The Catch-22 thingy
If you realized, i’ve been trying to read the catch-22 book for some time already now. But then, it came out on HBO and i thought i’d watch it. While reading the book, i thought the movie would make sense. I was wrong. I’d have to say it was one of the weirdest movies i’ve ever watched and although it had it’s hidden motives and etc but it was still so weird. It didn’t prompt me to finish the book though, rather it delayed my attempt. but the main reason is actually i have other reading materials that i need to finish first but that doesn’t change the fact that the story’s weird. so that’s my conclusion but who knows that maybe after finishing the book, it’ll all seem different then. who knows…

fiq…. one thing… just finish the book! as u know i have a tendency to get movie-tie-ins… and there IS actually a reason behind it ;p the book and the movie almost always end up being different. and USUALLY… the book’s better ;p

dude the book itself is a bit weird. so take it from me, most of the time the movies follow the basic spirit of the books…
