Movie Version Not Needed, Thank You

[Gemini Cricket]

Do you think that there are certain stories out there that should never be made into a movie?
Or do you think there was a film adaptation of something that shouldn't have been made into a movie?

Where the Wild Things Are is being made into a movie. This is one of my all-time favorite stories. I'm opposed to the idea that it is now going to be movie-ized.

There's not a lot of material there for it to be stretched into 90 minutes. Which means there will be a lot added to it that could take away from the story's simplicity.

When I first read "Brokeback" in 97 or so, I couldn't imagine it being a film. But I was plesantly surprised. But if it had never been a film, I would have been okay with that.
