If Hollywood Was a Person

Every Saturday we feature webcomics we enjoy. Today we bring you Subnormality, a relatively new webcomic by relatively Canadian author, Winston Rowntree. According to Mr. Rowntree, his comics "contain weird characters, endless opinions and occasionally huge walls of text, but people seem to like them anyway." We certainly do.

Today, a short comic that forgoes huge walls of text to focus on one exceptionally weird character ...

Check out more Subnormality at viruscomix.com.



Yeah but think of how many time you heard about about the movie before the book.

Hollywood should take the book, s**t all over it, and then return it.

I agree with IMNOTINSANE. While the comic can be taken to be a criticism of Hollywood's inability to take books and adapt them to theater, I think it's better to interpret it as Hollywood's tendency to distract people from what is really important in life. The distraction can come from the movies themselves, or even the way people have an obsessive desire to waste time reading about the personal lives of the people in Hollywood.

You people suck. The comic has absolutely nothing to do with hollywood adapting books into film. It just portrays hollywood as an annoying, insane, childish mother f****r that distracts from worthwhile things in life.

Got a few more to add to your list, serial. Timeline, by Michael Crichton. One of my favorite books...and they cast Paul Doucheface Walker as the lead role, totally butchered the book. Eragon, book was goodish, movie blew. Whatever...what i want to see is a Moby Dick remake. Like what King Kong should've been, i want it to be like Titanic. Long enough for an intermission, massive special effects, white whale with centuries worth of harpoons jutting from it's back...all of it. see, in my mind, if I were in charge, the book would be my script. Sure, some things you gotta leave out, but it's whoever decides these things that is important. They always leave out the most important s**t, and add some nonexistant love connection because they think that's what we want. Hollywood is like our government...cumbersome and clueless.

Unfunny. But thanks for trying.

That strip is so true. You guys remember how they butchered the Lord of The Rings series? Or how about how grossly inaccurate the Harry Potter movies are in regards to the books? Ooh! Or how about Jurassic Park? Or the slew of celluloid versions of Dracula, such as Francis Ford Coppela's version or the classic Nosferatu, or Bella Lugosi's timeless rendition?

Man, Hollywood just can't adapt books into a film that does the original story justice.

Not really funny, but makes sense to me. Hollywood now takes popular literature away from us by ruining it in film, then making most of us never want to read or finish the book ever again. It steals away the enjoyment of a good book and fucks it up with celebrities.

This is really starting to annoy me, first white ninja and now this. The series are great, but the comics cracked likes to show tend to really suck.
