Though that may be true; a movie can be just as entertaining (mostly because you aren't doing any work).Freelancer47 wrote:I'm personally a believer that books should not be made into movies... the book is ALWAYS better.

True, I won't argue that point.
But the whole point of a book is to use your imagination and to enter a whole other world beyond our reality. When I read a book and then watch a move adaption, I find that they have changed the charaters, the storyline, and everything else that I savored and enjoyed as I read. When I read a book, I form an image of this place, these people; and when an actor I never would have seen as one of the characters is placed, it ruins the whole experience.
This is just me, though. My personal experience. But what can I say? These are two different forms of entertainment, and to each their own.

A happy ending is a story that hasn't finished yet.

I'm rather sure that AIO PSYCHE's topic was separate but I don't have any evidence to support my claim. ](./images/smilies/eusa_wall.gif "Brick wall"){kind=small}
If not them I'm a lot more dense than I originally thought.
