I find it hard to believe that anyone doesn't know what Youtube is since it is possibly the most important invention since the moving picture.

I think he Ctually means the URL, I.e., the "youtu.be."

I'm not talking about Youtube, as in youtube.com; it's the youtu.be url I'm wondering about.

I've no idea, I never take any notice of URLs.

The Notebook.

my favorite book to movie is MOON LIGHT.i really like the love story

- Lord of the Rings (Just as good as the books; in some places, better)

- To Kill a Mockingbird (One of the most masterful adaptions of all time)

- The Godfather/Godfather part 2 (I actually prefer the movies over the book)

- Gone With the Wind (Excellent adaptation for such a massive book)

- One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (Better than the book)

- The Silence of the Lambs (Really brought the characters to life...I prefer it over the book)

- The Exorcist (Best horror movie of all time, and better than the book which wasn't scary at all and somewhat dull)

Water for Elephants was a faithful adaptation.

Hi Calidore from over a year ago. That is an example of URL shortening.

I have never read the books but was forced to the cinemas when the very first movie came out. I switched after 10 minutes and I had wished I had been forced to watch something I just did not like.

i would have to say the movies were horrid! absolutely did not do justice to the books.. the harry potter series made me skeptical of all book to movie adaptations (of course that was till i fell in love with the lord of the rings movies)
