"My lit professor liked to assign 'Breakfast at Tiffany's.'" "Oookay." "The movie doesn't turn out the same way as the book." "...Interesting news for anyone who thought they had discovered an easy shortcut." "I doubt 'Freddie Fat Cat' turns out differently on DVD, if that's your point." "Just be skeptical when Freddie starts recommending breakfast cereals."

The film “I am Legend” was rubbish, in part, because the ending was completely different from the book.The book was—and still is—a classic because of the ending.

How about “Dune”? “Lord of the Rings”? “The Hobbit”? The animated “Hunchback of Notre Dame”? “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest”?) (Okay, LOTR and Hobbit weren’t exactly rubbish, but you know what I mean.) I’ve never understood why Hollywood looks at a book, decides it would be a good movie, and then makes a film of a similar, but clearly inferior, story. The list of offenders is unfortunately extremely long.

I prefer “Fritz the Cat”. But that movie is not based on a book if you don’t count the adult comics as one.
