[QUOTE]Originally posted by PsyLiam: [QB] No, they are not. Bond got promoted to Captain in the books, but remains a commander in the films. The books do make some attempt to follow the film chronology. For instance, they retired the original M and replaced him with a lady who may or may not look like Judy Dench. They also make varying attempts to keep up with Bond's new rotating gun habits (although that seems to depend on whether the author approves of the gun or not). Several of the original Bond films were very different from the books. "The Spy Who Loved Me" bares almost no resemblence to the original book of the same name, for instance. I'd actually also argue quite strongly that Hollywood has become a cookie-cutter industry. Sure, there are the mindless blockbusters, which snobby teenagers who spend all their free time on Star Trek bulletin boards look down upon, but then there's also more complex stuff. In the past 5 years, we've had classics like Momento, Fight Club, LA Confidential, and others that I can't think of right now. All did exceedingly well, and all were quite clever. Even stuff like The Sixth Sense is hardly mainstream Hollywood. [/QB][/QUOTE]
