Agree hobbling scene is when i look away. My husband has read most of King's books. I can only imagine how worse it is than watching this movie. Loved the reactions to this as always. They are so fun to watch❤
Asia: "She's a little weird." All of us: "Oh, just wait...." 🤣🤣 When I saw the movie title for this video, I immediately knew which scene Asia was going to be crawling under the blanket for. 😬 RIP Buster. Still pisses me off. 😡
Kathy Bates rightly gets a lot of praise for her performance here, but I think that James Caan deserves a lot of credit, too. He very ably played a man struggling in multiple ways and his reactions to what's happening are incredible. Like at the end when a well-meaning fan says the one thing guaranteed to most dredge up that horrible experience and look at his face, he's desperately trying to be polite and gracious while, at the same time, struggling not to vomit. Also, I love that at the end, most reactors relax when they see the actual waitress and not Annie, then go "augh don't say that" when she tells Paul she's his #1 fan, but you just say "kill her".
Makes me think…I am an artist, a painter. I can imagine the horror if a crazy psycho kidnapped me and held me captive beyond my will in their house. If they made me burn my painting that I worked long and hard on for days, forced me to paint them a new one to their liking. Scary 😨
Couldn't agree more. She's criminally insane and probably schizophrenic, but there's a deep sadness in her too that you can't help but sympathize with.
From BJ rubbing his legs to me laughing at Asia saying I'll be dragging these legs 😂😂 and when they seen the sledge hammer part there faces 😅 I can't!!
This movie is amazing! Kathy Bates is everything! She played this role so well, she said it was difficult for her to get dates afterwards. Now that's acting!
It's James Caan (con). Asia was right the first time. My first reaction to the car accident was "Look what he did to that classic Mustang!" 😱😂 44:30 Asia "She's a little weird" The rest of us "Oh you have NO idea"
I read this book in 1985 while my dad was hospitalized for a heart transplant. I’d started it shortly before dad received the call about an available heart. It was a good conversation starter among the nurses who’d heard of it but hadn’t read it yet. I’ll never forget those moments. RIP, dad. Edit: Dad lived for another 10 years enjoying his family including new grandchildren that he got to know before passing in 1995. We still miss him. And big thanks for reacting to this great movie. I love me some Stephen King.
And now it's time for Dolores Claibourne! Another King story, along the lines of Shawshank and Stand by Me, starring, and written specifically for Kathy Bates. It features a stunning ensemble cast and a really compelling female-led story.
I've tried multiple times to watch it... but I get bored... which says nothing about the movie being good or bad, just that my mind wanders when I try to watch it. Any tidbits that may help hook me into watching it all the way through?
I read this book during lunch breaks at the office. When I was finished, I passed it to my co-workers. It went through the hands of about 20 people, by the time I go it back it was a shambles, but I didn't mind. It was one well-read book.
One thing I wish that they'd included from the book - at the end, he actually published "Misery's Return", as he'd only burned the *cover sheet* for the stack of papers - the rest of the stack was blank. He also considered it one of the best books he'd ever written, as he *literally* wrote like his life depended on it.
The book is wild too, she axes his foot off then cauterizes the stump with a blowtorch, then later, when he complains about a broken key, she uses a turkey carver to chop his thumb off and then serves him a slice of cake later with his thumb as the candle! EDIT: Also, the "this is all over a character in a book?!" comment is great, because you're right, that's the proper reaction, and Stephen King's reaction, but he would have fan encounters (mainly through the mail I believe) that were TRULY unhinged, and that inspired this idea. Even though they may not be as crazy (well...most), there's tons of Annie Wilkes out there.
I've no doubt King has had some crazy fan encounters but he's also said that Annie Wilkes is an allegory for drug addiction (his own). The thing that whispers in his ear that it loves him like no one else while hurting him over and over.
I've met some select psychopaths that were just as bad if not worse than Annie Wilkes... I wish I hadn't. One chic in specific was so obessed with an elden ring character, and whew. She even looked like Annie Wilkes!!
Another great video, y'all! Fun fact: Kathy Bates won the Oscar that year for her role in Misery, and she said that what should have been success turned into disaster. She said that the role crippled her acting career for many years because in subsequent films, audiences found it impossible to get that character out of their heads and couldn't look at her in any other way than creepy and weird.
