Why do I ever watch movies made from books I liked? I finished reading Stieg Larsson’s Milennium Trilogy the other night, and decided to watch the movies for fun. The irritating, unnecessary plot changes, important removed scenes, missing characters, and general inferiority to the books are making me hate, even though they are pretty good movies in their own right. I’ve quite enjoyed some of the grapic novel derived movies of late (The Watchmen was excellent, if divergent, and Scott Pilgrim was honestly better as a movie), but novel derived movies are almost always irritating.

Please, please, stop referring to yourselves as ‘consumers.’ OK? ‘Consumers’ are different than citizens. Consumers do not have obligations, responsibilities, and duties to their fellow human beings. And as long as you’re using that word ‘consumer’ in the public discussion, you will be degrading the quality of the discussion we’re having, and we’re gonna continue to be clueless going into this very difficult future that we face.
