I know what your all thinking, movies just aren't as good as the books and in some cases the movies sabbatage the books completely. However every good book has had a movie atleast based on it. Why hasn't OSC ever made a movie? I was thinking about this earlier today and I just had to ask. It has just been eating away at my brain. So I thought I would hear some of everyones feelings on the matter.
