oh it shows quentin
was the book really that bad?

Finnegans Wake

>was the book really that bad?

You know it was.

anything kubrick
holes

not barry lyndon, although the movie is tight, thakeray is a boss hog

is it even fair to make a comparison w/ kubrick? the final product always differs greatly from the source material when it comes to kubrick

Salo is not nearly as thorough and perfectly heartless as its source material, and the original work itself was merely a draft. One actively thrills to the abject evil of Sade's prose, or else actively recoils from it, as the film did not evince like reaction.

except lolita

Clarke's 2001 is genre fiction shlock
Kubrick's 2001 is the greatest film ever made

Anyone read The Exorcist? The movie is one of my favorites, though i heard the book is shit

Game of Thrones.

INB4 butthurt bookniggers.

the book didn't even come out first though, so nobody really gives a shit in the case of 2001

This. Plus I agree with old mate below about 2001 it's a great movie.

Blade Runner.

Was gonna say exactly these. Good job. Include 2001 though.

actually written at same time by the way

yeah but arguably it was a Kubrick project, and not a Clarke project, so calling 2001 a book adaptation would be misleading
'tis what I meant

Admit it.

Drive by James Sallis

The book was atrocious COMPARED to the film.

The Coens captured or rather expanded upon the humour of the source material.

When Sheriff Bell rolled up to the motel and saw Llewelyn I cracked up laughing

...

bravo quonton tarontini

I agree

how can you even masturbate to a book?

I think you have either terribly misunderstood or then successfully understood the intentions of Nabokov and Kubrick
