Which one was better...the book or the movie?

sandacocos @sandacocos (64) • Romania 1 Nov 11

There are a lot of movies made after books, but one of the two is always better than the other.Give me your example of a movie that was better than the book (or the other way around,)and why do you think it was so.

mimm45 Dan Brown's "The Da Vinci Code" and John Grisham's "The Firm" are two that come to mind. For me, the movies were better than the book. I found it hard to read the book and follow the story line. Somehow the way they were written a bit difficult for me. I think...

mimm45 My best cure for migraine headaches is caffeine and sleeping in a dark room. I had migraines when I was pregnant and because I didn't want to take too much medicine my doctor told me drink coffee or coke and have a nap in a dark room. It also helps if the room...

mimm45 Ha ha ha. You reminded me of myself when I was younger. Like you, I also didn't like vegetables. I only learned to eat them when I had to live away from my family in a dormitory at the age of 20. I had no choice actually because I had to eat the food prepared...

mimm45 That's a very difficult question to answer nat. On one hand who wouldn't want their child to live again? I certainly would. Even though he's not perfect, he's still mine and I love him. I think it's true what they say (even if it's a cliche) that "I would...

chiwasaki @chiwasaki (4694) • Philippines 25 Oct 11

mimm45 Sorry to have to say this guys but I do rely on pain relievers. I get headaches a lot and with two noisy and rambunctious boys I need the medication. I do try to wait a bit (until I feel cross-eyed and nauseous from the pain) before I take any medication....

mimm45 Don't play with him. Don't talk to him unless it is necessary (such as when you tell him to do something or it's dinner time). Give him the cold shoulder. No hugs, no kisses, no smiles, no tickling etc. This is what I do when my son throws a tantrum or doesn't...

karaoke or videoke singing

rebel_woman06 @SIMPLYD (90721) • Philippines 25 Oct 11

Filipinos are said to be fond of singing. Give them a mike and they would sing, whatever they like to sing. Parties would always be videoke singing, after eating. One cannot resist the microphone when it’s passed to you. I...
