If one wants to write a long series, it would be best to do it in trilogies, making each trilogy one cohesive story, and finishing the trilogy in such a way that a reeader can either keep reading the next trilogies, or stop reading without having to wonder how it would all end.

I think the only author that does this is Terry Brooks. Which is great. Each trilogy is fresh. So many series just blah out by the 6th book.

the movies to be truely terrible

As far as the movie/book thing, there is no reason for that to even come up. Movies are only loosely based on a book's plotline. They have completely new writers and a completely new plot. Comparing the two is pointless. They are apples and oranges. Oh, and the Jason Bourne movie was not terrible. It was GREAT!!
