Blade Runner is a much better movie that Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep was a book, and that is coming from a huge Philip K. Dick fan.

@The_BookishWolf @bookstodon @romancelandia @alttextgroup and this is why I don't join book clubs. There are tons of movies better than the booksand I'm not just talking about opinions (which, let's face it, this mostly is). Older books can be problematic and modern adaptation can fix this.

they don't really bounce you, they just pour more wine & get more animated with the discussion

@The_BookishWolf @bookstodon @romancelandia @alttextgroup I disagree: Iron Giant, as one example.

@The_BookishWolf @bookstodon @romancelandia @alttextgroup Obviously, haven't seen THE PELICAN BRIEF. They added the car chase to give it some drama. THE FIRM made the lawyer a hero using mail fraud to get the bad guys because Tom Cruise would never have starred in a film where he's lost his law license because he worked for bad guys. The ending of Greg McGuire's WICKED epically fails but the musical is amazing.

@The_BookishWolf @bookstodon @romancelandia @alttextgroup (from the back) Surely there are at least exceptions which prove the rule here! THE GODFATHER, THE SHINING, FIGHT CLUB…
