Definitely not the case. It takes me 2 hours to drive to the MET, then there is the opera, then the 2 hour drive back home.2dimes wrote:I' not sure, I was writing about tzor, the guy too busy to be contained in a theatre for 160 minutes.

Not to mention "What's Opera, Doc?"2dimes wrote:Oh, well. Can't blame a guy for missing a fishing trip because he went to the opera. Who doesn't love The Rabbit of Seville!?

I agree in general. In my case, I actually didn't read the books until after I saw the movies so my imagination was warped a bit. But after awhile I was able to push the images of the characters from the films out of my head. When I did that, I imagined Peeta looking and acting very differently than how Josh Hutcherson portrayed him.LaurieW wrote:My version is the Hunger Games. But I liked the books more than the movies. Because when you read, you mentally imagine what you are reading about. And your interpretation does not always coincide with the way directors see it.

Actually, I sort-of take that back. The character of Caesar Flickerman I was never able to supplant with how he was portrayed in the film, but I think that might have been because Stanley Tucci portrayed him so accurately.saxitoxin wrote:I agree in general.
