although it is sometimes hard to put so many elements of a novel into a 2 hour screenplay and motion picture and you end up reading the book and then watching the movie and wish they would have included stuff they left out.
however there are sometimes when you might watch the movie and end up more impressed with the movie and grown more attached to the movie than the book.
can you think of any movies you thought were better than the book it was based on?
I got half way through the second LOTR book before I just couldn't take it anymore.
The big one for me is Ghostworld. I love the comic-book/graphic novel (I even have my hardcover signed by Dan Clowes), but it wasn't written with the idea of making a movie out of it. Clowes did have a lot of input into the changes and it's one of my favorite movies.
i have been inactive for about 3-4 years they want to meet with me(sure took them a long time) i'm not to sure what angle to go with.
i definitively do not believe in the borg.
any more but not too sure about the bible( still searching ).
Walk into the meeting with a copy of CoC in hand.

my husband and i watched a sermon today and it was eerily familiar, very weird.
go to this website and look at their magazines, twins i swear!
Weird. I was looking at one article and they sure liked to highlight "truth" a lot.
after i found out the truth abouth the troof, i could not--- i mean physically could not---- sing a note of a jw song at a meeting.. this was way before i decided to make a plan and a final break.
this happen to anyone?.
I could never stand to sing those songs anyways.
You know what this thread means though, right? Soon there will be an official anouncement that anyone not singing is to be shunned!
yay!
formula 1 is back!!!
and lewis hamilton http://www.lewishamilton.com/ the first ever black driver for formula 1 grand prix racing already got placed 2nd in the australian qualifying round.
Once upon a time I watched F1 religiously. Now with my 70 something channels on cable, I never get it.
a couple of my old witness girlfriends came over last night (note-i only recently left the org.
like 2 months ago, so people are still trying to get me to come back and "reason" with me)...and they used that stupid "counterfeit money" illustration.
i swear, every time i tell people i don't think it's the truth, they put that old illustration on me!
I've never heard that particular one, but it really shows that they haven't taken a critical thinking class.
i am collecting guitar musicians.......their music.
i am collecting great perfomances.....rare ones of musicians that would not otherwise be together......
i wold love your input.........and would share music with those interested.
Even before I knew his name, I always thought this was a great piece of work:
big red.
she's 8 feet now and growing.
yesterday she asked if it was really so i couldn't eat of the tree in the middle of the garden..
Looks great!
I have 4 snakes myself. 3 ball pythons and a white-lipped python. I've had others, several false water cobras, other obscure pythons. I almost bought a yellow anaconda once but I got over any desire to own one of the larger snakes.
Wha...wha...what?!?!?!
a comment by rubadub in the thread about learning new things at the meetings made me remember something, and gave me a chuckle.. i would always see how fast i could look up the scriptures during the talks, and race to beat most everyone else.
of course everyone else didn't realize i was racing them, but i'd always feel a smug (and perhaps a bit self-righteous) satisfaction at having the scripture looked up and ready to follow along while from the sights and sounds around me most everyone else was still looking it up.
being able to look up jehovah's word with such speed would surely earn me spiritual brownie points.
I didn't race anyone, but I did look them up as fast as possible out of boredom.
