So meta right now I feel like hank hill.

Yeah, make them do a proper adaptation, like The Martian.

I was mostly being facetious. I think it's a sad state of affairs when a movie studio or production company can't just use the exact words that the author intended for dialogue, and even worse is when they remove characters or add new ones. The recent string of hobbit movies were pretty much exactly what is wrong with Hollywood.

To be honest, I don't think I've read anything of hers. A lot of books would be much better suited to being made into episodic tv shows, similar to ASOIF. Two hours isn't really enough to bring out the depth of characters. But yeah, the Martian was written a lot like a screenplay.
