THIS WEEK’S RANDOM QUESTION: Name a book that was turned into a movie, and completely desecrated (in your opinion)

The golden compass. I mean do I really need to say anything more then that? Did you see what they did to it? I was really excited when they first announced it and then I saw it and it was perhaps the biggest let down on the planet. I have never watched the film again beyond that first time. I probably never will.

Of course this makes me also think about the Vampire Lestat/Queen of the Damned thing that was turned into a movie. I was so upset about that one that they were cramming two books into one movie I have never even bothered to see it. I refuse to see it. You can’t skip the Vampire Lestat and you can’t cram two books together like that. You just can’t.
