Today Tim Newton & Steve Rosse are back at the The Sea Light Cafe & Restaurant, next door to the Tha Sai temple south of Thai Mueang town. Much of today’s discussion is about good books turned into movies – the ones that worked and the ones that didn’t. And the ones where the Director has taken liberties and changed details from the original books.
Tim Newton Today is daily news commentary about Thai and the region, including issues of interest to expats and travellers to Thailand.

Give Steve a free run on movie's and books, you get a sixty something thing year old six year old child in a sweet(candy) shop(store) 🤭👍👍👍. Brackets for you Steve 👍
Guys a little disappointed you never mentioned the green mile, thought please.
A current adaptation on Netflix = "Three Body Problem", A brilliant Chinese Sci Fi book(s) taken and given the western treatment. Woke elements introduced throughout (unrelated to plot), Chinese locations changed to London and Chinese characters replaced to meet diversity quotas. (The Chinese were quite rightly pissed off)!
3:36 And I bet Tim has never dunked a donut in coffee.
I read The name of the rose from start to end not seen the movie.
May i suggest to check out : Terry Pratchett's Discworld, there were some tv movies about certain books, but i am really hoping that Peter Jackson picks it up to make his version
Message from the brains trust. There are many tambon with the same name as the amphoe, it's very common. I live in Kwaeng Suan Luang (Kwaeng = sub-district in Bangkok, same as Tambon) which is in Khet Suan Luang (Khet = District in Bangkok, same as Amphoe). Phang Nga also has Takua Pa, Kapong and Thap Put tambon that are all in amphoes of the same name. Krabi has five. @steverosse
Idea for future is to do your Desert Island Discs (Turtle Beach Discs). Your top 6 songs with your reasons why.
Never seen Tim so worried about pussy before!
I luv Stephen King movies.. 😊😊😊😊
😂😂 the humor is so contagious and hilarious. Another great program that brightens up our day. I laughed and enjoyed the program a lot. I can relate with of the bone-breaking massage 😂
Thank you Tim & Steve
The princess bride is one of the best.
I think it's ni chan in Japanese.
You blokes are the Dynamic Duo. Who is Batman and who is Robin. Don't know, but keep em coming.
Ha, the way that the Hobbit was butchered in places made me very angry 😠 how could he miss out Tom Bombadill and the barrow wight episode!? Sometimes parts have to be changed or omitted I understand, but it really got to me.
I did finish "the name of the rose", but will start to read Eco's novels again now because I do not remember the storylines of this one and the others (dont know the titles in English). I very much liked the testament according to John of the bible and the depiction of it in Life of Brian…. does that count?
When i'm in thailand I get a two hour massage at least twice a week
I can get 5 two hr massages for the same price as a one hour massage in the u s a
My ideas for next the next Episode:
1.) Tim is teaching Aussi slang words to Steve (cracks him up every time)
2.) Steve is teaching basic Thai for Tim ( Mueaaang)
3.) How to know it's real love in Thailand?
Components of Thai Face
Advice for young people coming to Thailand
Red Flags for Bar Girls about Farang
Good old days in Phuket – What is better now?
For books to movies I suggest Saint Jack by Paul Theroux. How they filmed the movie in Singapore while it was still banned there is another story.