😆😂🤣I laughed when you noticed The Love Connection on TV! If you were EVER up past midnight in the 90's it was literally the only thing on TV to watch if you didn't have cable!! I watched it for that reason alone, turned out to be a pretty good comedy and Chuck was charming as hell. Be back in 2 & 2!
"I'm your number 1 fan." a phrase that gets ingrained into your mind. great book and great movie. Kathy Bates won an Oscar for this and in her speech she apologized to James Caan for the foot. another great Kathy movie is 'Fried Green Tomatoes'
If I'm ever in a life or death situation, I'm praying Asia is with me! She knew about the penguin...and that the typewriter hadn't killed her 🙂I'd be following her lead on the best way to survive, for sure!
This has got to be one of my favorite reactions from y'all! Y'all catching the kiss that Kathy Bates character blows to Paul simultaneously and then BJ smacking it away was too funny. Kathy Bates: *knocks over drugged wine glass* "Will you ever forgive me? BJ: No, I ain't gonna forgive you! 😂 The look of abject HORROR on BJ's face at the Spam. 😂 "Kathy Bates: I better go now. Asia: You should...you should go. Kathy: I might put bullets in it. Asia: Okay, don't do that." The rhythm of the editing was perfection. 😂 I'm so glad I found y'all. Highly entertaining ❤
This was a great reaction, guys! Absolutely brilliant! You guys are such poets for real. I've seen all of your reactions multiple times, I just can't get enough. I love you both.... your minds I mean. Your creativity. That's all I meant by that. I'm y'all's #1 fan.
Great film. Loved your reaction, you two are hilarious. You both really have a sick sense of humour and I love it. BJ's face 24:10 SPAM!!! 34:40 "KERPLUNK!" 🤣
She was both a Psychopath and a Sociopath!!Either way, Kathy Bates earned her Best Actress Oscar for her performance!She's also Bobby Bouche's momma in The Water Boy!!
I think I might toss in some bi-polar disorder/borderline personality disorder to cover all of her issues. Stephen King's antagonists are usually a heaping handful of wacko. LOL
40+ and I've been watching movies my whole life and that hobbling is still one of the most uncomfortable scenes I've ever seen. It just sticks with you forever. Kathy Bates is so amazing in this.
You do know James Caan (who has just passed away in real life); he played Sonny, the hot-headed son of the Godfather, in Godfather 1. Bates won an Oscar for this performance.
@@RosaLichtenstein01 can you show me where their reaction is so that I can watch it? I couldn't find it on their Patreon. I was pretty sure in their last live stream a week or so ago they said they haven't seen it.
Kathy bates performance in this movie will frighten you! Now that’s a heck of a good actress. And that is the great actor James Caan who played Sonny in the movie the Godfather. Two great performers doing their thing😊
Watched this movie on TV with my mother, sister and a couple of friends, back in the day. It was so different from other scary movies (people lurking in the dark or aliens etc) that we had seen. The scene where she breaks his ankles was horrifying 😱 Number one fan, indeed (fan is short for fanatic!) Excellent performances by both Kathy Bates and James Caan. Fantastic story by Stephen King. Loved your reaction ❤
When this was in the theater I worked with Emergency Room doctors, some of whom were physically sickened by that hobbling scene. Even with all they'd seen, this was way too realistic!
Am so proud of you for covering this!!!!! Not everyone can sit through this movie because of the tense content... greetings from England, take care and big hugs to ya ❤🤗
WOAH! I was JUST thinking about this movie! SO EXCITED for your reaction - it's definitely up there as one of the creepiest for me. Love Kathy Bates and James Caan's roles in this, they play off of each other perfectly. If either part was cast differently, I don't think the story could work as well as it does. And of course, credit to Stephen King for expertly traumatizing us again :) Fun fact, Caan's literary agent is classic film star Lauren Bacall. She was married to Humphrey Bogart, the guy in Casablanca (you have the poster up on the wall). Their films together were electric, extra scenes were written just so they had more screen time together because their chemistry was so palpable.
Watching your reactions to this movie prove to me that you both are very well attuned to other people's pain. Both have good hearts. No wonder you two attracted one another from the beginning.
