"A pent house? What is that? Sounds uncomfortable!"

The Shining is the book that broke me. I love it for that.

I just finished the book. It was recommended by a friend and it was damned good. Great video as well.

We should have a counter for how many times corn is mentioned 😆 I bought the dvd box set years ago and watched them in one night, there are no words

👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

For the algo

There was a time when my friend and I considered putting out a line of very ugly dolls and calling them Cornfield Kids ❤

Thanks for sharing this. I subscribed to the Hard Case Crime books & have The Colorado Kid. Charles Ardai fan here.✍️

My husband brought home a paperback copy of Carrie from a coworker of his. We both fell in love with King after reading It. We saw the movie at a matinee. The theater was the audience all gasped or cried out at the surprising and shocking ending. We were in our early 20s at the time.

Ebert (and Siskel too) had some weird takes on these movies. Ebert loved and defended “Last Tango” and I cannot find anything that he ever reconsidered it after Maria Schneider spoke about in 2001 and 2007. In fact, Ebert had this weird obsession with Isabella Rossellini being “degraded “ and humiliated in “Blue Velvet” and compares David Lynch’s treatment of his actress unfavorably to “Last Tango.” After all, Bertolucci put Schneider in “an important film.” That is in the original 1985 review of “Blue Velvet” and he has an entire separate essay on why he hated “Blue Velvet” once again lauding Bertolucci’s treatment of Schneider. Rossellini disputed such claims. David Lynch has such a good reputation with difficult scenes involving nudity and that was one of the reasons Patricia Arquette wanted to work with him in “Lost Highway.” I guess “degradation” and nudity were fine as long as Ebert was cool with it. The actresses’ opinions on their own experiences be damned.

Nicholson would have been phenomenal in Misery. Of course I love the movie as-is with Caan. Just sayin’

I also liked her in ‘Tim’ - an early film for Mel Gibson, she was great in that.

Wow!

The Brave One is one of my favorites. JF is phenomenal.

Big Driver was my fave story in that collection, and I thought it could be a film. Then it was - with Maria Bello! Very good, chilling, hard to watch at times but super-good as to the story.

The beginning of Dead Zone is a bit like their start as a couple… before the car accident, o’ course. It’s just a great American story.

The 2013 version was more like the novel

Worst than the fact that he doesn't remember the 80 s.....

The date of the accident was June 19th. The same date that was stamped onto the crate of the Creepshow adaptation of his short story The Crate. No fooling!

Read it in Oct 2023 and again in Sep 2024. It is now one of my favorite books. I plan to reread every year 🖤

Reminds of the gag in Futurama, where they go into a library & there's a door with a sign reading "STEPHEN KING: A to AARDVARK"

#4 come on! Correct-year Roadmasters: easily found online. *WHY show e.g. a lowline '58 Buick, then a '60 Plymouth!?? Anything worth doing is worth doing well. *Do it well please!*

As a car guy (and also as a Stephen King fan) that was a nice idea for a list.

I love her so much! Protect this girl at all costs!

hey

Caterpillar crushing a car. That also happens in MAXIMUM OVERDRIVE.

Such a shame he turned out to be an absolute dickhead

Wasn't there a book by another author that's a prequel to the overlook hotel?

Another great video 👏🏾

Do you write your own books? If not You can write this So an oil company digging for oil For the government. As they find the oil. They released this toxic gas that makes everyone insane. They start arguing about Who should keep the oil? and one of the oil workers starts killing the other oil worker with a pickaxe. The government Arrives at the site And wonders what's going on And the workers start to see the government. The government tries to collect the oil. but As He goes to confront the workers. he inhales the gas He starts losing his mind. And they start fighting each other, killing each other for the oil Until it's the last man Standing This sounds like it would be a good Stephen King novel But I think you should of the honor of Writing it in Inspiration of steating king If you want help developing it, I could help with that And if you already do publish books, can I read them?

👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

This is why I could not listen to the audiobook.

The mist is such an amazing film

I can’t remember the exact quote from Stephen king but I remember he said something along the lines “whoever spoils the ending of this film should be hung drawn and quartered for all of time”

great reading, that was absolutely convincing

The ending was terrible. He never would have done it. He would do anything, including die, for his son. He chose not to look for his wife, for fear of abandoning his son. He never stopped trying, and took as many with him as he could. In the end he was whispering words of hope into his sleeping sons ear. It was a complete slap in the face to the character. It made the breach into a joke, and destroyed the tension of the story. It brought the story to a crashing halt.. The Mist lived in my mind ever since I first read it wondering what may have happened to them, along with the rest of the world. It made the insane religious fanatic right. It negated the plot of the military destroying the world, messing with things they shouldn't, then being useless.. a common thread in several of his books including The Stand. I watched it in the theater and could have happily punched Darabont in the mouth for ruining one of my favorite stories for no reason except shock value.

Don't think I didn't notice you pronouncing "Saco River" right :P This was a great piece about a stunning bit of film that still stands up well. I look forward to what's next

i think the ending made the movie more well known and talked about. It leaves a deeper impact on people and gets them talking. A normal ending might of not had the same impact on the viewer.

No. The film’s ending ruined the story. It disrespects the Lovecraftian tale and inserts a cheap gotcha that does not fit the story at all. Imagine taking a Lovecraft story and inserting “Ha, just kiddin’” as the ending instead. A pity, but the prose story still exists, so I’ll be content with that.

This is like a tv show, how is this not on streaming? Also I'm the 30th commenter

I'm pretty sure it's common to know that it was inspired by His drug addiction Due to the fact he literally mentioned that it was Cocaine Was his number one fan

My main question is, how come there's not very Many bands inspired by Stephen King. like sulpur aeon That ban is heavily inspired by HP Lovecraft. and it mentions all of HP Love crapped cathulu mythos How come we don't got bands Inspired by the Stephen King mythos Like Dolores Claiborne or The Black House or fairy tale

Tim Sample rocked The Sun Dog.

Somebody let this man narrate an entire audiobook

I'm so sick of David Foster Wallace. He was a boomer who somehow captured Gen X, but in his lifetime never came close to being as prolific. He is lifted up because he is dead. Stephen King, while I don't agree with him politically and he is a boomer stuck in adolescence, I even mocked him on Twitter. I respect his work as a writer in general; he can weave a yarn like no other.

Arnt you the same guy who did the video on the shinning, but on a different channel?

I have a response for that question, he should say it's all autobiographical.

Thank you for that bit of humor toward the end about a haircut. It helped.

This guy is an actor right? looks familiar
