Books and movies; why does every great book have to be made into a movie? I hate this blatant commercialization of great literary works. Some authors spend their whole lives working hard at that one elusive award winning novel just for some Hollywood punk director to make it into a movie and earn his quick buck.
But for all those high and mighty sitting on their gallant horses, with raised eyebrows, asking what it is to me, it’s a huge deal. Books, 200 odd pages, sometimes 300, often even more. It takes me an average of 5-6 hours of to read an average sized book. But these instant movies, like the instant “noodles-in-a-cup” phenomenon deliver the book, or some version of the book, to the viewer at a third of the cost. Now how is that justice? Not only did I have to spend a good 4 hours more on reading the same material as some lazy fuck that doesn’t know good literature if it bit him in the arse, I now have to take shit from him as far as his opinions go, which are solely based upon the interpretation of lousy directors and script writers, whose sole aim is to shred one man’s work, no matter how hard he had to try.
