The Mist

[leemajors]

i really hope they never make the talisman into a movie. it's my favorite king book, and i loved the sequel too. i'm glad he left that story line open ended. i'd imagine if jack hadn't had to stay in the territories he may have made an actual dark tower appearance. ugh, i just saw TNT made it into a mini series with spielberg having a hand in it. hopefully it's more along the lines of the nightmares and dreamscapes thing they did - some of those were actually good.

The ending was very Stephen King-esque.

Wrong.

That's not King's ending, to begin with. And, in his stories, it is almost ALWAYS the child that survives. He has a fasination with giving children more strength than they are given credit for.

The major exception to that would be The Dark Tower series. But, even then, the child (Jake) serves as a major key to the story.

Have you read the sequel, Black House?

It's ing great. Straub and King are working on a third book.

I would actually like to see it, and the sequels, in movie form. Well, as long as the right director is involved. Frank Darabont seems to understand the King universe well. I think he could do something sweet with this material.

I'm up for anything related to the Dark Tower to be made into movies.

TNT's Nightmares and Dreamscapes was . . . well, it was hit and miss for me. I hate . . . ing hate what they did with "Umney's Last Case" and "Crouch End". The butchering of "Crouch End" still hurts. But, "Battleground" and "The End of The Whole Mess" were damn near perfect. The rest of them were all right, but they could have done much better.

black house is awesome. I think they should let genndy tartakovsky do the dark tower stuff, he has pitched it repeatedly.

I was okay with the ending. Could have gone either way, but I think it fit with the natural progression of the story (loss of safety -> loss of sanity -> loss of hope)

some of straub's books are pretty good too. you should check out shadowland if you haven't.

Last I read, King sold the "first look" rights to J.J. Abrams for $1. Apparently, Abrams presented something to King that he really liked. But, King said that bringing it to the silver screen is still a ways off.

Tartokovsky would be an interesting choice, but I want to see what he does with The Dark Crystal's sequel before I pass judgement on his skills as a feature length director.

I haven't read it, but I'll have to check it out.

Holy htere's a dark crystal sequel coming out? bad ass.

[CuckingFunt]

I finally got around to seeing this one last night. I got more sucked in than I expected.

The CG was just atrocious, though. Bad enough in some parts that I couldn't help laughing.
