If I don't like the book, I usually don't even bother with the movie. In my opinion it rarely gets better. Of course, I'm making exceptions for actors I like and directors I respect. But more often than not, it's still crap =)
I don't think the musical was officially recorded. And after one experience with an "unofficial" taping, I'd say it would be terrible to watch...
I think that every book must be given a chance. Ok, maybe not every, but most of them. So, if I can't force myself to keep on reading, I can at least spend two hours on watching. Cause maybe something really interesting happens in the middle? Something worth knowing about?
Still I must admit, in most cases it's not worth trying :) But miracles can happen :)
