The medium doesn't prevent you from telling the story the way it was told in the novel.. In the novel the boys father walked him to the wall and asked the guards to let me through because thats where he was from.. In the movie the kid caused a scene with the guard and finally got by. That's not who the character was, it just sells more tickets.

Idk about this story in particular, but it sounds like they took the liberty to make their movie more suspenseful. Don't expect identical adaptations man, you're just gonna get frustrated.

I AM frustrated.. As I said this is the first time I've ever read a book there was a movie for and it was a terrible experience. I wouldn't mind if they left scenes out or took liberties adding to underdeveloped portions of the story, but to blatantly change the story? Nah, not okay. I'll have to work on it and convince myself it's a retelling and not an adaptation.

Watched the remake of Flatliners. It actually wasn't that bad compared to the original. The original is definitely better, but the remake wasn't terrible either.

I watched the new Deadpool.

Great movie but all these superhero movies seem way to redundant and predictable to me.

Also, when getting popcorn, tell them to drench it in butter like a bukkake girl. It always works. Told this kid this, told him I don't want the popcorn to be able to open it's eyes and he spent like 5 minutes buttering that ****. I'm going to end up killing myself with a cholesterol overdose.

Art Is Dead. Buy My ****.
