Yikes, that was an awful take. A truly awful take…

Yep. I am pretty immune to f'ed up. But this got to me. Especially because the attitudes depicted seem to be becoming more acceptable to many Americans. Trump is mentioned many times as a role model for these guys.

“Who Goes There?” Was also loosely adapted in 1972 as “Horror Express” with Christopher Lee. No masterpiece for sure, but good schlocky fun. Lee finds a creature in the ice in China, and decides to take it home to England on the Transiberian Express for study. Of course, it thaws and gets out and starts killing people on the train. It doesn’t shapeshift, but it can jump from body to body, retaining the memories of its victims. There are various scientists on board, and it seeks to suck out their knowledge and eventually escape in one of its possessed hosts to build a ship to escape Earth.

Guys the hobbit is not that bad. Sure it deviates A LOT from the book, but honestly I was expecting that anyway. I wanted to applause that characters that has returned has age well and took the source material WAAYYY better than the TV show. Who complains this movie are the hardcore fans of the book. So as a movie, it's Really really good. One of the few big blockbuster films that gave some sh*t before things went woke.

Gosling is Britain in the notebook

I never knew scarface 1984 was a remake 😮 learn something new everyday 🤔

Come back bro! And Merry Christmas!

I agree the book made me extremely angry. I borrowed it from a friend, when I returned it he said "Told you it'd piss you off."

I 100% agree with you!, on everything you said👍😎

I didn't see Clockwork until I was in my mid 20's. For years I saw the iconic poster as tye VHS cover in video rental storea but my parents would never let me watch it. I was lucky enough to see it at a single screen art house cinema and I fell in love with it. In fact, that movie was a life changer due to some very dark circumstances in my life at that time. Clockwork was therapy for me. When I read the book afted, I was very shocked with Chapter 21. It didn't ruin the story for me, but I preferred how Kubrick adapted the book for the big screen without that chapter.

In the book, in carrie’s last moments she wants her mother. Killing her mother by slowing her heart was real emotional and the fact that Carrie wanted her mom at the end was heartbreaking to me.

As someone who loves the book, i very much enjoyed the movies. They added every bit from the book, and all the additions i thought were interesting

T2 has too much downtime and comedy that sort of distracts the flow. Also that kid is quite annoying with his shrieking voice and stupid behaviour. I can't stand that he threatens the two guys who tried to save him and uses T-800 as a shield. I wished the kid was 20 year old or something instead and was a total loser, like a book nerd or something. That could have been more interesting.

I see the difference between the movie and the book as the difference between a 2D drawing of an apple and the actual apple. The drawing is excellent and well-detailed, incredibly enjoyable, but ultimately lacks the substance of the original thing.

I like very much this novel and thanks for your opinion on this video

I love and watch both versions of Scarface together in one day when I get the chance. And yes, a lot of people don't realize or even believe that the Al Pacino version from 1983 is a remake either. One more fact about the Al Pacino version of Scarface that needs to be brought up is that it also has a counterpart movie 🎬. And that particular movie 🎬 is Carlito's Way which was released in 1993(ten years after Scarface). And that movie is the second collaboration between Al Pacino and Brian De Palma(director) and there also three "Easter Eggs" from Scarface that are in Carlito's Way as well.

What was the deal with the GIANT WORMS in the movie ?

Movie should have been 145 minutes and R rated

Nice concise breakdown!

I loved this movie but I can absolutely see your point. I think if you never read the book you should absolutely do that first before the movie. The movie is great once you read the book, and while it’s not perfect, I liked it

I should be a better person, but screw these movies. It would be cool if we got a Peter Jackson cut that mashes the "proper parts" into 1 movie. Could be redeemable.

Dumas and the writers from that era got paid for so many words in the papers so they always ended on a cliffhanger that people always wanted to read next weeks😂

Heart of darkness really screws with your head and creates this imagination in your mind . Apocalypse Now basically sets that in reality when you think about the U.S. involvement during the war.

Paused this video at 2:05 the movie is shite. The book is the bollocks.

Have not read the book myself but one of my favorite stories/movies of all time. Thanks for the breakdown!

Ok being real I love the book obviously, but I still adore the movies too, other than the romance thing they’re excellent imo, still nowhere near comparable to lotr

Hates Blade Runner? I didn't make it past 53 seconds.

