I think there is like 2 or 3 novels I haven't read, perhaps a few shorts, and not too much of his essays/articles or reporting.

I'm both nervous and excited about the Witcher but haven't brought myself to watch it.
Star wars episode 9 was such a let down...
I'm tired of the Mandalorian's formulaic approach already.
Rogue one has been the best to come out of the Disney acquisition.

I haven't watched the Mandalorian yet. I may not. I dislike the formulaic approach Netflix uses and am sure Disney do similar

Excellent adaptation of source material.
Saw it yestersay and quite liked it. Only thing in find annoying is goong over the top in cgi ships to.make things look epic. Just makes it look silly to me. But then i also found gondor way overdone in LOTR.

You didn't find all those character cameos patronising? I wanted to puke.
Pretty much expected it as it tried to wrap up the series. Some things felt forced like we forget to lead up properly so here's a jump in the story but overall i thought it a fun movie. Otoh inwantrd to wall oit of rogue one as it felt like they dragged it out to include more toy models to sell. How many versions of a walker do kids want? As many as you can put in a movie it seems

Same, books into screen is fun in a lot of ways, not the least of which is picking apart how shit a job they did.
Most of the Michael Crichton adaptations have gone well, even great.
World war z was fucking woeful, and probably hurt book sales in its wake. Bloody excellent book too
The road was a rare case where I thought the movie was heaps better than the novel.
Fear and loathing in Las Vegas. Seriously, almost word for word, scene for scene identical to the book. And about the only role Johnny Depp was custom built for
Earlier Stephen King stuff was hard to watch. Poor acting, low budget, and if you didn't know the books you missed out on a lot of really dark places. Has been getting better more recently though, the mist was great, and 1408 was actually frightening.

I enjoyed the story of rogue one, but felt the film was a touch longer than it needed to be.
Spoiler! Spoiler!!! You've been warned.
I don't think there was any need to have lando, wedge, or han pop in to the film... especially those first 2. Neither added anything but fan service to the story and undermined the character's previous roles. Han returning was just odd, especially give Ford's long dislike of the films. I guess he likes money a whole lot more.

Train spotting is another good adaptation.
Fear and loathing is a great film adaptation.

Rogue one was about the only one I like of the modern series. Lack of actual story planning is a bit of an issue.
No Country for Old Men and The Road are pretty faithful too.

Same. Hard to pinpoint what I exactly think of most of them, they just seemed 'meh'. Almost nothing memorable, nothing fun, and way to caught up in cameos from the original cast.
Rouge one (deliberate mistook) on the other hand, has a pile of fun going on and a host of enjoyable characters that all die before they get a chance to really get on your nerves

Faithful isnt always the .let important thing either. I quite enjoyed last of the Mohicans in both book and film, but they are almost 2 entirely different stories.

Watched the season finale of Mandalorian, the directing by Taika Waititi was excellent.
Half-way through The Witcher, never read the books but played Witcher 3: Wild Hunt and the deviations from the game have been interesting and also filling in some holes in Geralt's back story.
Haven't seen the final Star Wars movie, but I just really haven't been willing to pay the price to watch movies on the big screen for a while.

It is the way
Hope it’s a bit longer ... 8 episodes is way too few and just a tease.
I’m enjoying the Witcher as well ... the Netflix series is my first exposure to the universe. The time thing or dimensional thing was hard to get around, but pretty cool characters
