yeah, I've heard it both ways, too, and both ways are equally irritating. However, while I can concede that a lack of purism when it comes to adaptations can make the filmgoing experience more enjoyable, if the movie itself is good, I fail to see how any enjoyment can come from reading the same story over and over, with only the same variations.

I wonder if anyone really uses the word "purist" in a positive sense, regardless of which side they're taking.
