Personally my best is probably Lord of the Rings (about 1000 pages)but of course if you start counting trilogies/series then it's well over the 2-3,000 mark.

I didn't really, but thanks anyways.
I love the Shining movie, I've sort of been wanting to read the actual novel for a while now though. Maybe when I get bored, I'll pick some up. To be perfectly honest, the only books I've read in the last couple years have all been music related. I just haven't been inspired to read fiction in a long time.
I did watch the Thinner TV movie a long time ago though - I remember it being goofy as hell. I can sort of get all the horror of anorexia in this 5 minute track and save me the time of reading a whole novel though.
I've never managed to get into Lord of the Rings. Way back when I was a kid, my mom and uncle were bringing me and my brother to see the first movie in theatres. It turned out, they were sold out for that movie, so we ended up seeing Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius in theatre 2 instead. Great movie, I should've taken that experience as a sign that it just wasn't meant for me. As an adult, my wife made me watch the first Lord of the Rings and I was bored to tears. I swear, most of the run time, they're just walking up this big mountain, trying to find the ring, or trying to protect it, I don't ****ing remember, but I kind of wish someone just smashed that god damn ring with a sledgehammer and saved me the time. Good movie to fall asleep to though - I swear that mountain was like, the biggest mountain ever. The only action I even remember was a fight with a troll/giant (or was it a big spider?) - that lasted for all of 5 minutes. That part was ok.
Yeah, I'm not big on fantasy movies. Harry Potter is okay though.
