Matheson, Media, Message

So I would like the feed back on anyone who sees this video, I'm specially addressing it to:

Professoranton: http://www.youtube.com/user/Professoranton
and conferencereport: http://www.youtube.com/user/conferencereport


I'm constructing my case in the video, but the question is very simple:

Why does Hollywood dumb-down and castrate the message of most of the adaptations of books to the screen?

Cases in point:

I am Legend (book by Richard Matheson)
Solaris (book by Stanislaw Lem)
The time machine (book by Orson Wells)

All responses are appreciated.
