adaptation

ok.. i guess now i hv a bone to pick wif the adaptation of material. like in the world of multifarious media today, i guess its inevitable that a work makes a transition from one medium to another. and this would be adaptation (?). 

well to some extent i guess id relli love to see ppl keep to the original. but then again u cant get anywhere without someone making changes to suit the new medium. or just cos they feel important enough to tweak it in what they see as a better direction. well specifically and personally, im always pretty interested when a bk ive read makes it to the silver screen. or vice versa. or other stuff, like songs quoting works of literature, etc. but i guess adaptation is rather relative. and subjective. like if the new product is better than the original, then i guess ur "faulty" adaptation is justified. problem is that more often than not, u hv an inherent bias whichever u r exposed to first (usually its the original). i guess this has got to do wif novelty only being experienced once anw. well ive kinda discussed that previously... and i tink it still holds more or less.

but more often than not, this phenomenon of adaptation jus leads to the bastardization of things i appreciate and sometimes its jus painful ><. im sure everyone agrees to some extent. owell. then again, there hv been several pleasant surprises. 

ho hum.
