I know that I shouldn't inject myself here as no one invited me, but I
do agree with your statement"...isn't that always said about books to
video." It almost always is, but every time I hear someone say that (or
write it) I think of the one time that I did not say that. If you read
"Jaws" and saw the movie, you silently said a "Thank You" to Steven
Spielberg for NOT putting the center of the book in the movie! If you
didn't read the book, [SPOILER ALERT!!!] the entire middle almost was
an affair between the Marine biologist and the cops wife. In the movie,
it would have distracted from the point of the movie by breaking the
continuity of the story. Thanks Stevie! That man has made some of the
best movies ever.
I'll get out of here. I just HAD to say that.
Later...
By the way...any word on JohnCymru? I'm really worried. We lost a great
poster in one of the XviD groups a couple of years ago. She suddenly
stopped and no one knew anything. I sort of miss her even now. She had
a very broad range of likes as far as movies went, and they were always
beautifully posted. Never heard from her again, and I just hope JC is
O.K. He is missed.
Again, Later...
