quote 21:51:15
“ Movies, even those that run nearly 3 hours long, are more like short stories than novels, and TV shows, with the space for digression and intricate plots twists, are more like novels. But in a perverse irony, movies and TV shows have the reverse prestige of short stories and novels, and so the temptation is to take higher prestige novels and turn them into movies. ”
Amanda Marcotte on pandagon.net, talking about how Harry Potter was more suited to a long-running TV adaptation than the current movies.
The actual post is full of spoilers, but who doesn’t know how part six goes? Still, you’ve been warned.
