>>10332535
guess i'm retarded then :3

>>10332307
Even Palahniuk liked the movie better.

I feel compelled to post this because the movie is the best peice of art ever made, even though I think comparing the movie and book in this case is meaningless and stupid as they were explicitly not even attempting to do the same thing.

>>10333280
The book was written in tandem with the script. The film isn't really based on the book

>>10333280
>the best piece [sic] of art ever made

The comic this is based on is absolute trash

>>10333292
Exactly.

>>10333299
I'll kill you you bald fucker.

>>10333266
The book feels like it was written to be turned into a screenplay.

>>10333328
I respectfully disagree, if only because I love HST's writing voice so much, and some of an author's voice is inevitably lost in the translation to film. Still a fun watch though.

Pleb shit GTFO

E-explain T_T

op meant to reference the book white noise by don delillo while posting a completely different movie
almost no one itt got it and keeps posting adaptations instead. SAD!

>>10332496
The movie was fucking awful. I went to see it in the cinema but I fell asleep when the main character's old crew came back to save him. I briefly woke up to witness the main character flying through space like iron man because he put holes in his suit from which air jetted, and I knew it was perfectly okay to go back to sleep. The movie was beyond retarded.

>>10332455
>One flew over the cuckoo's nest.
Really? I was planning on reading it.

>>10333503
The book was significantly worse

>>10333596
Not that anon but the book is fucking amazing. One of my all time favourites and definitely worth reading even if you've seen the film.

>>10332786
for 4 seasons, then it became like a bad fanfiction

>>10333421
White Noise is a book by Don Delillo. The movie White Noise in the OP is in no way related to the book by Don Delillo. It even says on its Wikipedia page "not to be confused with the book of the same name by Don Delillo". OP's joke and the theme of the thread was to post a movie with the same title as a book, which is not related to the book whatsoever.

>>10333280
>a movie
>best piece of art ever made
You can only pick one.

>>10333043

Roadside Picnic is a great book. I just want to say that.

>dude martian lmao

you have to go back >>>/reddit/

>>10332375

Everyone says this but I wonder how many actually read the book

>>10333028

is this even true? i mean i heard the book delves into the philosophical themes a bit more but i never read it

>>10334596
I did, the movie is 100% better. The only thing you could argue is better about the book is Jack Torrance having better character development and going insane gradually instead of always being a crazy asshole like in the film, but the movie is one of the best horror films ever made and is a case of fantastic directing elevating a mediocre/generic story.

>>10334526
That's just like, your opinion, man.

>>10333028
Wow no. The book is better. And I love the movie.

>>10333438
Oh, never heard of either one so I failed to make a connection :/

>>10332470

Fuck you and the horse you came in on.

>>10333796
That was too advanced for me :(

>>10333338
That's funny because book was considered to be unfilmable

>>10333596
The book is still good and worth reading

none, Hollywood. gtfo psueds

>>10332416
Fucking this. Garbage book. Godlike movie.

>>10333301
You could remove those gratuitous sex scenes and nothing would be removed from the film other than your boner.

>>10333328
Watched this last night and loved it. Book worth checking out?

>>10332307
The Shout by some unpronouncable Polak.
The Robert Graves short story ain't half as good.

Barry Lyndon

>>10333796
The more I read about this OP fella, the more I don’t care for him.

>>10333596
I would watch the movie before reading the book. I won't say why, because it contains a massive spoiler.

But the movie is far superior to the book and, in my opinion, the greatest movie of all time.

>>10335274
Eh, I think that lust is a theme. They relate to each other sexually, but otherwise their class distinction keeps them from forming a long-term relationship

>>10334526
