Instead scenes from the book are played out exactly as written on the page with no room for necessary changes to the pacing or plot. A successful film of his books would have to change much of the structure and forms of humor to make them work. This has posed problems to the studios adapting his books to film, or at least it would if they had seemed aware of it. In a visual media they would mortally sideline the plot and thus many of his funniest moments are lost. Things like including footnotes that explore an idiotic idea in detail work very well in written form.
The problem with adapting them into great movies is that much of his humor is aimed at genre and literary conventions.
