Expensive What You Can't Afford a $7 book?😮

I Have Always Liked Movie Tie -In Books 📚 More Story and Character Development 👍😊 If The Film Fallowed The Book, The Movie Would Be Anywhere From 2.5-3.5 Hrs Longer Than The Theatrical Release!

The detailed backstory or inner monologues are why I always sort of liked novelizations. I had no idea they were considered trash. Great video as always.

Who needs Ewoks when you have Woola the calot? ;)

Algorithm burned me, just had the Halloween / Friday video come up. Alaska plate? Watching from South Anchorage. =)

My early history as a pre-teen with both movies was frustration. You got the killer down once and it got back up? And the next time you get it down you run away again, leaving their weapon right there with them again? At least take it with you. Better yet, use it, help yourself to a hand, or foot, or head. Put those in a sack and take them too. Stumpy McHeadless will be less of an ongoing threat if they can't regenerate. Of course, most horror fiction, and movies in particular, rely on the conceit that horror stories and movies don't exist in that world. The second or third blood-drained corpse in a world like ours that pops up and sure, the Chief will "pooh-pooh" talk of vampires, but they'll be issuing stakes, garlic, and holy water on the side, and calling the Vatican. Because why not?

When I first read the novelization of "Halloween", I honestly found myself getting genuinely creeped out. I actually found the book to be more frightening than the film.

Congratulations on your channel anniversary. Please keep up the good work at the pace that works best for your life.

Friday the 13th was a novel get out of town

Keep Akiva Goldsman away from this adaptation. Remember what he did to the Dark Tower.

These days, unless I find an adaptation particularly offensive, I don’t go. The book is better than the movie. I can appreciate the merits of each medium on their own once in a while. I think the movie is better than the book and vice versa comes to jaws. I think the movie in the book are good for two different reasons and the reason people like the movie rather than the book am my opinion. It’s because Jaws is rather optimistic movie that shows people as the aspire to be that’s why it ends on I’m more hopeful note. but it would be an interesting experiment to do a more straight adaptation of the novel. It wouldn’t be as crowd pleasing. I read the book along time back in high school. I didn’t care for the liberally use of the N-word being half African-American. I rediscovered it recently and I’ve grown to appreciate it. I think the biggest sin of the book is the fact that it’s very dry and feels like a poor man, Stephen King, but what I do appreciate it is it shows human beings as they are petty lying selfish but still finds the humanity and them. The way I see the shark in the book. It’s in a shark but karma with teeth a message from God or some higher power to punish a town of Amity for their wickedness before the shark we learn of how chief Brody. Is covering up crimes and there was a team of Con artist. Who were doing bad contractor jobs at the town turned on them is understandable. but seeing how the town declared war on them is chilling when you think about it. I fell. Ellen Brody‘s affair was salacious material, but I had a depth of character to it sympathy with Ellen going through a midlife crisis and appreciating the life she has now that to me an honest opinion of a relationship, not that fairytale bullshit, but being flawed same way, you are in life, and you’re either fine with it or you run away. I wouldn’t call Peter Benchley, a great rider, but a good storyteller. I think the fact that Steven Spielberg mom cheated on his dad influenced him to make changes to the story.

I read Jaws a long time ago (and I think I read the novel before I saw the movie). I've got a copy ready to go as soon as I finish the novel I'm currently reading. I remembered that the novel and movie are quite different, and I'll approach it again as two different entities.

i completely agree the movie was way better than the book and the book spent entirely too long on Ellen and Hooper...it felt like half the book

I would hope its started as Robert McCammon's original starting period 1987

i read this as a teen in the 80s

Bravo! Well said sir. I recently came across your channel and I do appreciate your content. I was born in 1968 and share a great many interests in like TV, movies and books as you. Keep up the great work.

Thanks for the recommendation. I have had that book in my Trek novel collection for quite a while, but haven't gotten around to it. I will give it a shot.

❤

I'm just going to leave a comment for the algorithm to reward you for the pun "Ten Crommandments".

Great video👏

Looks like an old ice House there would have been a wooden structure on the outside and filled with straw they sometimes had those spread out that way you can always get ice

Former Cult of Baal shrine

Looks like a sarcophagus

yes i should find some edgar rice burroughs books to read

I agree the novel was tedious and boring

I read the novel Jaws to me the novel was boring

It was probably used to stored stuff... or people. There aint any windows.

I haven't gotten around to this, I'm still on A Princess of Mars so I won't watch everything because I don't want it spoiled ;) And oh, thank you so much for your kind shout out at the end! You're an awesome guy!

