Ever heard of the old phrase when someone watches a preview of a movie and they say, "the book was better?"
Well I just noticed a trailer of a movie that was biased off an old kids book called "Paddington" about the bear named Paddington. OMG. So many books are being turned into movies.
Some good like 'to kill a mockingbird' and some bad like 'twilight' (Never read the book, but that movie sucked)
It seems almost every book is about to become a multi million dollar movie. "Harry Potter" "The Hunger Games" You name it. I don't think 'Catcher in the Rye' will ever be a movie since the author never want it to be sold into movie rights.
Even some kid books, like "Babysister's club" "Diary of a loser (whatever it's called)" "Jake underpants"
Even Dr. Seaus (who would be rolling in his grave) if he say any and I mean any of his lame movies that were being shamefully ripped off by Hollywood, or Canadian actors portraying them. For the love of god. STOP! The classic cartoon versions are thousand times better than that crap.
Even Roald Dahl books such as "James and the Giant Peach" "Charlie and the chocolate factory" (both the original and tim burton version) "Witches" "Matilda" They all saw the spotlight. Liked the Matilda film and the two Charlie and the chocolate factories. The other two, not so much.
So many books are starting to become films and tv movies, it's almost scary. Some movies do ok, while others just are too hyped or not hyped enough and this "Paddington" movie might not compare to the original book that I fell in love with when I was little, but for other generations, it might be ok, but this is just too much. He looks so much like that snuggle bear with the fabric softener. Well as long as it goes by the book and doesn't end up like that stupid yogi bear movie, I'm up for it, but for now, I know "The book was better" Ciao bloggers
