I was thinking that we might do one of those battle things. I list a book that was adapted into a movie, and we could vote to see which people think is better. After about ten votes Ill put up a new one.

Allright? Here we go.
First challenge is
Red Dragon
Book vs Movie

BOOK!!!!!!!! I haven't seen the movie yet but so far all adaptations can never compare to the books. So I'm just going with my insinct on this one.

Your right by saying that we can't compare a movie and a book… bout just because they are tow different medias with his advantages and disadvantages. For example a book can contain a lot more of information than a movie can, on the other hand a movie contains the sound and visual factor that a book don’t.
Whoever we can like most a book than a movie or vise versa because likes and dislikes are personals thinks that can’t be argued neither contradicts and that had nothing to do with good, bad or any rational thought.

And in this case I like the movie most than the book.

I didnt think it was that bad. Sure it had its flaws, but IMO it made up for them nicely with that ending...

Anyway, Hannibal was a lot worse.
