Everyone bitches about the shitty big screen adaptation of their favorite book(s), but there’s got to be at least one that didn’t suck. Is there a movie that did a book justice? Enjoy this Glibcrostic and let us know in the comments, or don’t, go ahead and make a few puns about cheese or fish or whatever you jerks feel like doing.

While movie and book were very, very different, I will say I enjoyed the movie Forrest Gump a lot more than the book. That’s the only movie/book case in which I can state that.
I’d say The Hunt for Red October is a good case where the movie was at least as good as the book.
No.
The movie wasn’t bad, but it cut out almost everything that made the book interesting.
Holes is spot on. I don’t care, but a friend of a friend wrote the book, so I happened to notice.
Catch-22 is totally fair: incomplete, but fair, and what can you do in only two hours for a masterpiece anyway. I’m willing to concede that A Bridge Too Far had a better cast, but it’s a horse race.
I agree with Don and Juris. Don’t forget “The Longest Day” as well. Both it and ABTF were very close to the books.*
*Casting was an issue sometimes. John Wayne was older than the LTC he portrayed. BG Teddy Roosevelt Jr was frequently mistaken for a muleskinner and not Henry Fonda. But both men played their respective roles well.

Not too bad.
In a way I’m glad the planned MGM production of Ryan’s “The Last Battle” didn’t happen. The Soviet involvement would have sanitized the history of the Red Army’s actions.
Daaaang. I do believe Alton Brown has been downgraded
Maybe Hyperbole prefers Cutthroat Kitchen.
I really enjoyed the PBS adaptation of e=mc2 on NOVA called “Einstein’s Big Idea”
I haven’t read the book, but I’ve heard multiple people say Contact was better in movie form.
Contact was better as a movie.
The Dune movies ( Sting and non-Sting) were good representations of the books. Also the Harry Potter movie series did a good job of adaptation.
I almost laughed my ass off when I took my son and his buddy to see the first HP movie. Two 13yo’s walking out talking about what parts of the book were missing in the movie and what impact that had. I had enjoyed the movie just for the actors and having not read the book it all worked well enough for me.
The HP movies were better than the books. She tells good stories but she’s not exactly a “great” writer.
Because I don’t get hung up in fanboi dick-measuring over meaningless trivia, I thought the LOTR movies were really good. Right up until they drug out the ending about 20 minutes too long.
I liked those too. Pretty good for a modern audience.
I’ve never been able to plod my way through the books, so the LOTR movies were very much appreciated (and thoroughly enjoyed.)
Was it all the songs? Or the 200 pages of talking at the council?
I think it was the painstaking (with the emphasis on “pain”) detail of the description of Every. Step. Of. The. Entire. Journey.
This. It felt like every blade of grass between the Shire and Mount Doom was getting its own chapter. Never made it past Tom Bombadil, and I tried more than once.
HHGTTG without the humor?
Hadn’t ever thought of it that way, but…maybe?
Yes.
Same. I’ll probably never get to the books even though they are sitting on the shelf.
They read quicker than the number of pages implies, particularly when sometimes large swaths are written in elvish, only to be explained in English.
Yes, you are right about the ending. I thought the third movie was really weak, and no where near as good as the book, but that is just quibbling.U
The movie ending was much shorter than the book.
Also, while I get cutting Tom Bombadil (although it pisses me off), i think the scouring of the shire was too important to cut.
Cutting that removed so much of the point of the entire story.
The scouring of the shire is important, in the book. In a movie, were you have limited time to tell your story, you have to decide what to cut and what to keep. The Scouring would take a forth movie to show.
Two other parts that o thought were important that were left out aside from Bombadil.
Boromir being put in the boat with all the weapons of those he kills redeeming himself.
The fact that Samwise was married. The story is about Sam afterall and this is a huge conflict for him. Home and hearth vs a great duty.
Maybe they could have cut the entirely made up hang around with Faramir sequence?
With a book, you can put it down and go take a piss. When a movie drags out an ending (or four) over 30 damn minutes, it is in every way worse than the book.
Let me introduce you to an invention called “The Pause Button”.
I assume you are unfamiliar with the movie theater, and its relationship to dating?
It is where dating goes to die. I mean you are taking someone to a torment hall.
UCS, like Travis Bickle, took his date to a porno movie.
Who pays for porn?
My buddy brought a first date to Boogie Nights, not quite realizing what it was about.
There was no second date.
I took a date to see The Wall. It didn’t go well.
Reminds me of my [older] brother taking a date to Straw Dogs (the original with Hoffman), and that not going well either.
I acceded to attend “Grease” with a date. Apparently I fell asleep during it. When I woke up with the lights back on and the crowd departing there was no sign of my date. There was no further dating that young woman.
The Hobbit movies on the other hand…
I never read the books, but I think you could quite easily trim 75 minutes off of each LOTR entry without any noticeable loss of quality.
I was like Elaine at The English Patient, “they make it longer?”
I only felt that way at the very end.
“Das Boot”
Ignore the novel. Blucheim’s non-fiction photo account of the u-boat was is excellent. Many of the photos are captured scenes in the movie. They should have been since his experience was modelled into the war correspondent role.
Oh, god yes. Submarine Warfare, I think it is called, and it is an album of great photography.
“U Boat War” published 1978.

