What's your favorite?

[Alia]

There are several different mediums through which someone can represent sf/f...so which is your favorite?

Book (Novel, Novella, Short Story, etc.)
Film - Movie
Film - TV Series
Poem
Art (Drawing, etc.)
*Plus any others you can think of...

I like "books" the best.

With a good book I can see it as a movie playing in my head! Therefore, I like movies, but I love books. They are so much more descriptive whereas, a movie leaves out so much information and detail it doesn't do the story honor. Often times, if I like a movie I will go and buy the book just so I know what I missed...

Also, I love art! It would be my second favorite medium!

I would have to say book, because movies usually sometimes leave alot out or arent very much like the book they were suppoused to repersent.

Looks like a lot of people are saying books and who am I to rock the bandwagon...

Books definitely hands down!!!

i love books ....but ocassionally its nice to just sit down and watch a movie and hope the writes didnt destroy it too much

Well...I love reading, but I have to say...art.
I can make up a billion stories in my head from a picture, who needs someone to do it for me?

SF Books and SF movies, for different reasons.

A good futuristic action movie is like a two hour high for a SF fan.

The SF book is more detailed and complete. The imagination translates words to worlds.

Books, they last long (for me anyway) and are often much more intricate and interesting then most movies. I find that not many good books are made into movies. I mean Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings sure but I think that these are average in comparison to some other books, such as Terry Goodkind and Raymond. E .Fiest but then these are my preferences. If I were to see GOOD books converted into movies that would be great, another book I'd like to see made into a movie is The Time Ships by Stephen Baxter to sequel the movie the Time Machine.

It has always been books for me. Definately not movies, especially if I have read the book first.

Second medium would have to be art. Something that suits my personal taste as is the case with books.

Books. No-one has yet made a film or drawn a picture of a book I've read and got it right as I see it.

 

[BAYLOR]

Book first.

My personal preference will always be books, followed by TV Series.

Movies, specifically Hollywood, aren't appealing to me at the moment, unless it's something unusual or perhaps a foreign language movie.

Books, then books, followed by... books. Next will be TV. Films are a distant fifth.
