"The book was better."

11:35 AM

Ugh. I hate that phrase. Maybe I'm being a hypocrite here, 'cause I'm sure I've probably said something similar when it comes to video game movies (NEMESIS a good guy, huh?), but I hate it when people rag on a movie that's been adapted from a book, saying crap like, "That's not how it was in the book!" Especially if the book is from a looong time ago. I did some research on "The Amityville Horror" and the 2005 remake. Someone asked why Jodie's spirit in the remake was the only one present and some other logical questions about the movie's plot. But did anyone answer the question? Noooo, they just went "OMGWTF, she was supposed to be a pig!" And there were more comparisons between the book and the 1979 film and the 2005 film, eventhough the original quesiton had nothing to do with that crap.

If you rag on the movie for not being like the book, read the damn book instead.

Yeah, I'm being hyopcritical with the whole video game movie thing, but I didn't complaing about Silent Hill being different from the games, and I thought the original Mortal Kombat movie was a good adaptation of the games, but those Resident Evil movies are shiz. But, hey, I've never actually seen the Resident Evil movies, so I guess I'm not being hypocritical, because I choose not to see them.
