Books Vs. Movies

[John Excell II]

Which do
you prefer books or movies!

It depends what book I'm reading
&definitely what movies that I watch!!

 

[Walter Oobleck]

depends on my mood...but usually i'm in the mood for books

 

[CrimsonKingAH]

Both..

 

[Debbie913]

I guess it sometimes depends. If I can get the same story from both, I prefer the book every time. So, I voted for books.

I agree, but I like movies too, so I voted "both".

 

[Pucker]

For me reading a book is very much like playing a movie in my head, except that I get to cast it.

I've seen some pretty good adaptations (and I've seen some horrendous ones), but the best movies are the ones I make . . . with more than a little help from the author.

If you really want to have some fun, talk to people who write movie "treatments" and then watch the money people make entirely different movies (or none at all).

Books mostly but, when done well, a good movie.

 

[king family fan]

Both... but read book first

 

[Kurben]

Books, no doubt.

 

[CriticAndProud]

I'm the only person who has voted for movies thus far.

 

[SpazzTheBassPlayer]

I much prefer books but will opt for a movie over a book on rare occasions. An example for me is "Lord Of The Rings" -- it was WAY smoother to digest in movie-form than the book
