Movies Into Book
(John Shirley; Peter David; Jane and John Smith)
Normally when I read a book that was a movie first and not the other way around, the people who just so happen to see me reading said book tend to sneer. Why is this? The answer, It's the worst thing you can do to a movie, is along the lines of what I get. Why? I would ask, only to get a blank stare and a few incoherent mumbles in return. As of this writing I have Mr. & Mrs. Smith, Constantine, and Spider-man 2 on my shelf, and I loved every one of them. I cannot explain what has people on guard whenever they see me reading them. Just recently I looked on the bookshelf in the local Wall Mart and saw Underworld: Evolution up for sale. The only reason why I didn't buy it right then and there was because of my lack of cash. What I like about reading books that have been popular movies first is that I get the chance to see the movie and know what happens before it hits the big screen, and like all books you read you're also constantly aware what the characters are thinking without having to rely on their expressions alone should there be a scene with no dialogue, not to mention little tid bits you find in the books that don't make it into the movie, which I think make them far more interesting. Perhaps it's only the people I hang out with, because regardless of the negativity I've seen surrounding these books they're obviously selling well enough to keep them in stores. Until the next movie-turned-book, I'll say farewell.
