Conversations With Myself About Movies - Reading The Book
So I saw your Harry Potter and Hunger Games
sins videos. Yeah?
Read the books, asshole! So youre saying that any movie based on
a book, I need to read the book first? Yeah.
Okay, All the Presidents Men. That movies based on a book, and Ive never read it,
but that movies awesome. You wanna know why? Cause they explain everything.
And that
movies entertaining. And its better than Harry Potter and Hunger Games. Combined.
Youre comparing one of the most important political stories of our time to fantasy novels?
Now, lets just say the movie All the Presidents Men didnt explain everything, maybe theres
a phone call or a clandestine parking lot meeting, but we dont get to see it. But
all the sudden Woodward & Bernstein know all this sh*t about Watergate but we didnt
see how they learned it.
Right, now you would sit there and tell me to go read the book.
Well, what Id probably say Or youd say, Dont worry about it,
you can figure it out in five seconds if you just think about it. Well, sure, I can
figure out that somebody told them. Somebody probably that worked at the White House. But
if I dont know who it is, if I dont understand their
They make movies like Harry Potter for people who read the books.
Bullsh*t.
Studio guys would throw themselves off a bridge if they made book money. Are
you telling me the only people they want to enjoy the movie are the people who read the
book? Filmmakers cant put everything from the
book into the movie. Why does it matter if Hagrid is dragging a tree. What the f*ck is
wrong with you? Ill tell you why.
Magic. Im watching
a movie about magic and theyre making this poor bastard drag a giant f*cking tree all
the way across campus. Is he married to Darrin, from Bewitched? Do they have some kind of
a gay pact-- Why does the pact have to be gay?
--To not do magic? Look, all this is explained--
In the book? Yeah, well thats another thing. Why do I even care what you people who read
the book think? You people are the hardest to please in the world.
You nitpick everything.
Oh, they changed the boa constrictor to a Burmese python! Or they didnt do Peeves
the poltergeist! Or they left out the Sorting Hats song! But if I point out one inconsistency
in the movie, you tell me Go read the book. Makes everything better, right?
Well, you wouldnt ask as many stupid questions after.
And while were on the subject of magic is it like the Force? Do you have to believe
you have it before you actually have it? I. Mean, theyre all sitting around waving
wands, doing this pseudo-Latin. If it really comes down to who pronounces it the best,
arent they really just taking language courses?
I think its like what Malcolm Gladwell said.
It takes, like, 10,000 hours of practice
to become a master. Well then Hermoine should be the best wizard
in the whole series. All she ever does is read, study, correct people, and go to the
library. Shes a better wizard than Ron.
Shes a better wizard than Harry. Shes
probably a better wizard than Dumbledore. Dumbledore definitely has more than 10,000
hours of practice. Thats why he does magic in one movie out
of eight..
