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.

      Why hasn't DC's suspected change on the RBs been highlighted here?

      Sounds like the pressure of all the fans wanting him fired might finally be getting to him... That, or Rico said "trade me now if you aren't going to make me the lead back"

      By TD alt · Posted

      I have been paying so little attention after losses (and wins, actually, because I'm mildly excited by them), that I missed Dave's seeming change of heart on Rico and Chuba.  Just when I criticized him for not being able to make the tough decisions and wanting to be Mr. Politically Correct nice guy, when asked about the timeshare between Chuba and Rico, he says:   "We cannot ignore the fact that Rico has been exceptional in a couple of games and in the opportunities he's had over the last two weeks. He's made some excellent plays, love the tempo and violence that he's running with. And these are all things we're talking about and working through this week as we look back on these last four games and really taking a snapshot of what's been successful for us. These are conversations that we do definitely have to have."   On basically whether or not it was his job to keep the RBs "happy," DC replied:   "Yeah, that's not the goal," he replied. "The goal is to make sure we put the right guys out there. That's my job. So I really do have to look at that and evaluate it and make the best decision for the Panthers, collectively. And for me, I have to make sure I keep it about the football."   So now all of a sudden, he knows his job. Well, some of you might say that he always knew his job. My response is that he surely wasn't putting it into action. You watch what people do, not what they say. And that even applies here. We'll actually see if his actions match the words of his newfound epiphany pertaining to our two top RBs., something that we saw a couple of weeks ago (or at least a week ago).    https://pantherswire.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/panthers/2025/10/27/panthers-week-8-dave-canales-rico-dowdle-chuba-hubbard/86923984007/

      Is Canales digging his own grave?

      By strato · Posted

      Just about everyone I have ever seen that was a first time HC, mostly successful coordinators, said there was stuff they couldn’t have imagined.  Canales only had one season as a coordinator. A steep learning curve should be expected. Help in the form of a mentor would have been a good idea.
