I'm gonna force myself to watch a crappy Stephen King movie because of this. I'll raise a glass to anyone that can get under the skin of this dumb chump.

[–] KoboldCoterie@pawb.social 23 points 1 day ago (5 children)

Why not watch one of the good ones, instead? I'd recommend:

  • Carrie
  • Shawshank Redemption
  • Delores Clayborne
  • The Green Mile
  • Stand By Me

I'd like to add Dreamcatcher. Nothing spectacular, but what a great cast! I'd say it's like an airport novel; quick and easy to consume, and rather entertaining.

I Duddets!

Gonna tack on The Mist to your list.

At the very least it stars Thomas Jane and Andre Bruagher, which is a win in its own right imo.

[–] KoboldCoterie@pawb.social 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I actually don't think I've seen The Mist, but now I think I'm going to give it a watch based on your recommendation.

[–] Lenny@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Definitely worth a watch! I had not read the book before watching it, which I think was good going into it.

I enjoyed it as a movie outright, but it wasn’t until I did a report on it for a class that I learned to appreciate a lot of the undertones and imagery that I didn’t catch on the first pass. If you come back after you watch it I’ll tell you my favorite subtle thing I missed the first time (which I’m sure is more obvious in the book)!

[–] KoboldCoterie@pawb.social 2 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

Well, that was unexpectedly great. I'd love to hear your favorite subtle thing.

Also curious what the book ending was, if you want to share, @Breadhax0r@lemmy.world.

I think Stephen King is very good at writing stories, but often very bad at ending them; quite a few of his books have great setups but end in an unsatisfying or anticlimactic way. Very much liked the movie ending, though - was not at all what I expected, and very emotionally impactful.

Also the movie ending is so much better. Iirc Steven king even said he preferred it to what he wrote.

Dr. Sleep, the sequel to "The Shining" was a very apt adaption, too.

And don't trust Kings own approval of the Dark Tower movie although Idris Elba and Matthew McConaughey were actually good casts. It's was bad nonetheless. We could have had an 10 seasons series on par with Game of Thrones if it wasn't for that movie.

Or if you're in for a trashy good time, The Running Man starring Arnold Schwarzenegger!

[–] KoboldCoterie@pawb.social 5 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

I first watched The Running Man shortly after finishing the book (which I quite enjoyed), expecting to see a movie adaptation of it, when in fact the most basic details of the premise are the only similarity between the two; as a result, I was pretty disappointed, but from what I remember of it, 'trashy good time' is a pretty apt description.

[–] GraniteM@lemmy.world 3 points 21 hours ago

And Paula Abdul did the choreography for the dancing girls!

[–] jerkface@lemmy.ca 0 points 11 hours ago* (last edited 11 hours ago) (1 children)

Steven King doesn't make movies...!? I guess reading one of his dreadful books that never saw a professional editor is too much for a performative gag.

Does Elonia offer everyone her eggs?

[–] Maggoty@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

No you're not

[–] demizerone@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

Elonia is Trump's blood girl.
