Books vs. Movies

[Green_crayon42]

This is a thread to talk about how books differ from movies and what we do and don't like about how it's done.
That's the general idea anyway. Tangents are allowed...of course, because we all go off topic occasionally anyway. wink Well, I do.

Discuss!

I posted this in another thread, but i think it fits here too:

The problem with turning books into movies, is that, it's it's a novel they have to leave a lot out if they don't want it to be a 10 hour movie. Short stories fare better, because there is less detail, but i can't really think of any off the top of my head. I guess I don't really like movies much because there's not enough time for decent character development and growth...