Excellent movie❤ As someone who recently suffered a traumatic leg injury, the infamous hobbling scene has taken on a whole new level of horror seeing it since my accident. Chilling😥
She had three loves in her life, Paul and his writing, misery the character in the book and misery the pig. All three killed her, Paul, the typewriter and the metal pig. Amazing film. That hobbling scene, never leaves you! Lol. Amazing acting and story.
Great reaction! I loved this book and the film. It's too easy to get close as a fan. My brother is a huge Stephen King fan and when we visited Maine he asked at the visitor center where Stephen lived. The employee said they didn't give that info out since Stephen had a bad stalker at that time and had asked that they not give out any of his information. My brother walked across the street and asked at the gas station. The attendant gave him Stephen's address and directions. He drove there and has photos of Stephen's house from across the street. I felt bad for Stephen King.
He wrote this book and said it was one of his greatest fears. Poor guy. I enjoy solitude and privacy, can't imagine having people I don't know seeking out where I live and photographing me, my family, or my home. Would feel like such a violation of personal space and privacy.
In book, hobbling scene is cutting his lower leg off with an axe. It took two swings as first didnt get the last bit. Then she cauterised the wound using a blowtorch.
Thank y'all for reacting to this one! Misery was my first Stephen King movie, and I bought it without knowing what it was about. So glad I did, because it's now one of my favorite movies 😄
Y’all’s reactions here is priceless! 😂 Seen Misery a long time ago. That hobbling scene still gets me to cringe up and turn away even to this day! And BJ yous a damn fool bruh! When you said the typewriter spelled out ding after she hit her head on it.. I fell out laughing! Still can’t stop 🤣 But yeah..Kathy Bates did her thing in this one..but wait til y’all see her in American Horror Story Coven. She was a monster in that one too ✌🏾& ❤ y’all
Another side of Kathy Bates in a Stephen King novel turned into a movie is "Dolores Claiborne" from 1995. IT'S SOOOO GOOD!! I hope you'll check it out!! Kathy Bates is such an amazing actor.
Every time I watch this movie, I'm in full tension mode. So many tense parts with him trying to get away. I loved this reaction. When BJ threw away the kiss that K. Bates blew at J. Caan, I thought I would scream...🤣🤣 Great reaction Y'all!
Hey guys... I had to pause at Asia saying, "what about, ive fallen and I can't get up dialer." 😅😂. One of my clients has that service. He wears it around his neck. Asia thinking outside the box! Loves it. J from NJ
BJ does have great facial expressions during reactions and some funny one liners. I like how Asia talks for the characters "can you stop putting those pills in my mouth?". She's hilarious.
I love this movie. Great book, too. In the book when he mentioned the missing n on the typewriter she cut his thumb off. Also, she didn't hobble him like she did in the movie, she cut off his foot and cauterized the stump. And at the end when the police found her she'd made it to the barn and got her chainsaw and was on her way back to finish him off when she dropped dead.
Great reaction. Kathy Bates is an amazing actor. Her favorite career performance is playing Dolores Claiborne in the film adaptation of Stephen King's novel of the same name. Check it out if you haven't already seen it. No one writes the despicable attributes of an antagonist like Stephen King. You will not be disappointed.
James Caan played Sonny in The Godfather. He was great in this and of course Kathy Bates won the Oscar for this movie. She was terrific. Scary as hell. Good reaction!🤩
Fantastic film. Kathy Bates wins the Oscar! ❤. I read this in 1989 when I was pregnant with my daughter. Little more frightening than the movie. 😳. Have you ever pushed a book away in a gasping unadulterated fear? ❤😂😂
This movie shows us how dangerous and obsessive fans can be when they learn that their favorite character or heroes get killed off by the writers of their movie or TV series
Sad part is, it can be true. The one that rings home for me is poor Christina Grimmie. She was a gem of a person and singer and that nut case thought she should be his alone. I don't much care about what is going on in celebrities lives, but in this instance it cut.
I'd rather people write crazy fanfic about the story or the celebrity than be this nuts. They like that even with small time local celeb. Just makes ya wonder about people. Then I remember that movie The Jerk and the guy picked him at random. It can probably be just like that. They got the time, and you see it online, good thing is they got goldfish memory so in a week they move on to something else.
Kathy won the Oscar that year for her role in this film, if you would like to see her acting range check her out in the grreat film Friend Green Tomatoes , where she plays a meek , mild mannered housewife. If you want more wild and crazy Kathy, check her out in the American Horror tv series.
