<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR> I haven't gone into any depth here, but the only reason you can call the changes made "atrocious" is if you are a hardcore book fan and are overly-obsessed with the exact events of the book on film. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>I think "overly-obsessed" is taking things a bit far, don't you? We are all entitled to our opinions, without trying to insult the people whose opnion is not yours. A couple of my friends didn't like the movie and they haven't read the books. What are they? My brother liked the first movie until he read the book. Now he thinks the changes were stupid. What is he? Too each his own, I say.<P>I hope that didn't sound too cranky. <p>[ January 30, 2003: Message edited by: Darkside ]
