you know, every time a movie "based on a true story" comes out, we always find out that the real story was pretty different. and every time a movie comes out based on a book that we've read, we don't shut up around the water cooler telling anyone who cares how the movie's totally different from the book ("... and i tell you, man, the book is *definitely* better").

why, even some movies claiming to be based on a true story were totally made up (like fargo). and we learn this over and over every year of our movie-going lifetime.

DISPITE ALL THIS ... people continue to be shocked to discover that a new movie they just saw is less than 98% of the real story, or that it's actually not the same ending in the book ("really, joe? the book ends differently? wow! and you think that the book is better? whowudda figured that!").

you know what p.t. barnum said ... there's a sucker RE-born every fifteen minutes. ;-)
