Bladerunner is a totally fab movie! in fact, the other day it came on, and noticed things I hadn't seen before years go. I watched The Shining and thought Jack Nicholson was downright scary, for sure. Thanks for stopping by!

In the case of "To have...Excellent post, Ro! In the case of "To have and have not" Howard Hawks bet Ernest Hemingway that he could make a better movie of Hemingway's book. So there is precedent early on for movie vs. book. I think that two examples that I would point to in which the movie was better would be 1. The Shining and 2. Bladerunner. The Shining, written by Stephen King, read more like a ghost story, whereas the movie played out like a tale of extreme claustrophobia. The movie was chilling, and the book, well, meh... Bladerunner, which was an adaptation of Philip Dick's "Do Androids dream of electronic sheep?" was a cinematic masterpiece, and aside from its interpretation, became on of the most influential science fiction films of its era.

I totally loved and fan girled over them. xD As did my mom. But your right, certain books shouldn't ever be movies because you just miss out on all the details that make it unique!
