I will most likely read the books at some point. I'm also LOVING TrueBlood, but I'm hesistant to pick up the books as well. Just want to enjoy the series as is for now. Rarely do the movies do the books justice. I read The Godfather before I saw the movies and thought Coppola did an excellent job with those movies. I loved The Bourne Identity, and the movie didn't compare to the book. Same with Stephen King's The Stand - loved that book and the TV movie was pretty good, but not as good as the book. Enjoyed the Colin Firth version of Pride and Prejudice a lot.Carol Ericsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05957449133993571882noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14738657.post-58589774101698927582009-06-27T00:16:21.737-04:002009-06-27T00:16:21.737-04:00I actually don't watch much movies at all! Th...I actually don't watch much movies at all! The few that I did and loved was OUTSIDER that's on DVD (Showtime did the movie). Based on Penelope Williamson's historical romance (OUTSIDER). It was with Time Daly and Naomi Watts<br />I think this was one they did wonderful. Its a western so its yummy!<br /><br />I know I have to watch more TV and movies but I love the reading and watching the old TV shows and game shows! My son has read and watched every Harry Potter, many times over too! He's been telling me to at least read the first book for years now. Some day!Caffeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11830854922444380155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14738657.post-4428144169201144202009-06-26T14:54:03.911-04:002009-06-26T14:54:03.911-04:00Great post, Esme!! The only one that comes to mind...Great post, Esme!! The only one that comes to mind is Gone With the Wind. I read the book first, in high school. Then a couple years later finally got around to watching the classic movie. I liked both but I loved the book more. They left out a lot and changed a lot. Oh, The Firm is another one. I loved both the book and the film but they were different. I have enjoyed watching all the Harry Potter movies, Twilight and True Blood but haven't read the books. Saves time.