Kathy Bates was in a lot of stuff. Fried Green Tomatoes, Dick tracy, Titanic, Misery, The Waterboy, American Horror Story, Angus (you guys need to watch Angus)
Freaking FANTASTIC reaction guys!!! You really don't know what's coming, but Annie's obvious craziness creates a ton of suspense. The violence is shocking too. Good job, will re-watch this classic for your reaction!
This was.... and still is an instant classic, 2 amazing performances 👏🏽 and Kathy Bates was exceptional! Edge of the seat stuff. The hobbling part... I was like BJ 😂😂 holding my legs, ankles and everything 😂😂😂 great reaction team.
Hey A&J! Enjoyed watching Misery with you! Kathy Bates won the Oscar for Best Actress in this movie. You will see James Caan again when you both react to The Godfather. A younger Caan became a major movie star after playing the role of elder son, Sonny Corleone, of Godfather Vito Corleone in The Godfather. Loved your reactions to Misery! Thank you!
Same director as A Few Good Men and When Harry Met Sally. Same director and novelist as Stand by Me. James Caan (from The Godfather, Alien Nation, and Elf) is pronounced Khan. Lauren Bacall, Paul's agent, was the wife of Humphrey Bogart (Casablanca, The African Queen, The Maltese Falcon). In the novel, Annie used a hatchet - and at the end, Paul found that she'd done him a favor, because the car accident would have kept him from ever walking again, but without his feet, he was able to be fitted with prosthetics that enabled him to walk. Also, in the novel, Paul burned a stack of blank paper with just a couple pages on top of it. He'd hidden Misery's Return under the bed, safe, because he'd come to realize it had been the best work he'd ever written - and it became a runaway bestseller. Pigs are smarter than dogs (even smarter than cats), but without opposable thumbs, not much Misery could've done to help. Did you recognize the cop talking to the media by Paul's crash site from A Few Good Men? Please, you *must* see Kathy Bates in Fried Green Tomatoes. After years playing an attorney on Harry's Law, she's starring in a new TV reboot as Matlock.
Dolores Claiborne is one of my favorite Stephen King novels and Cathy Bates was wonderful in that one too. It is about a mother and the daughter who is grown and does not understand her.
I liked her playing the mom in Water Boy. She is an awesome actress. This movie was one of the first movies I saw her in. He wrecked his car in the worst spot ever!
Fun one, good job, thanks guys. When she hit the typewriter with her head, BJ: "I think she typed out 'ding' with her head!" Whole thing was worth watching just to hear that one, the rest was gravy.
The one thing no one will ever forget from this film is the hobbling scene. 😫
Way worse in the book, but I agree with you
Agree hobbling scene is when i look away. My husband has read most of King's books. I can only imagine how worse it is than watching this movie. Loved the reactions to this as always. They are so fun to watch❤
@@smokeyverton7981 Absolutely, lol. So much worse.
I haven’t forgotten it, and it’s also the one scene I’ve never watched! 😮
In the Book she cut his feet off and closed the wound by burning it.
Asia: "She's a little weird."
All of us: "Oh, just wait...." 🤣🤣
When I saw the movie title for this video, I immediately knew which scene Asia was going to be crawling under the blanket for. 😬
RIP Buster. Still pisses me off. 😡
She DEFINITELY deserved the Oscar she won for this!
Kathy Bates rightly gets a lot of praise for her performance here, but I think that James Caan deserves a lot of credit, too. He very ably played a man struggling in multiple ways and his reactions to what's happening are incredible. Like at the end when a well-meaning fan says the one thing guaranteed to most dredge up that horrible experience and look at his face, he's desperately trying to be polite and gracious while, at the same time, struggling not to vomit.
Also, I love that at the end, most reactors relax when they see the actual waitress and not Annie, then go "augh don't say that" when she tells Paul she's his #1 fan, but you just say "kill her".
I love his line delivery when he's stuffing the burning pages in her face
James WHO ?
James Caan was a seasoned actor at this point. He started making films in the 60s.
KHAAAAAAAAAAAAN!
Agree. James Caan was great in this film. Loved his performance.
