Ok. One thing that pretencious people with too much free time will always be able to do is find boxes to stand on and yell loudly "The Book Was Better!"
So... Learn something. If you wanna think and learn something, pick up another book. If you wanna waist a couple hours, go to a movie. Personally, I'm sick of people expecting a perfect translation from a 400 page book to a two hour movie. Adjust your expectations, please!
If you really loved a book, see the movie to enjoy someone elses take on it. You've already read the book, right?
Otherwise, do what I do. I have refused to see movies because I didn't want to see the book butchered.
Here's an idea: Lets dig up a few dead authors, tape them to long stakes attached to generators, and make bad movies of their books.
Then just let them rotate away! Free power!
