Frazz by Jef Mallett for December 02, 2013
Transcript:
Caulfield: What are the three best ways to prevent regret? Frazz: Hmm. Seat belts, helmets, and the on-deck circle between your thoughts and your actual speech. Caulfield: So I'm safe to watch the movie version of my book-report book. Not taking the easy way out is also right up there. Caulfield: That's why I only asked for three.
Nowadays the “Movie Version” can have VERY Little to do with the Book it’s supposedly based on.
Exhibit A – Will Smith’s – “I, Robot”
The Movie doesn’t have ANYTHING to do with ANY of the Stories in a Short Story Collection that has sold MILLIONS of Copies since the 1950’s, and YET somehow they expected nobody to notice this!
If it IS something else, they should CALL IT something else. I wanted to go out to the Box Office and get my money back for “False Advertising.”
