I think mine’s Z for Zachariah. The book is insane. A psychological survivalist thriller between a 14 year old girl and a strange man with unknown intent. The movie is… not this. They changed everything meaningful about the characters and lost all the tension. Hope someone does it properly one day. What’s your adaptation peeve?

    I enjoyed the one with Michael B Jordan and Michael Shannon. Bradbury isn’t one I’d ever give credit for being clever in his allegory so changing the aesthetics to be a bit cyberpunk dodged a lot of the issues I have with the core premise of the story

      I didn’t really care for it, it was nothing like the book I understand they added their own cyberpunk element.

      I treat that movie the same I would treat David Lynch’s adaption of Dune as a standalone film it was OK, but as a lover of the book I just could not get into it
