I think it is a similar rule snoopcester Send a noteboard - 27/05/2010 12:15:07 PM
Generally any work is better in the original media it was intended for. There are always exceptions to the rule though... I just can't think of any off hand

2001 is sort of one, if I'm remembering correctly it was a joint film and book.

I see your point, and to a large extent I agree, but... Cockatiel of Doom - 01/06/2010 12:35:53 AM 812 Views
