I see the movie first. The book is always better (well, most of the time), so this way I won't be dissappointed when seeing the movie.

Always. If I see the movie first, then I picture the characters in the book as Ben Affleck, Demi Moore, Julia Roberts, or whoever else they miscast in the role.

Depends. If it was a book first, then I read it so I can get a feel for the direction the filmmakers decided to take the material. If it was a film first, I see it, then read the adaptation (if I really liked the film).
