the many frustrations of watching a screen adaptation that was almost better than the book
#so close and yet!!#and don't tell me adaptations arem't better sometimes#i am a book girl but shoeless joe v field of dreams is a prime example#are there things in the book that aren't in the movie that i enjoy? yes#was the movie right to streamline them? yes and yes#and sometimes it's so close and all the ingredients are there and then it becomes#wait no why did you do that#that was better in the book#i wasn't even married to this book i was good with the changes i was all on board!!#but this is just less good it is a weaker scene and weaker storytelling ahh whhhyyy#(this has been a tangent on finally finishing daisy jones)#(the karen x graham storyline was so much stronger in the book and would have translated cinematically so easilyyyyy whyyy)