The scary thing is that there are real people like her out there
I had no pleasure meeting a few that were just as bad if not worse than her. I never ran away so fast in my life.
most of them are swifties
Ya know what's even Scarier?! We used to think that this only happens to famous people, but now we know that this could happen to ANYONE!!!!
well, I'm a nurse, & yes there are.
I read awful stories about nurses around the world. 😥
Makes me think…I am an artist, a painter. I can imagine the horror if a crazy psycho kidnapped me and held me captive beyond my will in their house. If they made me burn my painting that I worked long and hard on for days, forced me to paint them a new one to their liking. Scary 😨
"She looks a little weird" is the best ever description of Annie Wilkes
😅
understatement of the year😂
Almost the entire movie takes place in a single room and manages to make you feel so much.
And there were only two deaths.
Cathy Bates is Perfect Casting in this film.
She really deserved her Oscar
She was brilliant in this role.
Couldn't agree more. She's criminally insane and probably schizophrenic, but there's a deep sadness in her too that you can't help but sympathize with.
Especially when they showed the competition. She blew them out the water.
I'm a new widow, and I thank you kids for bringing joy and fond memories to my day. You're fun when fun is so needed!
🙏 ❤️
Today and always, may fond memories bring you peace, support, and strength.🙏🌹
God Bless You
I Hope you enjoy your day ❤ you deserve it ❤
Praying for you
Love this movie. All timer. No ghosts, no creatures, nothing unnatural. Just a crazy lady doing crazy things. Terrifying.
also known as psychological thriller lmao. genres have names for a reason! doesn’t mean the other genres aren’t as good.
@ibuprofriends I agree...it's a psycho-thriller.
@@ibuprofriends I was just making a point how a simple person being crazy can be terrifying. Thanks for the film class pro breakdown though!
One of the few films where you want a man to beat the living hell out of a woman.
From BJ rubbing his legs to me laughing at Asia saying I'll be dragging these legs 😂😂 and when they seen the sledge hammer part there faces 😅 I can't!!
Omg, the way BJ threw away the kiss was hella funny 🤣
"Ohhhh, Jesus take the wheeeel"...had me dyin 😂
The laugh I had when BJ heard the spam with the ground beef. 🤣🤣🤣 I damn near passed out
This movie is amazing! Kathy Bates is everything! She played this role so well, she said it was difficult for her to get dates afterwards. Now that's acting!
At least she got roles.
😅
It's James Caan (con). Asia was right the first time.
My first reaction to the car accident was "Look what he did to that classic Mustang!" 😱😂

I loved that movie, and I think Kathy Bates’ performance as Delores is even better than in Misery. She plays it with such incredible emotion.
I've tried multiple times to watch it... but I get bored... which says nothing about the movie being good or bad, just that my mind wanders when I try to watch it. Any tidbits that may help hook me into watching it all the way through?

Great, underrated movie.
There is a math to horror and it’s “tension over time” and this story truly pules everything string slowly, it is a master class.

Asia: "Oh Jesus take the wheel." 😅 ❤
This movie is intense, but the book brutal.
I loved her in “Fried Green Tomatoes” as well! She’s a top notch Actor!
There seems to be nothing she can't act the hell out of! ❤
Watching your reactions to this movie prove to me that you both are very well attuned to other people's pain. Both have good hearts. No wonder you two attracted one another from the beginning.
Excellent movie❤ As someone who recently suffered a traumatic leg injury, the infamous hobbling scene has taken on a whole new level of horror seeing it since my accident. Chilling😥
I love you guys! 😂 Fried Green Tomatoes is another great movie with Kathy Bates. Way less scary! Lol
She had three loves in her life, Paul and his writing, misery the character in the book and misery the pig. All three killed her, Paul, the typewriter and the metal pig. Amazing film. That hobbling scene, never leaves you! Lol. Amazing acting and story.
Great reaction! I loved this book and the film. It's too easy to get close as a fan. My brother is a huge Stephen King fan and when we visited Maine he asked at the visitor center where Stephen lived. The employee said they didn't give that info out since Stephen had a bad stalker at that time and had asked that they not give out any of his information. My brother walked across the street and asked at the gas station. The attendant gave him Stephen's address and directions. He drove there and has photos of Stephen's house from across the street. I felt bad for Stephen King.
He wrote this book and said it was one of his greatest fears. Poor guy. I enjoy solitude and privacy, can't imagine having people I don't know seeking out where I live and photographing me, my family, or my home. Would feel like such a violation of personal space and privacy.
