 We down again. I just can't wait to get on the down again. I Need to find this so I can talk with my friends. Just can't wait to get down the chair again Hello everybody. E here. Welcome back to top five Friday where I discuss my subjective top five of any number of things today We are starting a three episode series of top five Friday talking about three different types of books and Book adaptations movie adaptations and all that stuff. We're gonna be talking about this episode is books that made Great movies next week. We'll be talking about books that would make that would make great movies and Books that should never be should have never have been movies. That's our three Part series, but we're gonna go ahead and jump right in to this week's one about books that made a good movies I'm also gonna throw in TV mini series because I have to for reasons number five at number five I'm gonna go ahead and throw in fight club Fight cut fight club is a good book. It is a terrific movie. I honestly think and so does pollinic Or at least he said this in the past that the movie is a better overall experience than the book and aside from the ending being a little bit different you You do feel like the movie used the novel as the script like there was no screenwriter they just used pollinic script as the As the pollinic book as the script. Sorry. I got my words backward like I normally do you guys know me But yeah, I liked everything about this one I haven't been a huge fan of pollinic stuff Lately, but I think that I think fight club what wasn't a great book, but I do love the movie severely but It's funny because there's not much difference there. There's really no reason other than I didn't enjoy All of the book but being able to see those scenes on screen. I came to appreciate those scenes more So maybe it was my reading comprehension is why I didn't care too much for you know care too much for The movie not book the book whatever I need to wake up number four and at number four we have no country for old men Fantastic movie not gonna sit here and say it's better than the book because I love the book as well But I really really enjoyed this movie and I think that speaks a lot to McCarthy's characters McCarthy's plotting his pacing all that stuff because it is close ish to the book But Anton sugar. I can never remember the actor's name. Is it man? I don't want to I don't want to say his name wrong I got on the tip of my tongue, but I don't want to murder it. That was your time The Jones was great. Everybody in that movie was fantastic. I feel and I think the the source material It just it just screamed for an adaptation and the adaptation who was it that was the Cohen brothers I can't I can't remember who did I always get like the Farley brothers Cohen, but I get them all confused So whoever it was, I mean Brothers at all. I think the Farley brothers not Farley Farley brothers do the comedies and Cohen Do does do whatever they do the serious stuff But yeah, so number four is no country for old men If you have not seen the movie or if you have seen a movie and all and not read the book Go pick up the book because it is it while it is the same overall themes and vibes and scenes and things like that You get a lot deeper experience like you normally do with a book. That's kind of why I say that the fight club The fight club book isn't as good as the movie because you get a better sense of what Pollinic was trying to accomplish With the movie and that's so weird because you had nothing to do with the script. I don't think number three At number three. We have a tie that calm down. This is my list of do what I want the tie is between the series you based on Caroline Ketnes' Book you Hidden bodies and hopefully third season is based on you love me even though I haven't read it yet Stop asking me for a word. I haven't read it yet. I ain't got no time. Anyways That's why I'm doing all these extra different kinds of videos because I don't really have too much time to be reading And if you didn't watch my comic book Batman hush review, then you know, you're not gonna know that So I'm putting that here because seems like every one of you watch these top five Fridays And I love you for it. I really do and that's a lie because there's like 9,000 plus of you almost 10,000 of you and these videos still get under a thousand views But what I'm saying is a lot of you watch it. So here we go But it's a tie between you and Hannibal Of course based on the Hannibal books by Thomas Harris So those two are tied because I love them both same Z's and they're both mini series So they fit in here The the reason why of well the reason for me the first two seasons of Hannibal are fantastic the the third Season is very slow while they're doing the adaptation of the book Hannibal before the book red dragon Which is weird because red dragon comes before Hannibal the book I know it's super confusing, but Hannibal is not a very good book It didn't make a very good movie would Julianne Moore and whoever else was in a raleota It didn't make a good movie. It didn't make a good season But the Francis Dollar Hyde and Reba stuff. Well, it's just that the red dragon stuff at the end of season three Completely makes up for it. I wish they had just done that I don't really see a purpose for any of the Hannibal stuff The Hannibal book stuff, but anyways as far as you is concerned. I love I love Joe Goldberg I love one of it back. I love love. I love all of these characters and seeing them