Watched the movies and enjoyed them, could never really get into the books, I think I'm just not really a fan of the horror genre.

Great point about movie remakes being awful!

Good job I'd finished me coffee before getting to this post. It would have been all over the dog and carpet otherwise.

It is, however, thought provoking and very well written. Many consider De Sade to be a genius.
The film adaptation, 'Bend over and Spread 'em' (Sullivan Films...1978) is a fucking load of old shyte barely raising a stirring when I had the old chap out and prepared in the Eros Cinema Soho prior to me being thrown out.

Have you seen the original IW? I haven't seen the 2017 version but the Mcqueen and Hoffman one is pretty good. Well it was at the timeIronworksfc wrote: ↑Tue Apr 06, 2021 9:56 pm So your definition and mine of what's a good book might differ, but the 2017 movie adaptation of papillon is total fucking garbage IMO. Watched it on one of the favorite streaming platforms and could not believe how absolutely crap it was compared to the story told in the book.
Any others?

Might be an idea to reopen Devils island to accommodate illegal immigrants.
