hey guys,
skipthisone made a comment in another thread

basically saying that the movie versions of stephen king books suck (and we're not just talking vampires here!). I've always believed that books should not be made into movies and vice versa. something always seems lost in the translation. a friend mentioned that the only thing Crichton's 'Jurassic Park' had in common with the movie was that they both dealt with dinosaurs.
what's your take? do you prefer to read, or wait for the movie? if you knew a movie was based on a book, would you hunt out the book first?
