Books and stuff
Now since I’ve been laying around alot, I’ve had alot of time to read books. A nice little gem I stumbled accross is the Bourne books.
These things are so differnt from the movies its not funny. It seems the only thing thats the same is the name. Now that is obvious, ’cause there is SO much that happens in the first book, so many twists and turns, that it would have never worked as a movie in its original state.
But then you look at another book -> movie conversion. The Sum of all Fears. OMG that movie… the start was the same. Then they totaly ruined it.
I partly blame Harrison Ford for that, not comming back to do the third Jack Ryan movie. Patriot Games was fairly close except the sucky ending, and Clear and Present Danger was totaly awesome, strayed a little, but in an artsy way which explained it all easier.
I LOVE the Jack Ryan books, I’m just hoping that by the time Rainbow Six is made they don’t totaly fuck up the movie. I can already see a couple of Jack Ryan conversions being screwed up due to main themes in them. Its just anoying. Bloody conservitive Americas.
I mean, in 24 its taken them, what? 5 seasons to blow up a freakin’ nuke!
In other news, my hole is still sore.
I’ll let you all know now, this blog has no point, its just me rambling about these movies
