Yes, movies are great but books are entirely a different thing. I don’t enjoy watching stuff as much as reading it and viewing it unfold within my mind.
What we create for ourselves is a lot more closer to our heart than anything else; like that crooked clay pot we mold, the colors we fill on a canvas, a poem we bleed from our soul or a story from a book we have read, viewed through our own imaginative juices, unreel in our mind.

That is all needs to be said.
I like both, movies and books, but I somehow dislike watching movies of a book. It doesn’t say that I don’t do it, but, if that’s the case, I prefer to first read the book (or the comic).

Yes, I prefer the very same. But still I have seen certain movies based on the books I haven’t read, like Girl Interrupted and V for Vendetta and I liked them quite a lot.
But I have never come to like those movies quite so when they are adapted from a book I have read and been myself a part of.

I think I’ve grown into a person who likes both. I like going out to the movies because I find theaters to be peaceful. No noise beyond the movie and the one jerk with a loud cellphone.

I am glad that theaters there are peaceful. Here it is a horrifying experience; like when I went to watch a political thriller and a man sitting behind me was narrating the very next scene of the movie as it unfolded on the screen. And the other time when I was kicked a number of times.
Yes, I like movies but I am not so enthralled about those which are adapted from a book. So, I prefer to watch movies on the TV late in the night; the only problem being the wretched commercials. 🙂

I aim for the low audience times. Much better.

I don’t watch TV much. Especially when I am writing. Sometimes we get a netflix series or a movie. Very rarely we go to theater to see something that just has to be seen on the big screen, like “Inception”.

I don’t go to theaters anymore or rather I don’t have anyone to go to theater with. The TV works just fine for me.
Thanks for sharing words.
