I'm glad I walked (aside from the massive blisters), because I passed a wonderful bakery, and was greeted with open arms because I brought cookies and brownies! 
No no no!!

Good grief! I go wash pots for a couple of hours and you all seem to get the urge to type. At least give a girl a chance to keep up....
No no no!!
Lady Scott Posted Sep 17, 2002
Why, oh why did I wait so long to check this thread? You guys have been a bunch of posting fools!!
No no no!!

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/film/2264265.stm
It's all going to be wrong! Chicken Run?!?!?!?!?! Good grief!
No no no!!

It'll be all right. Actually I think it'll be good.
I wanna be Trillian!
Can I be Trillian? Or parhaps Fenchurch?
...or are they doing them all as films, or just the first, I dunno.
No no no!!

No no no!!

They'll mess up the book... 
No no no!!
Jade (Like a lithium flower just about to bloom... She's incredible math.) and Thras (the token dragon dæmon) Posted Sep 17, 2002
No they won't because Douggie wrote the first draft.
And they know that if they do mess it up, they'll have a creepy groub of fans leaving bags of flaming dog crap on their front porches.
So there we are then.
DON'T PANIC!
No no no!!
Lady Scott Posted Sep 17, 2002
That's what always happens when books are made into movies...
Try to name even one movie that has stayed completely true to it's literary roots.
No no no!!

"Fellowship of the Rings" came d*mn close, you gotta give it to Peter Jackson.
No no no!!

Sword in the Stone stayed close to the storyline in "Once and Future King" - for that particular story, anyway.
The newer version of Dracula is actually more tightly plotted than the book but is pretty darn faithful.
But most books just barely ahve characters in common with a movie... some not even that! (Jurassic Park 2? They like took out 3 characters in the movie and put in a few extras!).
No no no!!

Hmm... that last sentence should be the other way around... 
No no no!!
random fat bird Posted Sep 17, 2002
The'll mess it up. Hollywood don't give a flying frob what the plebs think. They'll make something they can market to the 11-14 age range and forget what the original radio series and the books and the tv series were. It'll be dreadful, truly dreadful.
No no no!!

No no no!!

We should all threaten to beat them with our omnibus editions if they do it wrong... 
No no no!!
