I disagree, I think film is better because the book is brought to life and if it's well done then it'll be a great film reguardless of the reasons you listed above. Perfect example - The Shining
Gah!

But this is exactly the problem between The Shining the film and The Shining the book - picturing Jack Nicholson crazed from the outset in Kubrick's movie, the bonkersly winsome Shelley Duvall, not to mention the crude shocks... are all at odds with the feel of King's book.

Kubrick changed the supernatural elements, and while he made an undeniably effective film, it is very, very different from the original story - and if anything, detracts from it.

Its always funny to hear newbs call newer newbs newbs. Yo Sadistro, you only got 170 posts. That doesnt make you a regular around here either.
Also remember, bwind22, that I'm also in my 5th incarnation around after being banned, blocked, etc. for a squabble a ways back with a mod (I was originally DVP). The 170 is only under my current screen name (which is still 159 more than book boy).

Isn't that porn-slang for "Double Vaginally Penetrated"?

Oh okay, you're DarthVP. You arent a newb then. You see what happens when I am away from the site for a few months? You guys go and get banned again and when I get back you all have new names.
