Yes, and the my favorite genres in movies might not be the same in books, and vice versa. For instance, I really love scifi movies, but have an average interest in them as books.

Well, I think some genres like horror and action are best enjoyed as movies. Romance, however? Leave that for the books.

I think I'm fine with both of them. It's hard for me to decide what's best with things like this sometimes, and I guess I just don't mind, as long as it's good.