You own a David Rice Atchison t-shirt? I am impressed.

Great. Now I envision one of our mythical female Glibs wearing a shirt that reads “Stay Cool With” at the top and a pic of Silent Cal from the nose up. Hope KK doesn’t talk with her hands much, lest this happen.
Better KK than you.

Watchmen was a faithful adaptation of the graphic novel. The director cut one significant subplot from the graphic novel but given the run time, it was a reasonable choice. I enjoyed it.
Blade Runner vs Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?
They diverge in story, but I prefer the film.
For whatever reason, most of PKD’s books do better as movies. He was the anti-Heinlein in more ways than one.
Rip David Oreck and Richard Belzar.
Richard Belzar
respectable
but Jerry Orbach wore it better, was what a Yankee is ‘sposed to be
Lenny Briscoe will forever be my spirit animal
The movie “Gettysburg” is more coherent than the book “The Killer Angels” at telling the story of the battle.
I might not be an unbiased source since in the 1980’s the Army was cramming Joshua Chamberlain down our throats. I don’t say this as a criticism of Chamberlain since his initiative and repeated acts of valor are to be admired. But the Army forgot many other Civil War leaders who were very admirable as well.
One of my relatives (via marriage) acquitted himself well at Gettysburg as a Colonel.
Colonel Angus?
“All the women folk love Colonel Angus.”
“I never cared for Colonel Angus. Something about Colonel Angus just rubs me the wrong way.”
“Colonel Angus is an acquired taste”
“I always dreamt of the the day Colonel Angus would rest his head at shady thickets.”
NewWife gurgles laughing the suppressed laugh of laughs that she’s not supposed to laugh
The Civil War in general punches above its weight in Army culture, imo. Understandable though. Easy access to battle sites for staff rides, many installations named after participants, unit lineage (me too, my basic training battalion was 2/19 “Rock of Chickamauga”), and (for the most part) a straightforward conventional war without uncomfortable follow on questions (like the Indian wars) and a ultimate federal victory.
WWII ETO also for many of the same reasons.
Both are nearly forgotten today but the book and movie “A Bell for Adano” are both very good.
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0037534/
John Hersey won a Pulitzer for the book and the movie follows the story line very well. It is a fictionalized account of an actual NYC Reserve officer who was appointed a military governor in Sicily. https://militaryhallofhonor.com/honoree-record.php?id=3154
Custer was perhaps even more instrumental at saving the day at G-burg.

