The book was a million times better than the movie. It was the first time I had read a novel that was turned into a movie and then saw the movie after reading the novel.
14-year-old me had never been so disappointed. And it taught me to never ever read the book before the movie.
My wife always gets excited when a book she loves is being adapted (right now Verity and project hail Mary) but I learned from many disappointments to not get excited. I still watch most of them but I don’t expect too much

After seeing the trailer for project, Hail Mary, it seems like they’re gonna stick pretty close to the book. Like they did with the Martian.
Film is a different medium. You can’t have the same exact story in both a movie and a book.
I just think of it as someone else telling the story.
100% this is how I roll.
It’s like complaining that a photograph of a sculpture isn’t the same as the sculpture.
I can be equally disappointed about creative decisions made by an author as well as a director as much as I can be delighted by them.
