Probably why I am crazy about movies and books, not necessarily in that order though!RShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11472333363851646195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5816833.post-1115005738514990172005-05-01T23:48:00.000-04:002005-05-01T23:48:00.000-04:00Agreed..But it needs more time;a religious dedicat...Agreed..<BR/>But it needs more time;a religious dedication towards reading with full concentration in order to paint the vivid picture from novels,than what it takes to just casually watch the same story in a movie,while non-chalantly enjoy the bag of popcorns and coke!<BR/>Ofcourse,as you said,the scope of a million different scenarios from a book's description, gets constrained to 1 single scene/event in a movie.<BR/>-Raapirajeshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01738805901846703812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5816833.post-1115004775300445132005-05-01T23:32:00.000-04:002005-05-01T23:32:00.000-04:00Yup..dual deja vu :) Actually, true-blue deja vu f...Yup..dual deja vu :) Actually, true-blue deja vu for me coz I had done a more specific, less eloquent post on movies made from books a long time back (Sorry, don't know to do the linking thing on this space or else I'd share! I think in Nov/Jan..if u're curious!)<BR/>So, how do u like Vikram Seth?RTD2https://www.blogger.com/profile/07710784540684786379noreply@blogger.com
