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.

      Houston Texans... You Suck!!!

      I mean I think its a bit disingenuous to call basically anyone here a casual fan. I don't think the casual fan creates a profile then logs into it, in the offseason, to comments on mundane offseason topics.. I dont think anyone on here would be considered a casual fan. That said, I get your point. My POV is from the player. They sign this contract, move their family because of these contracts. When Clowney came him, we basically had a coming home party for him.  So yeah, I get why we did it and I know that ultimately the owner doesnt 'save' money, but I can feel for the human side of the player, which is why I want them to get all they can while they can.

      My guess is the NBA will either send Flagg back “home” to the Northeast in Brooklyn or Washington, or San Antonio so that they can keep building around Wemby. If I was a betting man I would take the odds on the Spurs. This definitely feels like a #1 pick that they will rig.

      Some...concerning UNC / Belichick news

      In fairness, she is ensuring she is talked about.  People really aren’t going out there way to bring her up.  It’s some weird poo.  She would end up getting talked about given her actions if she was 40. Bill realizing some of these high end “companions” got a game of their own.  That’s what I don’t think Bill saw coming.
