It's not a imperishable truth though. Books *can* be darn good films.
As far as I've seen and heard about the Lord of the Rings, people are
considering it being rather good, too. But you're right that a
certain type of books are better of as books.


The Color Purple was a good example.  BUT it was still a deviation from the
book.  As was Starship Troopers (I may never forgive Ironside for making
that movie and I am among those who believe Voorheeven should be shot for
what he did to that film!!), etc etc etc.

Lots of

But is Hagrid's height really THAT important for the story?
(she says and purse her mouth muttering "Hagrid, who gives a toss
about Hagrid!")


Well, he's a major player in the books ------- but other than that .........





Oh, they can make believable ghosts. At least Swedes can when making
films where the costs are MUCH lower, and since this film is SO
expensive I'm sure we'll get to see special effects that makes us
drowl, no matter of the film's quality otherwise.



ROFL!!!!  Again, I give you Starship Troopers LOL!!



> The Human Mind <G>.  I like the actor they have for Snape, but he's
just too
> full in the face and not quite tall enough.  That's the Snape in my
mind.

Alan Rickman...*deep, happy sigh* I don't care. I don't care that I
had expected him to be thinner and have greasier hair- Alan is Alan
and he is *WONDERFUL*. The line from the trailer is just causing
sheer madness! "Our new celebrity..." I saw "Dogma" about one week
before I started reading PS and I have to say that Alan Rickman as
Snape was something that came up in my mind while reading. He IS
Snape. Period.

Be ya a Snape Fan???  You should se the pics of Snape in SSTL.  And
hopefully more to come.  I'm working with a guy willing to illustrate for me
<G>.

it is,
> the less I like it (and *I* am American).

Agree. Call me European Snobb, but I'm fed up with the American way
of dealing with films, tv, you name it!
I was horrified with the thougt of Columbus as well, since his other
films are heading towards Sappy Hell, but let's keep out fingers
crossed that he's not screwing up this. Please!



Fingers, toes, legs, arms.  I'll even braid my hair!!!!