“Talk about the bird flew over the cuckoo’s nest “ 😂😂😂😂 love you guy’s. ❤
In book, hobbling scene is cutting his lower leg off with an axe. It took two swings as first didnt get the last bit. Then she cauterised the wound using a blowtorch.
Funniest reaction to that blown kiss I've seen!!! 🤣
11:35: "She's trying to keep him as a patient" - Munchausen's syndrome, described so perfectly.
By proxy
Thank y'all for reacting to this one! Misery was my first Stephen King movie, and I bought it without knowing what it was about. So glad I did, because it's now one of my favorite movies 😄
Y’all’s reactions here is priceless! 😂 Seen Misery a long time ago. That hobbling scene still gets me to cringe up and turn away even to this day! And BJ yous a damn fool bruh! When you said the typewriter spelled out ding after she hit her head on it.. I fell out laughing! Still can’t stop 🤣 But yeah..Kathy Bates did her thing in this one..but wait til y’all see her in American Horror Story Coven. She was a monster in that one too ✌🏾& ❤ y’all
Brilliant performances by both Kathy Bates and James Caan
Another great reaction you guys...I think Kathy Bates actually won an Academy Award for her performance in this film.
This movie totally creeped me out when I saw it as a teenager. I'm 38 now. It was such a great suspense thriller of it's time! Thx Asia, Thankyou BJ!
Another side of Kathy Bates in a Stephen King novel turned into a movie is "Dolores Claiborne" from 1995. IT'S SOOOO GOOD!! I hope you'll check it out!! Kathy Bates is such an amazing actor.
One of the scariest Steven King stories I ever read. And the monster was human.
Every time I watch this movie, I'm in full tension mode. So many tense parts with him trying to get away. I loved this reaction. When BJ threw away the kiss that K. Bates blew at J. Caan, I thought I would scream...🤣🤣 Great reaction Y'all!
Asia asked for a cell phone and a Life Alert 😂😂😂😂😂
Hey guys... I had to pause at Asia saying, "what about, ive fallen and I can't get up dialer." 😅😂.
One of my clients has that service. He wears it around his neck. Asia thinking outside the box! Loves it.
J from NJ
"They say it's do with the climate. what do you think?" BJ: "I think its HARP!" Yooo our bloke is a real one 😂✊
As always I just love your reactions and how you guys bounce sentences back and forth.
Also Kathy Bates was the mom on the water boy.
BJs facial expressions won this reaction. 😂 Still love ya Asia but BJ is the star in this one…he needed your blanket
BJ does have great facial expressions during reactions and some funny one liners. I like how Asia talks for the characters "can you stop putting those pills in my mouth?". She's hilarious.
I love this movie. Great book, too. In the book when he mentioned the missing n on the typewriter she cut his thumb off. Also, she didn't hobble him like she did in the movie, she cut off his foot and cauterized the stump. And at the end when the police found her she'd made it to the barn and got her chainsaw and was on her way back to finish him off when she dropped dead.
Great reaction. Kathy Bates is an amazing actor. Her favorite career performance is playing Dolores Claiborne in the film adaptation of Stephen King's novel of the same name. Check it out if you haven't already seen it. No one writes the despicable attributes of an antagonist like Stephen King. You will not be disappointed.
BJ & Asia - I’ve been meaning to tell y’all, I’m your number one fan.
😂
James Caan played Sonny in The Godfather. He was great in this and of course Kathy Bates won the Oscar for this movie. She was terrific. Scary as hell. Good reaction!🤩
Great reaction ! I loved both the novel and the movie. It's a very good adaptation.
Fantastic film. Kathy Bates wins the Oscar! ❤. I read this in 1989 when I was pregnant with my daughter. Little more frightening than the movie. 😳. Have you ever pushed a book away in a gasping unadulterated fear? ❤😂😂
This movie shows us how dangerous and obsessive fans can be when they learn that their favorite character or heroes get killed off by the writers of their movie or TV series
Sad part is, it can be true. The one that rings home for me is poor Christina Grimmie. She was a gem of a person and singer and that nut case thought she should be his alone. I don't much care about what is going on in celebrities lives, but in this instance it cut.
I'd rather people write crazy fanfic about the story or the celebrity than be this nuts.
