Oyur relatively new member "the relic"'s name reminded me of the book and the movie. now, i saw the movie long before i ever read the book, and i enjoyed it. The swat guy getting chopped in half while coming out of the skylight, and the other onbe gettinghis head scissored off right in front of the camera were awesome.

But then i read the book, and although it is LONG, especially for horror, it was way better. In fact, the best character from the book never even made it into the movie (the FBI agent). Lind Hunt's chatacter in the movie was a caring older woman (as are pretty much all the women she plays), but in the book, she was a mean old bitch who i was hoping qould get her brain eaten.

There are plenty of other ones. Jurrassic Park was a Great book (decent enough movie, i love dinosaurs), but the sequal was bullshit. The Lost World Book was fantastic. Sarah Harding was my favorite character, even though Ian Malcom was my favorite from the first. What they did to her character in thwe movie infuriated me. Not only was the movie retarded (fun, but retarded), but Sarah went from a strong, intelligent, capable woman to a skinny, screechy, airheaded whatever the fuck she was. She was NOT a damsel in distress in the book...

Then, they took the white gitrl and black boy from the book, turned them into a black girl, and (Yay for the pc folk. dickheads) made her Ian's kid. The politically correctness in that movie made me want to puke.
