people had to make that movie unlike books which come from printing presses... and the minds of weirdos

Movie rental stores aren't subsidized by the government

Because books are art and culture, and libraries are mostly owned by the State

Cinema is an industry that only cares about making money, and movies are nothing more than a pasttime

because who the fuck would buy a fucking book?

writers make money from selling the rights to the movie adaptation and they only make movies from popular books so it is in the writers interest that as many people as possible read his book which is why he gives it away for free to libraries

>selling the rights to the movie adaptation
You can't call them real writers

Novels are the lesser genre of literature, and those who write novels for movies are even less artistic and respectable

It would be like judging the film industry using superhero movies as the example

nah all writers are just people who couldn't make it in the movie business
