There are great stories originating from books that eventually get made into movies.  Sometimes the movie is a good adaptation, but we know it will never be as good as the book.  My theory is partially related to the fact that descriptions of taste, thoughts,  mixed emotion vs actions, as well as things left up to ones imagination are often solved in the readers mind.  Interpretations of how to keep the story moving, relevance to plot, and engaging the viewer through action are often dilemmas addressed in movies.  Outside of this one might also think that the director is using the story line loosely to secretly tell his/her own story.  Regardless of the outcome, a person interested in reading should rarely decide not to read based on a movie interpretation.  A movie can only inspire people who haven’t read the subject, to give the book a chance.  In short, movies which are based on books should only increase readership and not the other way around.

I worked on the image below back in January of this year  for a PBR Contest.  I didn’t make the cut, but have decided to post the stages.  The idea was to make a Professional Beer Rocketeer.  Thoughts of a mechanical beer bull also came to mind.
