It depends: for example, I prefer the film 'Get Carter'(1970) to the original book... Generally speaking, there are situations or twists in a written story that can't be shown visually in a film. I accept that and never expect the film not to stray from the original story.

If it's true, it makes me wonder what some animal activists are fed with...
A 'guardian' means someone who's legally in charge of caring for a child or, even an adult who is vulnerable or otherwise incompetent to take care of himself. Animals aren't children or vulnerable adult human beings. I don't know what to suggest to replace 'owner' but surely, there are more important and pressing issues regarding animal rights, than replacing a word that is fit for purpose as far as I'm concerned.

I was into comics and records quite heavily when I was younger and still have a nice collection...
I had to more or less give up on collecting when I got married and had children: I suddenly had less money and less time to indulge in buying records and comics. As I got older, I gradually lost interest and, even worse! I started to think that I had splashed money in building a collection of fundamentally useless objects!!
But I have kept my original collection :) and I am glad I did for , against all my expectations, it makes the joy of my kids. So it wasn't all in vain :)
