Works for Booze


            Patrick Fenton has always been a reader. Currently attending Mohawk College and Netflix University; his love of books often finds him on a collision course with filthy studio executives. Time and time again he reads a great book, pays twenty dollars for popcorn and fifteen for a movie ticket only to find the filmmakers have managed to take an imaginative book and ripped its heart out while dancing on a pile of money. Books are the highest form of mass communication, and it can be disheartening to know that a whole generation of dumb young people will only see a director’s muddled view of a book rather than the real McCoy. Timeline will always standout as one of the worst adaptations of all time; while Lord of the Rings is not only the greatest adaptation but the best book ever written as well. The only book that is more read in the world is the bible, and not many people actually read that. As far as adaptations go perhaps it’s best to look to the video game genre, after all nobody expects a word for word adaption of them. The Super Mario Bros. movie set the bar so low nobody tried again for years. It’s not that all books perverted into film are terrible, just most of them. You like his dim view on book adaptations? You should hear his opinion on blogs.
