ANTS!!!!!!!!!

Has anyone ever read the book "Casino Royale" and compared it to the
movie of the same name? About all they have in common is the title and
main character is called "James Bond."


True..very true.

Im currently reading the Full version of The Stand for the first time.
King prefaced the novel with the fact he was required to pull 50,000
words out of the first published books due to constraint of size by
his publisher.

Lots of changes, lots of background, lots more charector development
in this one.

So its not only the movies that suffers from this sort of thing.

I picked up a copy of Dune, as done by the Sci Fi Channel as a
mini-series. Much better than the David Lynch version. Then picked up the
"directors cut" which is only about fifteen minutes longer, but those
fifteen minutes (scattered through the series), is many little bits of
business which "make sense". (The whole seduction of Faid Harkonnen by
Princess Irulan "works" when you don't edit out her substituting of her
handmaid.)

And this Paul Atriedes, he may be a "boy", but he has been groomed to
take command, and he knows it. Noblesse Oblige, and all that.
