book. Other than that and LOTR, I also think that books tend to translate badly into movies. |

Traffic was dire, pretty much doubled the time trying to get through town on any kind of bus or car. I can only guess what they used the money for . . . . |
