I had no idea the Grand Canyon was in Arizona. I thought it was in Nevada or something.

Re: James Knows…Movies: Inglourious Basterds (2009)

From what I understand, that's Tarantino's MO. He uses similar styles or outright copies or steals things from other movies. I'd give this movie a second viewing if there's a director's cut. The whole thing felt rushed and it just didn't work.

Yes, I have seen Carrie. I thought it was one of the better King adaptations.

Personally, I loved the video back in the day. At the time I thought it was a well-done and unusual, and was probably part of what helped continue to make the song such a success. You could see just a couple of frames and knew instantly which video was playing.

I hope she's able to "beat" down the competition.

I thought they were dead. Or they should have been after that stupid sketch video.

Re: What the Hell Happens With These Stephen King Movies?

Make no mistake, Christine (the book) is leagues better than the movie, but the movie is still pretty enjoyable (and it's directed by John Carpenter when he was still pumping out great movies).

I would recommend watching it first, then reading the book as if you like the movie, you will enjoy the book that much more.

Regarding The Green Mile, rent that now. It's a pretty damn good adaptation of the book, and an incredibly solid cast. It's an excellent movie all around.

I hadn't looked at it like that, but you're right. The character growth is something that's essential to a King story and that's something that's easy to portray throughout the course of a book. In a movie though it's tough to get that perspective, although they seem to be able to do it in other non-King movies.

I haven't seen The Green Mile or Christine yet. I loved the book(s) for Green Mile. Haven't read Christine yet. I might try to plow though it before the end of the month to watch the movie first. Should I try to watch the movie before?

Plus, totally agree about Darabont. The guy is awesome.

That's deep, man.

Also, I read that first part as "I intended to take a dump today, but I thought about it instead."

They're both horrible horrible movies. Someone must stop that prick KK from making more movies. He's an abomination.
I can say these things because I am that prick.
Thanks for the write up, Stew! You still suck for not showing at HF though...

Not from North Carolina. New York. Also, banned again. Please stop posting.

Im so white im see through and i burn from the breeze of the wind on a hot day lol. If i remember correctly you come from North Carolina. Unless your grandfather was Irish born i doubt 100% you can say your Irish as 6 million of the ppl in that state have Scots and Presbyterian Scot ancestry.

Re: Is it a Kilt? Or is it a Skirt?

JamesFerguson — Fri, 25 Sep 2009 08:50:31 -0000

The name might be Scottish, but I'm not. My grandfather was Irish. I've got the pasty skin to prove it.

Thanks S. As I mentioned, I really had no actual knowledge of the topic. It's something that hasn't really been a point of discussion in America, I think.

Also, the idea of "pants purists" is kind of funny to me.

That does sound like the perfect dentist for you. I always feel bad when they ask me "When was the last time you flossed?" because my answer is always "When was the last time I was here?"

It's tough to say. It's a completely different movie from FoC2. It would be comparing Se7en to Halloween. You can't really because they aren't really the same thing. I liked both, though, but I think *you* would like Bounty more.

Is it better than Fear of Clowns? I haven't seen that either but I've only heard TGM's glowing review.

That just adds fuel to the fire of my dislike of this book club.

I agree on the second line. I was talking about that today (not specifically about you, but about my friends in general). Most of my friends live at least an hour's drive / train ride away. It's a pain that I have so many good friends that just don't live close enough to hang out on a regular basis.