Finally solved the acrostic!
Blade Runner has already been mentioned, but the recent(ish) film adaptation of Graham Greene’s The Quite American is pretty damn good. They really capture the tone of the book, which is really the important part.
Also, Cop, with James Woods. It is based on one of James Ellroy’s early works, I think Blood on the Moon, and is much better. Woods just nails it.
While I don’t think the film is better than the book, the movie “The Martian” does a good job at capturing the book.
In order to make a standard length movie several significant parts of the book must be dropped but the movie does a decent job of incorporating some dialogue to cover for the loss.
This statement can be made about every book > movie adaptation. Some can never adequately make that jump because the book is so rich. I’d put The Name Of The Rose in that category.
I’d agree with that. The book is outstanding, the movie was, “Don’t give me shit. This was the only new movie left at Blockbuster.”
I did my MA Thesis on modern representations of the medieval period, whether they be adapted books/films of actual medieval works, or just modern art taking place in the medieval period. I learned to like the movie despite its massive shortcomings on the book material (which is some of the best writing I’ve come across – also, Umberto Eco is an intellectual hero to me).
Interesting.
The book WAS better, but it did drag. In some ways the film eliminated that issue.
If you read the Postscript to NOTR, it was designed that way, particularly the first 100 pages or so. The point was to create the reader he wanted for the rest of the book. A trial by fire, so to speak.
Was NOTR a better read than Foucault’s Pendulum? Because I didn’t really care for that all that much.
Yes.
Zwak is right.
Yes.
It’s probably his best novel, although I very much also enjoy Island of the Day Before.
But beware any who dares read Eco. His novels can often be intellectual slug-fests. He gets quite deep and heavy into it, and doesn’t care whether you want it.
I think “Dogma” is more entertaining than “The Baltimore Catechism”.
Gettysburg was a decent version of The Killer Angels
And I see already mentioned.
I think we can all agree with the character Sgt. Kilrain.
Mary Poppins?
The book s episodic and quite dark. The movie much more a complete work.
Similar was done with Studio Ghibli and Kiki’s Delivery Service. The book essentially a bunch of short stories about deliveries. The movie is a tale about growing up.
Starship Troopers is on the opposite end of the spectrum.
No kidding.
I’d like to see The Forever War made into a movie or a mini series but Hollywood would ruin it.
Forever War’s been stuck in Development Hell for years. Ridley Scott was developing it, but the project died, so who knows.
Scott could have pulled it off well.
I need to read that again; it’s been too long.
Pfft, it isn’t even a movie adaptation, it’s just a movie with the same title.
No, thats I Robot.
ST has basic plot points in common with the book.
The Maltese Falcon.
Solid.
No. It left out the most important scene, that of the beam falling.
Johnny Depp’s version of “Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas” does a much better at capturing the book than the first half of “Where the Buffalo Roams” with Bill Murray.
Both men were friends of the good Doctor but Depp captures HST’s spirit more completely.
Agreed.
I was going to say 2001: A Space Odyssey, but I’ve never actually read the book, and will not, because I don’t want the additional facile anti-nuke expository ruining the more transcendent meaning that the movie has for me.
I believe Clarke wrote the novel based on the screenplay he wrote first.
The book and screenplay were developed simultaneously with Clarke and Kubrick in collaboration, so it very well may not diverge as much as I’ve been told, but nevertheless, I just don’t want to chance it.
I can tell you I never figured out the bone in the intro was the first “tool” based on the film. I needed that explained to me in the novel.
After that I of course felt rather dumb.
I’m normally not a visual learner and prefer just plain old text, but for whatever reason, those visual cues in 2001 just nailed me instantly. It’s one of the reasons I’m so fond of the movie as a movie – it’s almost pure visual storytelling.
As Kubrick was making 2001 he needed to make a decision about what his lunar landscape should look like. There were two primary outlooks; the lunar surface having a hard /edged surface or a weathered and rounded surface. One side said there was no atmosphere so no erosion and look at how sharped edged everything looked in the best photos from Earth. The other side argued that there was erosion from the impact of micrometeorites that don’t make Earth’s surface. Kubrick chose the edged surface and as he was producing the movie the first soft landers started to arrive to survey for the Apollo program. As 2001 was in the theaters the Surveyor images were being released and the edged moon died to the victor of a rounded and eroded surface. Many millions to billions of years of micrometeorites did erode the surface.
Though some impressive sharp edges remain. On the summit of the central peak of Tycho Crater sits a boulder over 120m across.

