Movie better than the book?

    I'm an idiot. The movies are easier to get through than the book.

    And Dickens, the books are legendary but they took me a year to read the entire thing because of the amount of detail they have. They're an amazing work, but I prefer the movies.

    He's right. That's just stupid. You don't walk away from The Mob. Tom Cruise and his stupid-ass manufactured ending ...

    If Petty is trying to say he disagrees with the quoted premise -- and with Petty, who the fuck knows? -- I'd agree. The Firm was a much better book than a movie.

    That's actually the first thing I thought of, but that's a tough one, because the book is really, really good. But the movie is just phenomenal.

    I told my first girlfriend I'd read that book back in 2000. I'll get around to it eventually.

    The only way you're going to get around to reading that book back in 2000 is with a time machine.

    Not for any amount of Fresca. Mikey's good people.

    You, on the other hand, I'd kneecap for a thimble full of RC.
