lol, yeah, I get what you're saying. For me, it just kinda depends what it is. I saw Hunt for Red October, Patriot Games, and Clear and Present Danger all long before reading the books, and didn't have a problem with it. It depends on the subject, and the individual one in question, too. The thing is, movies of books tend to kind of suck, horribly, in comparison; so lots of times I kind of prefer to see the movie first, so I don't watch it and just get utterly peeved about how horribly they killed it, but instead see it and enjoy it, then go read after, and am pleased by how much better the book was. =P
