I can see King also not liking Kubrick's Shining because its fundamentally a lot bleaker; in the book the main villain is the Overlook Hotel, in the movie its Jack.

Saw John Wick 3 tonight, and basically there is nothing subtle about that movie. I did enjoy that it kicks off about 20 mins after the last movie ended, so basically he's been killing people for like a week straight and is tired as hell, but still kicking 9 shades of rear end. Apparently John does a shitton of cardio. Only downside to the movie is that I might not get the 4k version cause... gently caress this movie is brutal.

Cat Hatter posted:I'd heard that the final chapter was omitted in American versions of the book and would have been included in the movie otherwise. In this case they're both at least partially true. Kubrick was given the UK edition to read, but chose to adapt the US edition instead. Burgess disagreed; although he thought the movie was brilliant, he also felt that leaving out the last chapter - where Alex comes to his senses and eschews violence - was potentially dangerous. Then there were a couple of copycat attacks, the moral outrage crowd hit the streets over the movie's promotion of violence and Kubrick let Burgess take the flak for it.

Man, what I would give to dimension-hop and watch each of the Nicholas Roeg, John Boorman, Tinto Brass, Ken Russell etc -directed Clockwork Oranges adaptations. One attempt was going to star Mick Jagger and the Rolling Stones.

Ending aside, obviously, but Frank Darabont was somehow able to perfectly bring that story from page to screen. Like, it's incredible and maybe it's just a coincidence, but wow, that movie was exactly what I pictured when reading the story. Frank Darabont should take on The Jaunt, and he's the only one who I would 100% trust with it. The Jaunt needs to be adapted.

Does anyone know what King thinks of the new Pet Sematary? Because they really blew it on the ending, which is one of King’s few good ones.

It’s an excellent story, but you’d have to think up a realistic way for the kid to duck the meds. There’s no way they’d just trust you to take them without monitoring the poo poo out of you.

There’s no way they’d just trust you to take them without monitoring the poo poo out of you. I think it'd make a better short film. Something like 30-ish minutes. It's so compact and good, it doesn't need elaborating. To date, it's the only King story that just fucks with my mind the more I think about it. I mean.... it's one thing to go through the gate awake, but it's a different thing entirely to go through one set to 'null'. And that dude didn't get charged for murder, since 'technically, his wife is still alive.... somewhere'. Jesus christ   Goddamn, it's so good. I think my love of The Jaunt is why I love Black Mirror's 'White Christmas' so much.

Yea I'm not sure how you adapt the Jaunt into a feature length movie without adding a whole lot to it. Because really the entire story is the father explaining the Jaunt process to his kid, then they wake up after they Jaunt and that's the ending. Doesn't mean it can't be done though, for instance From Beyond is technically based on a Lovecraft story but the movie covers the entire story before the opening credits and the rest is just elaboration by Gordon.

The only thing I didn't like about it was that it lacked the Crypt Keeper. Maybe both series could amalgamate, or King could just write for TftC. Either way, I need a horror anthology series

The best thing about this extended Thomas Harris/Hannibal Lecter discussion is everyone not even mentioning Hannibal Rising, a movie that somehow manages to be both completely terrible and forgettable

The Hannibal t.v. show tried to glean some stuff from Hannibal Rising but even they failed to make any of that poo poo worthwhile or interesting.

I liked how the Hannibal tv show looked. Bryan Fuller convinced me he had a visual style I liked, which is one of the reasons I was willing to give American Gods a chance. Shame he left that show too.

Dino DeLaurentis just openly admitted he coerced Harris into writing it or he'd have someone else do it.

I liked 'The End of the Whole Mess', I think that one had Ron Livingston. 'Crouch End' was hilaaariously bad though, trying to pass off a California suburb as London.

The only episode of the show I ever heard anything about was from a guy in my grade who was "a big fan" of Lovecraft but never actually read anything. He thought the episode was fantastic and really really good

Shame he left that show too. Fuller is weird to me. I love his style, but I didn't like how much he changed Star Trek for Discovery, rather than simply changing the setting of the time. I also didn't like how he jumped ship to work on American Gods, and then jumped ship from that to work on the Anne Rice series.

Rage could make a poignant movie but man no one's gonna touch it with a ten foot pole and King's never gonna license it. I'd like to see someone redo Running Man, too. You could easily apply its manhunt theme to social media harrassment. If I ever come into movie production cash I'm funding that, under the condition that it keeps the ending.

If I'm gonna produce a Dark Tower do-over I'm gonna need like MCU levels of cash cause I'd obviously need to build up to it with a whole shared universe, or it isn't The Dark Tower.