They like that even with small time local celeb. Just makes ya wonder about people.
Then I remember that movie The Jerk and the guy picked him at random. It can probably be just like that.
They got the time, and you see it online, good thing is they got goldfish memory so in a week they move on to something else.
Fan IS short for fanatic...
Kathy won the Oscar that year for her role in this film, if you would like to see her acting range check her out in the grreat film Friend Green Tomatoes , where she plays a meek , mild mannered housewife. If you want more wild and crazy Kathy, check her out in the American Horror tv series.
Your reactions were very entertaining...LOL 🤣
Good job Asia with pronouncing Caan correctly! Sounds like Khan👍
Kathy Bates was awesome in this ! Y’all need to check out more of her acting in the masterpiece “Fried Green Tomatoes”.
You can't help wonder if King wrote the original story after having some scary encounter with a "#1 fan".
I hope not 😂
Kathy Bates was in a lot of stuff. Fried Green Tomatoes, Dick tracy, Titanic, Misery, The Waterboy, American Horror Story, Angus (you guys need to watch Angus)
I had entirely forgotten she was in Dick Tracy!
Freaking FANTASTIC reaction guys!!! You really don't know what's coming, but Annie's obvious craziness creates a ton of suspense. The violence is shocking too. Good job, will re-watch this classic for your reaction!
Misery is full of surprises.
Great reaction.
I never thought I would get this much enjoyment out of watching other people watch a movie. I love you guys!
In the novel she chop's his feet off and cauterized it with a blowtorch.
wth!😮
@@chichi775I love this movie and Stephen King. Not many movies based on his books can convey how great of a writer he is.
This was.... and still is an instant classic, 2 amazing performances 👏🏽 and Kathy Bates was exceptional! Edge of the seat stuff. The hobbling part... I was like BJ 😂😂 holding my legs, ankles and everything 😂😂😂 great reaction team.
Hey A&J! Enjoyed watching Misery with you! Kathy Bates won the Oscar for Best Actress in this movie. You will see James Caan again when you both react to The Godfather. A younger Caan became a major movie star after playing the role of elder son, Sonny Corleone, of Godfather Vito Corleone in The Godfather. Loved your reactions to Misery! Thank you!
And Rollerball, Elf, Brian's Song, etc, etc
Same director as A Few Good Men and When Harry Met Sally. Same director and novelist as Stand by Me.
James Caan (from The Godfather, Alien Nation, and Elf) is pronounced Khan.
Lauren Bacall, Paul's agent, was the wife of Humphrey Bogart (Casablanca, The African Queen, The Maltese Falcon).
In the novel, Annie used a hatchet - and at the end, Paul found that she'd done him a favor, because the car accident would have kept him from ever walking again, but without his feet, he was able to be fitted with prosthetics that enabled him to walk.
Also, in the novel, Paul burned a stack of blank paper with just a couple pages on top of it. He'd hidden Misery's Return under the bed, safe, because he'd come to realize it had been the best work he'd ever written - and it became a runaway bestseller.
Pigs are smarter than dogs (even smarter than cats), but without opposable thumbs, not much Misery could've done to help.
Did you recognize the cop talking to the media by Paul's crash site from A Few Good Men?
Please, you *must* see Kathy Bates in Fried Green Tomatoes. After years playing an attorney on Harry's Law, she's starring in a new TV reboot as Matlock.
Dolores Claiborne is one of my favorite Stephen King novels and Cathy Bates was wonderful in that one too. It is about a mother and the daughter who is grown and does not understand her.
29:18 'What is that?', 'Wait, what is she doing?' ,LOL. I think we all said the same thing Asia.
13:14 for the second time, BJ shows sympathetic pain. My anticipation grows exponentially.
Kathy Bates won the Oscar for her incredible performance. Another great reaction! - Love this channel sooo much!!
Masterclass in acting, these two 🔥
That role, gave Kathy Bates her Oscar! She was wonderful! She played the role perfectly!
I liked her playing the mom in Water Boy. She is an awesome actress. This movie was one of the first movies I saw her in. He wrecked his car in the worst spot ever!
Fun one, good job, thanks guys.
When she hit the typewriter with her head, BJ: "I think she typed out 'ding' with her head!" Whole thing was worth watching just to hear that one, the rest was gravy.