Good video! I actually had to read Bonfire in my modern fiction class in the late 80's -- in NYC, in fact -- and loved it. (Most of Tom Wolfe's books are total pageturners.) But never had any interest in the movie, though it came out straightaway. If you read just a few pages, you realize it's a total satirical commentary on the 80's and the characters are archetypes. (American Psycho is one of very few movies that get it right.) It didn't help that the casting was woefully misbegotten. Every reader at the time was envisioning William Hurt as the McCoy, so why even mess with that. And, as you say, the Britishness of the Fallow character and the whiteness/Jewishness of the judge played by Freeman were critical to those characters-as-archetypes. Am reading Devil's Candy right now, which led me to this clip--it details the mishap in this movie's making. Strong recommend!

Apparently Orwell was only off by 40 years…

Don’t know about the book but the movie..wawww..what a great great show

the fleshing out of other characters makes sense considering the book is a first person narration whereas in the film we take on a 3rd person perspective, giving all the characters equal presence. I like the book, though I don't think I finished it, because it seems to carry a deeper message than the movie, which doesn't really seem to carry any message at all, except that life is like a box of chocolates

Lol

FYI The Count of Monte Cristo is one of the most influential books to Jose Rizal, the National Hero of the Philippines. He wrote novels that inspired a nation to rise against the Spanish occupation of the Philippines. Jose Rizal was wrongfully imprisoned and executed. His books Noli Me Tangere and El Filibusterismo draw strong inspiration from the Count book. José Rizal's influence on the Philippine Revolution was profound and undeniably significant, even though he himself did not directly advocate for an armed uprising. His ideas, writings, and martyrdom inspired the Filipino people's struggle for independence and were instrumental in shaping the revolutionary movement.

Totally agree

Probably cormac’s weakest book and I’m a fan of his writing, and one of the best movies I’ve seen. Even with that said I preferred the book for the for the simple reason that moss seems to be the protagonist of the movie but he’s not the book is about bell coming to terms with his life and failings it about the perception of a new evil he doesn’t understand even though it’s always been here. If you want to give McCarthy another shot try blood meridian it’s his best writing, but be prepared it’s harder to read he goes all out on the and style of pros no punctuation and throw in every big word could find that will require some googling and Spanish to boot. It’s also much harder to comprehend or understand a book that requires more than one reading along with some deep thought/discussion but it’s worth it amazing book that will never become a movie.

nahhh dog aint nobody faint reading the book, it is very good tho

Ellen was a villain - narcissistic, victim complex, zero accountability, a cheat, and a victim again. I hated her and wanted Martin to leave her snobbish, entitled ass.

Its an ok Zombie movie but you can’t take it seriously as an ‘adaptation’ of the book. It just stole the title, which is kinda silly. If you know you are gonna throw out the whole book, you will just annoy book fans. Vaguely inspired by movies should just come up with new titles. Had the same issue with irobot.

"This is the most fkd up thing I've ever read"... Okay, DO NOT pick up an Aron Beauregard book.

I hope john grisham dresses up like Dennis Hopper for Halloween😂

Love guys like this, if want the book, go get the rights, then write the script based on the book, the pitch it a film exc (seeing what they're making day, you get impress someone. ) put crew together and make your dream film. Then, get it videoed. After a bunch of them rip your heart about your work, then you come back and do is video.

So what I garnered from this video is that the shitting scene became christ. A holy shit if you will. 😀😂

I maybe in the minority when I say, I did not like the 1983 Scarface. Maybe I was spoiled by more modern gangster films but I just didn’t dig it.

I've never seen such a shameless adaptation lol... literally just a cash grab by using the name lol😂

My favorite scene was when Forest and Bubba were in Nam. He goes back for his buddies 😢 and he finally gets to Bubba.

Definitely Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior by far Mad Max 1 was boring as shit

He wrote the book just a few miles from Ed Gein... before Gein's murders came to light. The parallels to this movie really freaked Bloch out.

Basically this is a review of the particular audiobook that was listened to. Poor review at best. I'm ok the book wasn't read or the story wasn't liked - but at least the negative points should have been well made, which they really are not. Came away more confused than enlightened. If anything - this did make me want to pick up the book again - so thumbs up for that!

Your wife sounds like an idiot