I love your style. It's like being in a lecture with a cool professor covering a fun topic. Please keep them coming.

You are clearly not READY FOR SOME FOOTBALL ;)

Great review/discussion. When you talked about the mistakes that Carter made as the series went on, I remembered one glaring mistake he made even at the end of the very first book. I never bought the fact that he somehow forgot that he could use telepathy to open the door of the atmosphere plant to turn the pumps back on until the very last minute when people were already passing out from oxygen deprivation.

Sounds cool prolly have to give it a look up. The art looks kinda like Zardoz.

This is great news. My favorite book. When I was a kid I would go to the library with my dad and as we checked out books that demon face on the spine stared at me. One day I said, "I'm gonna read this one. It's always staring at me." It became my favorite book. I often daydreamed about who I would cast. Michael Clark Duncan as Josh, Dakota Fanning as Swan, Dennis Hopper as Macklin... But time rolls on. Hopefully they find the perfect people for the roles. Keep a look out for Mr. Welcome.

Love’s me some R. E. Howard!!! - and some H. P. Lovecraft…and Clarke Ashton Smith and August Derleth, E Hoffman Price, Robert Bloch, etc. - A very good era for sure for entertaining literature - THANKS!!

Oh wow man, you really did copy all that by hand? That's a really cool story! Unfortunately I don't have such a one to tell you.. maybe it's how I got into reading. I always had a rough time concentrating and I thought reading was boring. We were forced to read in school and I saw in my grandfathers book shelf a nice copy of Dracula so I chose that one. I mean, if school was gonna force me to read I was gonna read something cool! And allthough I don't remember much, I do remember how I reacted to some chapters and that was a fantastic feeling within me. I also read The Lost World (Crichton) but I found it boring as shit.. :P You have to remember I was in elementary school at this point. Then when I was 7 years old I watched Starship Troopers with my father and brothers and it both fascinated me and scared the shit out of me. But ever since then I decided I wanted to read the book and I tried and tried but I just couldn't do it. Fast forward about 12 years or so and I bought the book, decided now was the time and I forced myself to it. And that was how I got my passion for reading. Heinleins way of writing was just so good and thought provoking, and I wanted to compare it to the movie. It was of course extremely different and I knew that, but it didn't ruin it for me. When I was finished I picked up his other book Double Star and actually enjoyd that even more. That was a rough summer for me because I got my skin disease which meant I had to wear gloves if I was ever going to read anything. But it was worth it :)

Well I've read this awesomeness book 5 times almost worn out the book need to buy the hardback version & can't wait to see this book adaptation to R rated movie not a TV series with PG rating plus I would like to see actress Kathy Bates playing Sister Creep in the movie she's really good actress

W.B. really screwed the pooch on this..Was very much looking forward to seeing this in the theater...No trailer,no explanation,no expectations of anything worth watching by now...1979 version will be best,always......

Great review! I decided to read the Barsoom series after seeing Cosmos in which Carl Sagan spoke so passionately about these stories that he loved as a child. So I started to read A Princess and soon I too was in love with the world of Barsoom. I have read the whole series by now. I hope you won't stop at the first three books: most of the ones that come after that are awesome too. My favourites of the series are in fact the fifth book The Chessmen of Mars, and the sixth The Mastermind of Mars.

GREAT MOVIE !!!

...by Crom

Rip David starsky and hutch great show

This is my absolute favorite book and I couldn’t be more excited!

I been slowly reading Swan Song for over a year and am about 61% through and it is really good. It is bleak so now than I have to put it down but it does grab you from page one. That openoing scene with the president lighting looking into the flame on the match is so powerful in a way that I can't put my finger on. It is already one the vary few fantasy books I have liked. The list also includes The Stand.

This is still my favorite episode of MST3K, and yes, I do own some of that merch.

Also CROM laughs at your four winds

I read Swan Song years ago and loved it! Even more than The Stand.

Your not joking, Swan Song was by far the best book I've ever read (4×). Can't wait for the mini series or movie.

I am very interested by this. Having recently started reading Stephen King's books and have read The Stand and am nearly finished with 11//22/63, then people started recommending Swan Song, which I've downloaded onto my Kindle and is next up! So, I will have read it by the time this series comes out. I would echo thoughts about T.V. companies doing these things justice. I'm a massive fan of The Mists of Avalon and would _love_ to see a decent version of it on the screen, having read it no end of times, but I would be very wary that they'd cut corners and make a total mess of it!

Oh yes Chariots of the gods book. my older brother had it, I was only 10 years old. really opened my mind when I read it. Interesting . My mind never the same again, them old books had huge research. Good stuff.
