Re: Movie or book first?
Oops, forgot my favorite author -- Heinlein's Starship Troopers. It really did amaze me that they basically turned a teen sci fi book into such a horrid adult movie. Fortunately, they didn't totally destroy The Puppet Masters.
And, of course, Hebert's Dune series.
Asimov's short stories Bicentennial Man and Nightfall.
Stephen King's books.
Ayn Rand's The Fountainhead and Atlas Shrugged.
Farewell to Arms; Grapes of Wrath; The Red Pony and so on for Messrs. Hemingway and Steinbeck.
Dean Martin in the Matt Helm series.
The James Bond movies.
Okay, I quit -- at least for now. There are more that keep coming into my head but someone else should have a chance to name more. Right?
BTW -- Do you get the feeling I like sci fi and gore? lol
