I hear Denis Johnson is sick, but I dunno. yo man... just curious, but have you (or anyone else who reads alot) ever come across a movie that was better than it's literary counterpart ? i've havent come across a movie yet where i thought, yeah that was heaps better than the book. i guess i must just have a more creative imagination than most of the movie producers out there.. j/k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Canadiano Posted August 13, 2002 Share Posted August 13, 2002 avils, the only thing I can come up with after a moment's thinking would be The Godfather by Mario Puzo. The book was amazing, and the movie was just as good (if memory serves me right). I've read the book enough times, but it was years ago the last time I read it; same goes for the movie. At least the movie had sequels, no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the Road was written more as a novel. Dharma definitely made me reflect, but On The Road had a great story. Both are amazing. Big Sur is next on my list. I just finished Choke by dude who wrote Fight Club. It's top notch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EatMorGlue Posted August 13, 2002 Share Posted August 13, 2002 zesto, i'd be interested to read your screenplay - gluetown@hotmail.com and anybody else who feels like sharing, feel free to go ahead and send your work too. right now i'm working through faulkner's _the sound and the fury_ for the first time since i read it in high school five years ago in hopes that i'll make more sense of it this time. as far as poetry goes.. rereading wright's _the night world and the world night_ whenever i feel the urge, and kleinzhaler's _green sees things in waves_ too. i've picked through denis johnson's _the incognito lounge_ and have liked what i've read so far.

Guest --zeSto-- Posted August 13, 2002 Share Posted August 13, 2002 Originally posted by El Mamerro The Day of the Jackal. Great book, but absolutely stunning movie. true! I based an Huge report on the Charles De Gaulle item. I showed and excert and even 'put a berret on my wang' (Homer quote) The movie was such a classic thriller, and it held true to the themes. Oh.. you're talking about the first movie right? Another example, The Shining. Sure it wasn't really all that true to the book, and there were massive omissions, but the style that Kubrick used gives the film a life of it's own. simply, Kubrick was a better director than Stephen King is a writer.

Guest Canadiano Posted August 13, 2002 Share Posted August 13, 2002 I hear that a new Hannibal movie is coming out called Hannibal the Conquerer. It's starring Vin Diesel. I still haven't read Crime and Punishment, but I hear it's good. The only Dostoevsky I read was House of the Dead, and the school made me give it back when I had just a few chapters left. Never picked it back up after that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest --zeSto-- Posted August 13, 2002 Share Posted August 13, 2002 ^ Hannibal? It's going to be out this year and it's called Red Dragon. no vin I hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Canadiano Posted August 13, 2002 Share Posted August 13, 2002 you might be right about the title, but on the Daily Show with Jon Stewart, Vin himself said he'll be starring in Hannibal the Conquerer, and it will be written by the dude who wrote Gladiator. He mentioned some other sick movie said dude wrote, but I don't remember. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest --zeSto-- Posted August 13, 2002 Share Posted August 13, 2002 ^ haha.. I'm talking about Hanibal LECTOR !! so yeah.. there's a pre-story to Silence of the Lambs coming out. I havent heard about this Vin Disel project, but it's probably true. now I'm super excited for this.... Russel Crowe in MASTER AND COMMANDER !! I dont know if anyone if familiar with this Patrick O'Brien series, but it's the biggest nautical fiction out there. He's doing for Naval England what Stephen King did for Paperback horror. sooo... excited! and... There mayking a book I read recenty, TIMELINE by Michael Crichton into a feature. woo hoo!

Guest imported_El Mamerro Posted August 13, 2002 Share Posted August 13, 2002 The Jackal? Hell no, I have no intentions to let Bruce Willis ruin the wonder of that movie for me. Red Dragon's gonna be dope... they can't possibly fuck up Anthopny Hopkins and Edward Norton in a movie together. I'm scared of Timeline... that book was responisble for getting me back into physics, wonderful read and again, just as in Jurassic Park, he makes shit veeery believeable. The problem is that some of his books that get made into movies blow goats... the exceptions being JP, Andromeda Strain, Rising Sun, and Disclosure among others. But then you have Congo, Sphere, The 13th Warrior (Eaters of the Dead)... this could go wrong here. Beer, El Mamerro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest im not witty Posted August 13, 2002 Share Posted August 13, 2002 im reading jitterbug perfume by tom robbins. he is hilarious. this is the 5th book of his ive read in a row, still life with woopecker, half asleep in frog pajamas, fierce invalids home from hot climates, another roadside attraction. all great kinky funny as fuck books. i need to switch it up though, im becoming immersed in his style which is very distinctive. and fight club was equally as good a movie as book, even though i saw it before i read it. but chuck pasd;flkdlnuik or whatever is sick too, invisible monsters, choke are awesome books Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got the idea from that right wing bastard who was running for president in France. I forget his name, but that was one of his good ideas. I do look after myself like crazy, but I'm saying that it would be a great way to keep people in check. I don't know, maybe I didn't think too hard about it, but these days, you see a lot of AIDS patients who appear to be very healthy. You know they have those homosexual sex clubs where condoms are not allowed, and the very mention of protection can get you booted. How deviant is that??? There, you have big, buff sexual deviants who are infecting next men who are clean, so to speak, and no one cares. Why? Medication takes care of them. They can live long, healthy, fruitful (no pun intended) lives. It's all fucked up, and that's why I think they should have a small tattoo on their hands that indicate that the person is infected. If not on the hand, then somewhere on the body. That way, at least if you're gonna have sex, look first before entering. This is a serious epedemic, even in the western world, and people spread that shit on purpose. And hey, those homosexuals really should get it tattooed on their face, because a lot of them are the deviants who spread in their community most. It's a fact that in Toronto, HIV is a big 'problem' in the homo community. Dammit, most of those infected fuckers are god damn hardcore deviants! anyway, i may not make sense, 'cuz a good episode of TNG is on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