They're perfect casting in this show, and I was very very happy with it now as far as I Don't have any issues with with with you, but here's the thing I like the first two seasons of Hannibal more than I liked All of you even though I love them both But there was that there's that little bit in season three of Hannibal that I didn't like and I look I liked all of the you stuff so far both see both two seasons So what I mean, I'm calling them tied I give these explanations because people tend to go what do you mean that doesn't make any sense If you didn't like this on this one, why are they top calm down? I just explained it anyways So yeah, that's number three. It's a tie. You don't like it. Go make your own list number two at number two Hold your horses at number two. We have a controversial opinion at number two We have odd Thomas by Dean Coons. I peep this Dean Coons I have a on again off again love-hate relationship with the man, okay, but Odd Thomas was kind of like a return to form just for a split second before he went full potato now with Todd Thomas the movie Unfortunately, we're never gonna get another one with Anton Yelchin because he sadly passed away One of the greater tragicities in the in the Hollywood spectrum actors or whoever that one really hit me as I to me It felt like a James James Dean's death kind of deal So yeah, that was horrible tragedy, but that odd Thomas movie man that odd Thomas movie got everything right Was it a perfect film? No was Coons book perfect No, but it was it was a lot of fun And I put this at number two because I own odd Thomas and I watch it every now and again The other night we streamed it for absolutely no reason wasted internet streaming it that actually not the other night This was earlier in the month before my data cat data cap ran out Anyways the this is one of those movies at any time. I look at it. I don't mind watching it Like it's the more I was thinking about it. The one I was thinking. Yeah, I mean, it's a good movie I don't know what else to say and it was a good book that was made into a good movie And this is one of the very very few movies that Dean Coons likes and I like so his there are Adaptions he loves movies, but it's this adaptation that he likes the most other. Well, we all know the you know watchers and several other of his things have been mishandled by Hollywood although Ben Affleck's the bombing Phantoms, you know number one. Okay, so at number one We have something that You're not gonna expect from me. Yeah, you're not but it's number one because I can't think of a better Adaptation that's not Stephen King and of course if you guys want this list in a Stephen King Stephen King themed let me know down there in the doobly-doo. I know you guys are gonna say yes I'll just go ahead and do it anyways, but let me know if you want me to do that down there so number one is Hellraiser by Clyde Barker in both aspects because I believe he directed the movie we didn't direct it He wrote it. I'm pretty sure he directed it So hellraiser and the hell-bound heart by Clyde Barker. Sorry. I know everybody other It's actually caught calm down calm down. I misspoke. I do it a lot if you're a fan of the channel You know that I misspeak a lot Yeah, this this one. I don't think there's any other adaptation that I I enjoy more That then hellraiser and it's because hellraiser the visual the the visuals in that book make for such a good movie So this isn't really a list of the best adaptations I think it's books that with the way I looked at this list was These are books that were predestined to make fantastic movies Or at least good good movies everybody said I thought you said our Thomas was affected. Okay. I'm sorry. It's it's good But this one is fantastic and I use fantastic a lot to the point where you know, it doesn't mean anything just like I say You know, you say sorry or I love you too much. It just completely loses its meaning But this this one truly is fantastic. I I can watch hellraiser. I am a huge fan of the entire series I don't care. Well, sorry only the Bradley Hellraiser's I don't I don't even recognize and that's why I didn't even think to when I said the whole series I don't even think to include him that abomination that was called revelations And then the other one after that the two new reboots are absolutely garbage. So all the Bradley Doug Bradley Is that right? I think all the Doug Bradley Hellraiser's I like yes, even debtor. Yes, even the ones people can't stand The part three is probably my favorite one I know I know calm down hell on earth is I love the brutality especially of the nightclub scene And also, I'm a big fan of bloodlines. Those are probably my two favorite movies in the series But I can't I but I cannot ignore the perfection that is that first movie It's just I have more fun with three and four than I do with the first one Even though I respect the first one for what it is and that it was based on the hellbound heart and the hellbound heart Was fantastic also. So that's it for today for this episode of top five Friday If you have a list of books that you feel were predestined to make amazing movies Please let me know down there in the doobly-doo. I'd love to see them Even if there's only one of them even if there's only three if there's 20 Just write it all down there in the doobly-doo. I want to read it. I want to see it But until next time I have any you've been you this has been another episode of top five Friday I'll talk to you guys later. Bye. Bye
