1. what is your favorite movie that was based on a book?
Bram Stoker's Dracula

2. what is your least favorite movie that was based on a book?
I haven't read all the books that were made into movies, I either have just read the book or seen the movie

3. which book would you like to see be made into a movie?
Without a Doubt by Marcia Clark

The Abuse of Innocence: The McMartin Pre-school Trial.

4. generally, people tend to like the book more than the movie. tell me about a movie based on a book in which you liked the movie better than the book.
I guess Dracula

5. do you like to read the book before watching the movie or watch the movie before reading the book?
it's irrelevant to me because both things are different. I bought The Black Dahlia to read it before the book and I absolutely detested it, like I couldn't even finish it. I just skipped the chapters to the end to get a glimpse of what happens and then I gave it to an aunt because I couldn't deal with the fact that it was in my collection of books, I hated it THAT much.

I did read Memoirs of A Geisha before I saw the movie and I did like to have read it first, I guess I understood the movie more but sometimes the bokoks don't get released where I live so I don't get that chance a lot of the times.

1. what is your favorite movie that was based on a book?
Silence of the Lambs, possibley.

2. what is your least favorite movie that was based on a book?
Even Cowgirls Get the Blues, I think.

3. which book would you like to see be made into a movie?
House of Leaves (it would be hard though)

4. generally, people tend to like the book more than the movie. tell me about a movie based on a book in which you liked the movie better than the book.
Hmmmmmmm. I'm going to have to go with Pride and Prejudice. I never really got into the book but I loved the BBC film.

5. do you like to read the book before watching the movie or watch the movie before reading the book?
Watch the movie then read the book, but normally it's the other way around.

1. what is your favorite movie that was based on a book?
the Exorcist & Cabaret

2. what is your least favorite movie that was based on a book?
Memoirs of a Geisha. that's one of my favourite books, and although the film looks good, the adaptation to screen is dreadful.

3. which book would you like to see be made into a movie?
i hadn't really though about this much, but Petal's answer House of Leaves has lots of potential.


4. generally, people tend to like the book more than the movie. tell me about a movie based on a book in which you liked the movie better than the book.
i do declare this has never happened

5. do you like to read the book before watching the movie or watch the movie before reading the book?
read the book. i feel sad that people have watched the Da Vinci Code movie and think that that's what I was making all that fuss about. it leaves all the interesting bits & pieces out.
