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.