Kewl. Mahalo since I had not heard about this.
Tasty. I’m still adapting to “no income, spending accumulated assets”, so I’m super not-spending at the moment
Both The Andromeda Strain and Jurassic Park (the movie, not the franchise) were adapted well, but Crichton’s books almost read more like screenplays in the first place.
Yup, Crichton is right up there with MacClean when it comes to writers who seemingly wrote with the express purpose of having their novels made into movies.
Dan Brown. That fucker could almost include slug lines in his books.
I was pretty disappointed in the movie Jurassic Park’s lame-ass stab at explaining chaos theory. It is an important underlying concept of the novel. I know they didn’t want to turn it into a lecture, but they could at least have mentioned the importance of extreme sensitivity to initial conditions.
I think all the time of the laws, bureaucracy, and misery driven by the majority’s inability to understand how well the normal distribution fits so many phenomena so well
at the end of the day, bureaucracy embodies the belief that we can control every three-sigma event if we just throw enough money at it, or, if you will, just inspect enough quality into the process
I’m being outvoted by people who have never heard of Deming; save your friends: make them read The Drunkard’s Walk: How Randomness Rules Our Lives

Not to mention the Underpants Gnome method of genetic engineering:
1) Extract DNA
2) Patch DNA with frog DNA, for some damn stupid reason when bird DNA would have made more sense
3) ???
4) Baby dinosaur!
Because frogs rule and birds drool, duh!
Birds don’t change sex which was needed for a plot point.
I thought the book was too dumbed down and obviously made for a kid friendly movie.
Then they dumbed that down for the movie….
But the special effects were so beyond that it worked
I’ve always enjoyed the movie line in which the attorney says to the kid trying out the night vision goggles “Are they heavy? Then they’re expensive. Put them down.”
There is truth to that, and I’ve used that line to interns before letting them know I was JK. But anyone who has handled an Agilent brand desktop lab instrument and then it’s BK Precision equivalent knows.
Crichton actually directed several movies, some off of his own books like The Great Train Robbery.

Mountain cows = slow elk.
Ive been tempted to drop a few.
When they are outside of open range in the mountains and the snow is flying you are doing them a mercy right?
The gift of mercy.
It’s a running joke between myself and my cousin. We have an uncle who is perfectly capable of shooting a cow and calling it an Elk.
The standard joke when hunting was that Hereford cows were “white-faced muleys (mule deer)”

I picked up a copy of Taber’s cyclopedic medical dictionary at a thrift shop for $0.50 yesterday.
It’s actually a fascinating thing to flip through.

