Hunter S. Thompson wrote Fear and Loathing a good while before Cheech and Chong came into the spotlight.

You should watch the Criterion release with all the extras. It's good stuff.

Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas

Amen brother, definitely not my bag.

To be honest, I have a hard time appreciating films when I've already been told how great they are. It builds them up too much.

As for Shawshank, I enjoyed it but I'd read the book and I preferred the written version.

Avatar for sure. I was so disappointed.

Dune (the 80's one), now the Sci-fi mini-series is a whole different story.

The movie adaptation is almost never as good as the book, for any movie.

Tell me about it. Especially Stephen King books - I love his books, I'm a huge fan, and unfortunately half his movie adaptions were made in the times before special effects looked halfway decent, and everyone had really shit haircuts.

Oh yeah, that and they always change bits.

His movies never live up to his books but IMO most of his movies are pretty good, I'm interested to see what they do with the movie adaptation of IT.
