True. I'm reading the book right now. I'm planning on renting the movie again sometime as I haven't seen it in awhile. If I remember right, you don't exactly get his total obsession with what people are wearing, correct?

no you don't. Its been years since I watched it, but it is way more obvious in the book than in the movie. You still get the business card thing and a few others....but it movie is out of order and skips a lot of great scenes that I thought were really important in the book.


luckily I read the book for a lit class in college so we looked into every chapter...so I really understand it...I think thats why I think it is sooo much better than the movie.

Unfortunately, our school has this dumb "Silent Sustained Reading" every 3rd period. I'm always afraid someone's going to look over while I'm reading one of the very detailed sex parts, lol. I love the part with the Chinese delivery boy, though.

Exactly my point..

On the other hand, someone can read a script and it's really damn good. Then in the hands of the wrong director, it get's totally destroyed.

Take True Romance / Natural Born Killers.

Both "Tarantino's" style. True Romance turned out pretty damn good, when N.B.K. didn't so much. Go back and compare the two scripts to the movie's and you can definitly see the difference.

So eh, I don't agree with you =p.

ha, yea they get graphic at times. Especially in the three girls chapters. One of the coolest thigns is later after most all the girl scenes and all teh degrading, he just says that he has 3 vaginas in his locker. thats all he reduced women too....vaginas.



we also read another sweet ass sicko book called the end of alice by A.M holmes....great pedo book.

i think they're complementary. they're almost parallel in interpretation and genius. the movie has certain factors that the novel doesn't, but it also took some away from the original. 'i want to have your abortion', for example, compared to 'i haven't been fucked like that since grade school'. both classic
and the ending.
