Books and Movies

[mnaz]

Books take awhile.
Movies, just two hours.
Why the rush? Why?
Neither does justice.
No art imitates life,
lost in translation.

sometimes the physical appearance of the protagonist as described by the author looks nothing like Robert Redford
Most interesting thing I have read about novelization is when Kubrick was directing Full Metal Jacket and threw the beat marine who wrote it off the set

Yes the book
In my phone I can read
About clear communication

Yes I am in a hurry
Always
But t v does not work anymore
The quiet
The early morning
I dunno about anything
Really
But yeah
I like it

I often wonder how movies are called "overlong" if they run past 120 or 125 minutes, which is hardly a drop vs. the subject matter. Talk about short attention span. That's why I like some of Leone's work, scenes that feel at least a little closer to a pace of life, not like 93 minutes of hyper-snippet highlight reels. But I'm no critic. At least it takes more than 120 minutes to read a book. Usually.
