Movie Thread

[Irving]

Just sat through Tim Burton completely butcher Miss Peregrine's Home For Peculiar Children. I understand culling minor characters to speed up the story, and making some changes for the screen, but completely, and unnecessarily changing characters is annoying and insulting to the original story. The movie strayed very far from the book, but there are three books, and we've only read two chapters into the second book, so I'm not sure if they incorporated some of the second story line or went full retard on the script.

This is why I don't read books.

I want to be able to enjoy a movie for what it is and not have a pre existing story to have to compare it to.
