Movies v books WAS :Re: What should we do next?

strong word, that 'hate') movies just because they note the 
difference between the book and the movie. It wasn't stated that you 
had to read the books to understand the Bourne movies, simply that 
the storylines are completely different. And that, sadly (IMO) is the 
truth. Not that movies aren't decent action films, just that they're 
not what I would expect as someone who'd read the books.

Alla:

Have you seen Bourne TV series with Richard Chamberlain (spelling?), 
Sheryll?

Now those series IMO are definitely **based** on the books. Sure they 
made changes to storyline, but storyline and characters are still 
very recognizable IMO. When I was watching the first movie, I kept 
thinking how could they call it based on the books, when the main 
villain is absent, if nothing else.

Oh well, as I said, I believe those movies stand perfectly well on 
their own, I just wish they would at least put in *inspired* by 
Bourne books.

JMO,
