First off, that was rather civil of you Pricky.
Second, I rather enjoy books being made into movies even if they are not up to par. It's just "one" person's view on the book and that's cool with me. Movies also sometimes helps me understand books better when I sometimes didn't fully grasp parts of it.
A new book in production is Twilight. At first I was a little hesitant about Robert as Edward, but after seeing all the stuff from the Twilight Lexicon about him, such as the pictures people had taken with him or just of him, he's looking better for the part. And his personality...at least that being portrayed at the time, seems to fit Edward. (Pricky, hold your tongue please.) I think it will end up being a great movie. Not everyone may look the exact part, but I think it's still enjoyable to watch someone's view on how they see the book.
But then again...Pride and Prejudice A&E version I didn't think was as great...but there are plenty of people who love that one better than the newer version. And that's fine...(because obviously they're wrong and we all know it...lol) but not everyone's going to like it. Just like how not everyone loves the Twilight book (shocking!), not everyone's going to like the movie.
And I can't believe Pricky hasn't seen any of the Harry Potter movies!

have either of you read scott westerfields midnighters books?
Yes. They are good. I'd rate them 4 stars. Or 3.5..3.75? I read them in September so I can't remember how much I liked them...but I know I stayed up late reading them...so that should mean something, right? I still love the Uglies better. But Midnighters was pretty good. I should read then again...Have you read them?
I'm a big fan of Scott. I've so far read 9 and like a quarter of his books. I even have his second book of his Killing of the Worlds books, but I need the first one before I can read it! I was Tally last Halloween. Go Tally!
Oh P.S. I was thinking more about the topic of books being made into movies... and I think it's a tossup. I mean sometimes you hit gold and the movies are amazing... but sometimes you hit rock bottom. Case and Point: Eragon.
