10 Ways to Deal with a Disappointing Film Adaptation of a Loved Novel

We’ve all experienced excitement when we learned that our favorite novels were being adapted into Films. Unfortunately, we’ve also experienced the crushing disappointment of watching those adaptations crash and burn, lacking any respect for the source material. Recovering from this can be as difficult as experiencing heartbreak or death.

In light of this, here are 10 ways to deal with a disappointing film adaptation of a favorite novel.

Find a different novel to change your mind. Sometimes, all a person needs to change their state of mind is to focus their thoughts on some other interesting story (maybe one that either already has a good adaptation, or one that would be utterly impossible to transfer onto the screen).

Create your homemade faithful adaptation. Why not write your own screenplay, create costumes, hire the neighborhood kids as actors, film scenes, add a soundtrack and special effects, and voila! You have a great movie based on your book at a relatively low cost.

Place the picture of whomever was responsible for the movie on a punching bag or dartboard. Expel all the anger contained in your body while also having great fun by simply punching and/or throwing darts!

Visit a psychiatrist and join group therapy. Sometimes, it helps talking to someone about your inner feeling. Most people have said that this method has helped them get their troubled selves back to normal.

Create an online petition for the film to be remade. A petition (Kickstarter) helped Veronica Mars fans get the movie they had always wanted.

Write your own award-winning book or play that voices your disgust on the matter. What do you know? Maybe your memoir itself will be adapted into an Oscar-winning picture, soon resulting in a spinoff that is a perfect adaptation of the book that started it all.

Cry your heart out. It has been proven by research that when a human being loses a great amount of water from their body, they tend to experience amnesia-like side-effects.

Change your entire future outlook of becoming a Nobel Prize winning doctor in order to enter the film industry and remake the movie yourself. Often in real life, you are the person who has to squeeze the lemons to get the lemonade. The best plans are the ones you carry out yourself, no matter the cost.

Hunt down anyone involved with the creative decisions of the adaptation. If trouble appears as a result of this action, do not blame or attempt to sue us. It’s happened before, and you Will Never Win. So, don’t even try.

Befriend a genius scientist and convince him to make you a time machine (preferably out of a vintage car), so that you can go back in time and alter history to your liking. Beware of making mistakes while in the past, as you will eventually create a massive butterfly effect that will eventually cause the end of the world and humankind. Personally, we recommend you keep this as the very last resort.
