Depends on the book/movie/game and the reader/watcher/gamer.

Yeah, but... Shelob was much scarier in The Two Towers than she was as a special effect in The Return of the King.

(PS: Andrew, I'm going to link to this poll from my livejournal - assume it's okaywithyou unless you say otherwise...)

Some things work better for me in book form, some things work better in film form.

I wasn't, for instance, scared of the spiders in Chamber of Secrets until I saw the film.

But I have been moved very much by a lot of books.

Aargh. I hate you. I'm torn.

Help me, I'm scared! For once I'm part of the Majority! Visuals in books are a personal thing, as detailed and as baroque as you wish. Lovecraft's "The Thing On The Doorstep" still makes my flesh crawl even now. Text games have better visuals tough saying that "Starship Titanic" has stunning visuals and many of the clues/gags/plot developments are visual based, indeed a lot of work went into generatig the right atmosphere. As I said before films are great but Hollywood has a habit of going for all-out eyecandy and forgetting to hire a good scriptwriter until there's only 0.5% of the budget left. I gaive you, the jury, Terminator 3 as prime candidate...

I really miss the old Psion and Level 42 adventures on the Speccy.

Great stuff - wish Scott Addams would come back and do some more text adventures too.

knowing your LJ friends better than me, is there a pattern to the sorts of people that answeared films and 3d games??

I'd love to assosiate the book thing to my dyslexia?? or at least the side effect of that, the imaturity of imagination, due to only ever reading 6 books?

Re:

[andrewducker]

They're a bunch of readers.

And yeah, it's because you're dyslexic. Books aren't transparent to you, they're work.
