[QUOTE="CaryP, post: 8758, member: 34"] [b]Time Travel Movie Buff[/b] Karizma, As you pointed out, most books are generally far superior to the movies made from them. This is especially true for Michael Crichton and Anne Rice. The movies have to get so much into somewhere between 90 to 120 minutes. Unless we're talking some big budget epic, and then maybe 2 1/2 to 3 hrs. max. I've read a few of Anne Rice's books. They're very good, just not my usual genre. She's from New Orleans. Has a beautiful house in the Garden District. I've heard her on one of the morning talk radio shows a few times. Sounds like a very nice lady, whose fame hasn't gone to her head. I've got an idea for a thread - books/ideas you'd like to see produced as a movie. Probably give away a few multi-million dollar ideas to Hollywood. That might get a few of the folks talking here. With the current technology in movie making, just about anything is possible in what can "show up" in the final film, and look very credible. We'll probably get to the point where movies are made with a few actors going through the motions on blue backgrounds, with all the special effects being the main part of movie "making". Anyway, thanks for the exchange. Cary [/QUOTE]
