i read the book when i was about 9 and i loved it. 12 years later i see the movie based on the book and while it is NOT NOT NOT NOT NOT NOT NOT the same.... it is VERY good. I enjoyed the movie for what it was, and i did not pick it appart for its differences to the book. books are NOT movie, movies are NOT books. unless you are going to see a Michael Chriton (yeah.. i dunno how to spell his name, sue me.) movie, the book will almost ALWAYS be different(better) than the movie. this movie was one of the best science fiction movies i have ever seen. i don't like scifi for the big guns and monsters, i like scifi for the social interactions, and interesting concepts. as it goes i give the book an 8 on a 1-10 scale, and the movie gets a 9 on the same scale.
seeking to blame outside influinces such a TV, and video games, or whatever for violent behavor. I beleive that this violence is not the cause of video games, or TV, or movies, or the internet, or space aliens.... i believe that there is something fundamentally WRONG with these kids, and they have easy access to fire arms. if given the choice between taking a copy of Quake, or taking a gun out of a kid's hands. i would choose the gun every time. btw... this is my first post on slanshdot, ever... it is also almost 5 am in hte morning and i have been awake for 34 hours, so sorry if this doesn't make much sense

actually, i was talking about how M.C. writes screen plays and poops in our hands by calling them books.
