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...
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?

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.

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