if someone read the whole of Trainspotting as a book, good on them. the accent was a bit much!


No Country For Old Men, when i first read the book i knew it would become a movie, but how it follows the plot spot on, even when the book was confusing was amazing. the characters were perfect, the ending just as subversive|

(no one likely read the book tho, amirite?)

Go from the novel written by Kazuki Kaneshiro

Although it claims to be a story about love, it deals with a lot of interesting problems in contemporary society, most of them concerning nationalism. Basically, it tells the story of a Japanese guy of Korean origins and his troubled relationship with a Japanese girl.

Battle Royale from the novel written by Koushun Takami

Sometimes I wonder whether no one else ignored all the gore and thought of Thomas Hobbes and Philip Zimbardo throughout the film... but, well, I nerdly did. In any case, the things depicted in that film probably wouldn't be nearly as shocking if you just read the novel.

The Godfather -> Easily my favorite book ever and also one of my all-time favorite movies, if not the favorite.

Fight Club -> Awesome, awesome read. Jim Uhls did a great job in adapting the madness that is the book into the screen. I would even dare to say he made the movie a tad more enjoyable and appealing than the book.

I think those are the only movies that I remember that I have both read the book it's based on and the movie adaptation. Then, there's a bunch of movies that I've loved that I know are based on books (or graphic novels) but haven't read them yet.

The Shawshank Redemption
Trainspotting
American Psycho
Silence of the Lambs
300
Sin City
The Prestige
A History of Violence
Lord of the Rings
Goodfellas
Casino

Lol, I've read it a few times. I found it takes about 20 mins on each reading session to get into the flow of the phonetic Scottish, but after that it becomes pretty easy. Some of the slang was a bit tricky though, I had to text my Scottish friends to ask what the fucking words meant

Me: "Hey man, what the fuck is a 'Bufty?'"

Friend: "What?!? Why???"

Someone needs to make a movie of Ayn Rand's Atlas Shrugged.

I'm only half way through reading it for the first time and it is fucking brilliant.

For anyone that's read it:

Wikipedia informs me that the movie rights have already been purchased and that Angelina Jolie is to play Dagny Taggart and Brad Pitt John Galt, which sounds like the worst thing I can imagine.

Even though I don't like her, Natalie Portman would be awesome for Dagny Taggart and perhaps Christian Bale for Hank Rearden...

Someone needs to make an experimental film of any scientific book that has no plot whatsoever.

"I am an atom of plutonium. I'm rapidly decaying and I throw stuff around. Wee-Woo-Wee-Woo"

"I am an atom of gold. I feel empty inside, and about to be bombarded by rays full of plutonium. Oh no, here they come!!!!"

JAGGA-JAGGA-JAGGA-JAGGA-JAGGA-"AAARGHH"-JAGGA-JAGGA-JAGGA-JAGGA

...

Imagine what 90 minutes of this would be like
