But only some episodes... since I've seen more or less all of them, I know when it's one I can skip. ;)<br /><br />@Kimberly: I agree on The Colour of Magic. It's kind of funny, when I look at this list, just how many movies made from books that I've seen, since I usually don't like them. :/ I remembered this earlier when Under the Tuscan Sun came on... the movie is a completely different story than the one in the book.Suhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11862479925124552922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8552468.post-78965040475371818192011-08-03T13:02:45.422-04:002011-08-03T13:02:45.422-04:00I really want to read The Help and then rent the m...I really want to read The Help and then rent the movie when it comes out on DVD. I read 1984 before seeing all versions of that movie, and I read the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy "Trilogy" before watching the original TV series and the movie. Oh yes, I also read Terry Pratchett's Discworld books (Rincewind series) then watched The Color of Magic and the movie was a huge disappointment.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10130190745143243753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8552468.post-45487910078617397422011-08-03T04:15:12.647-04:002011-08-03T04:15:12.647-04:00Awww, Little House on the Prairie!
