So I just watched "Edge of Tomorrow", and the movie is based on a japanese light novel/manga called "All you need is Kill".

 

outside of the power suits not being as cool, the movie beats the books it's based on hands down, better plot development, better character development and a better ending.

 

So any shows/movies you feel did a better job then the books?  Reason being I usually like the books better.

 

Another series that was better in the movies then the books is the bourne series.  the bourne identity was a good book, the supremacy, was ok and the ultimatum was garbage. while all the movies were awesome.

LOTR. The books are too long and filled with singing.

 

Totally agreed there.  Have you ever tried to read his other book semi-connected with LOTR? The Silmarillion.  My god talk about wanting to pull the eyes out of your head.  Dude was seriously high when he wrote that.

No Country For Old Men. McCarthy made that book hard for me to read, but also saw the move first.

On the other hand, loved the book The Road by McCarthy, which had a subpar movie.

Choke is possibly my all time favorite book, but the movie super sucked.

 

I liked the movie for The Road. It was supposed to be incredibly bleak. Book was still better IMO, but it usually is.

      I noticed Canales commented on King having a live arm. Weinke coached him and said he could make any throw an NFL team would ask him to make.  His mechanics and general process of throwing looks a little wonky to me though. Haven’t really zoomed in on that though to say more.     Brazzell, his hands look at least decent to me and of course his speed is there.   Love his balance.  Like a cat, always comes down on his feet. Not his butt.

      Vrabel and Russini? Athletic investigating.

      If Veabel is the father the name, unfortunately…. well you are looking at Mike Jr.    I feel bad for the husband And the kid though. Especially the kid who had no hand in anything and is just a victim.   Most people would develop some pretty big issues around the chaos of finding out nothing you were told about your father was true and you have been calling the wrong guy Dad.  And trusting your mother, well that is over too.     She should be permanently burned as a reporter or rumor reporter. Whatever she I was.    Who can trust anything she says?   Vrabel has outed himself as a total phony. No credibility whatsoever.

      Jaycee Horn Contract Restructured

      My worry is about his concussion. Concussions.  Last thing we need is for him to  be like Jewel. I am looking forward to him benefiting from better players around him in the defense.  Defending QBs under a little more pressure than the last few years.  Better coverage defense in front of him in the middle.
