Q: Books are turned into movies all the time! Turn it around. What movie would make a great book?
Great question, but I am afraid I will fail to answer it! I watch about two tv shows a week that I record so I can watch them whenever I am in-between books, and I can not remember the last time I watched a movie that wasn't a book first. My Fiance thinks I'm crazy at times, but books are so much more interesting to me than movies. The only reason I watch those are to compare them to the book and see how the studio and director decided to interpret things. Now that I think about it, besides Twilight coming out, I can't think of a single movie in theaters right now.
What about you? Or any of you watch any good movies lately?
I had a hard time too with answering because most movies I love were books first.

Hopping through. I saw the new James Bond movie last week. It was actually pretty good and I don't usually like that sort of thing.

Yes. That's true. That's probably why most of us pick from TV shows. LOL. Btw, I really love your font. Looks like really pretty handwriting. ;)

I went old school, with Willow, because so much of today's tv/movies are adaptations of books. New follower via GFC.

I had a hard time picking a book as well, because most movies I watch were already books, or wouldn't be good as a book.
ReplyDeleteThanks for checking out My FF

I have to agree that books are more interesting than movies. I do enjoy watching movies that are made from books if I have already read the book. I only go to the theater if there is something extra special that comes along.
ReplyDeleteFollowing back and looking forward to your posts.
It really was such a hard question to answer, I agree!

I'm like you and don't watch much tv or go see very many movies and what movies I do see are based on books that I have already read so this was a hard question for me too. Thanks for stopping by my FF this week. Old follower :)

I love both movies and books! But I really don't like books turned into movies they always ruin my book! I love the fact that you would rather read than watch TV or a movie! New GFC! Thanks for stopping by my blog!
ReplyDeleteNew follower, I love both, thanks for stopping by and the follow
ReplyDeleteI'm sort of like you, too. I tend to try and watch new movies with actors I really like, and some TV shows, but other then that... books all the way :)
ReplyDeleteFollowing back, have a great weekend! :)
I, too, had a hard time with this question since I see maybe 2 movies a year. =)
ReplyDeleteI'm a new follower and I love the look of your blog!

ReplyDeleteI stuck with Dirty Dancing, a romance I think would make for a fiery read on the page. Or it could totally suck lol!
ReplyDeleteHope you have a great week :)

Hi Alyssa, thanks for stopping by! I chose an action movie because I'd love to read how a writer would describe everything.

I agree, I always find books so much more interesting than a movie! But, my boyfriend is a HUGE movie lover so we argue on that a lot. Haha.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you completely. Movies are no fun because there is no room to imagine. You see what you see.