I really think boiling a chicken leg or a steak is a worse crime (and don’t regard this a spoiler because there’s no way “boil” would fit.
“ruin” is four letters.
Agreed.
Fair point I didn’t think of that, to be fair I was thinking of ways that normal people sometimes cook these things. I mean I also didn’t consider this.
Jeez. You might as well cook it with explosives. It would be more edible.
Ah. I know what it is.
Not the best-known film, but I think the movie adaptation of Terry Davis’ Vision Quest was quite well done, despite the obligatory sappy ending. And I’ll reiterate from what I wrote Thursday night: if you have a high school-age male relative in your life, there’s worse gifts to give them than that novel.
I’d also nominate OMWC’s favorite movie as well as the film versions of Stephen King’s The Body and Rita Heyworth and the Shawshank Redemption.
Rita Hayworth and the Shawshank Redemption was a better book (novella) than the movie, but the movie was very good and true to the book. The only big difference was in the book Andy actually killed his wife, but yet you still rooted for him to escape. I thought that was an important part of the story.
Very late to the game:
Different Seasons (King) adaptions from best to worst:
“Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption” ==> Shawshank Redemption
“The Body” ==> Stand By Me
“Apt Pupil” ==> Apt Pupil
King’ novellas are almost perfect for adapting to movies
His short works are his best.
And a lot of them have made good episodes/segments of Creepshow, Tales from the Darkside, and the like.
Never read the book(s), but The Green Mile was a great movie.
I now see that I overlooked Shpip at 6:14. So, I added very little today.
Unrelated Nerd Alert.
I’ve been shopping at the local games store for at least ten years now (I found an old notebook with Warhammer game resules from 2011) So over the years I ran into a bunch of minor giveaways and promotions. I just found my Black Lantern Ring while poking around in the boxes I brought when I moved into my house. (I’m trying to get the stuff into their proper permanant places, I swear) I also found my Legion Flight Ring. (They were in the same bag).
It’s a shame DC died a few years ago.
At the risk of sounding like a hater, that NBA All-star halftime show was painful. I have heard better karaoke.
Isn’t watching the NBA All-star game supposed to be painful? Why would halftime be any different?

Ah yes. Isn’t that what introduced us to Ozzy Man as he “analyzed” Fergie’s anthem singing?

I dunno if the Zoom is still going but if so, I’ll be with y’all in 15 minutes.
I never read the book, but I think it is safe to say The French Connection just had to be better than the book.
One of my favorite books is The Lathe of Heaven and the no-budget PBS film did it justice in 1980, unlike the bigger-budget, horribly-miscast aughts remake.
PREACH!
The PBS adaptation in 1980 showed exactly what can be done with decent actors, good writing, minimalist sets and $1.98 budget.
The later effort was a shitshow in comparison.
Lisa Bonet was cast as an in-your-face black woman. I was just shaking my head in disbelief watching it.
I think the real question is which movie did a First justice. What movie could truly capture the majesty and glory of a First? Of even being witness to the First?
Demon Seed?
Good flick, bro? Meh…
It circles around to so bad it’s good. But it also feels like the already-filmed version of Bro’s pregnancy.

No Country for Old Men, while somewhat abbreviated (as is necessary to adapt a novel to film) was very meticulous to capture the feel and dialogue of the book, to the point that I’d say it makes reading the book unnecessary unless your a big McCarthy fan.
Huh. As I rewatch South Park from season one I realized that those two assholes shaped my views on the world. I deeply thank them.
My mother loved the recent world privacy tour episode. Now she is interested in other episodes so I am queueing up some episodes for her to try.
Two newest episodes are pretty good. Everyone was talking about the Royals episode but Cupid Ye was funnier.

“expected” vs. “required”
I wonder what the compliance level will be.
They tried the same for returning from Christmas break but low compliance by protected demographics compelled them to drop the requirement.
With all the news coming out from a variety of sources that the vaccines are no better than, and possibly worse than, natural immunity, I am surprised anyone would still try eliminating potential employee/client bast by this stupid rule.
And yet governments are still denying organ transplants to the non-vaxxed.
I finally got a positive COVID test late last year, so I figure I’m “immunized” and will use that term if asked.
It’s a religious tenet now so stop trying to apply logical principles to it, you’ll just give yourself a headache.
No kidding.
There are a lot of folks who swallowed Black Death 2.0 propaganda hook, line, and sinker and thus sacrificed families, future generations, health, economy (which means lives too) and are now dimly aware that it wasn’t worth it, that they would commit seppuku if they admitted their complicity in it all.
So they will never admit that Covid was a bad flu and that the devastation it wrought was inflicted largely by “elites” like them.
In the waning days of Black History Month, I feel it’s appropriate to play a classic, “Chocolate Rain” by Tay Zonday.
