Why must the directors change a movie from the book, to make the movie just seem dumb?

Why not? Are you afraid or something? Wait, which book are you talking about Harry Potter or Lightning Thief?

MizziQ Harry Potter.


Andre and Sophie YES! That does seem weird!

Who doesn't love Harry Potter? Why not? WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU? What is wrong with Harry Potter where you only like it? 'Cus nobody HATES Harry Potter, right?
RIGHT?

Sonia Jarmula I haven't seen it, but I'm thoroughly disappointed with clips I've seen. Since it's been changed so much, I don't want to see it. I don't want what horrors are unleashed on screen-utter blasphemy against the books-to mar my imagination of the characters.

Not all changes from print to screen are terrible, though, but I admit, most teen/children's books are, for some reason. But some great ones are Lord of the Rings (I'm very much looking forward to the Hobbit), Harry Potter, Coraline did well all though the plot was changed, very enjoyable, Pride and Prejudice, and The Thief Lord, which was probably the best adaptation in terms of following the whole plot that I've ever seen.

Are you serious? How much conflict was there against the Titans, or was it mostly against the gods?

Some people aren't, their religions fear it. For instance, dark magic is scary for some people. I wasn't allowed to read it but I read it anyways and it's nothing that people's religion's should fear. I understand why they do it, but they just need to be educated. No shame in that. :)

MizziQ Galatians 5 is what my mom is really worried about. We arent scared but we are instructed to stay away from it.


message 165: by MizziQ (new) - rated it 5 stars

MizziQ A bible verse the book is galatians the chapter is 5...


Kaleigh - Captain Bubbles ESTP(intj) Well, why can't you read harry potter because of that?


message 167: by Sonia (new) - rated it 5 stars

Sonia Jarmula People think that dark magic will influence kids badly, and so they're afraid of it.

Zoha I liked it as a movie but they left out too much to make a whole series of the book.
My brother was sad when he found out that there was not going to be a Sea of MOnsters and he hadn't even read the books when he said that.


Kaleigh - Captain Bubbles ESTP(intj) Hey Juliet? I can't be friends with you. Only with people I have met before. Sorry. But we can still talk to each other and stuff.

Okay so I REALLY like spelling... as long as I can spell the word. :) NewKingJamesVersion usually but I also have a NewInternationalVersion. I don't like NIV so much but it still works.

Ravenfrozt I was very disappointed with the movie,.... after all percy jackson is my fave series and they totally stuffed it up. though i have to say i am glad they left the medusa part in.


Kaleigh - Captain Bubbles ESTP(intj) Hey, Razenfrozt. You are totally right! I have a question for you... Do you like cats?

Sonia Jarmula Someone asked if someone else liked cats, me and my friends always sing "DO YOU LIKE WAFFLES? DO YOU LIKE PANCAKES? DO YOU LIKE FRENCH TOAST?"


message 193: by MizziQ (new) - rated it 5 stars

MizziQ Okedokkee... Like Sara said... off topic much? :) jk
I think this discussion could very easily go into Misc.


Ravenfrozt I <3 CATS!!!

Hey u know the percy jackson movie was directed by the director of the first two harry potter movie. why did he make the harry potter so good but the percy jackson the opposite. He should be ashamed by the fact that he hurt so many people's interest in PJ but just make it a whole different story for those who haven't read PJ. Does anybody agree with me or is it just me???


Ravenfrozt Oh btw i think they should have named the movie something else as they changed the lighting thief himself.


Ravenfrozt @Kaleigh i have 2 black n white cats. They are so cute. As for this pic i found off the net as it is impossible to take a picture of them cos they will come up to sniff the camera.


Ravenfrozt i mean my cats. sorry


message 198: by MizziQ (new) - rated it 5 stars

MizziQ Well the movie made me want to read the books so I'm glad it was made. Otherwise I would have never read the books. The books were better but by itself the movie was really good. Like without comparing it to the books.
