There's a Dumas Pl nearby and all the locals pronounce it the same way as the guy in the movie.

Number 2 Guy at OCP

remember in the beginning where the one guy breaks down during the first night and is all “there was a mistake i just need to talk to my lawyer!” and then the guard beats him to death

that’s pretty messed up imo

That guy wasn't beaten to death, just severely beaten. Though that guard does kill a guy later on.

this except for the scene where andy plays the record for the yard. Melodramatic garbage.
Maybe revisiting the Something Awful remaster of the scene will give you pause for though

See, when Andy asks what his name was, I wondered if that was ever going to come back up, especially when he comes up with the silent silent partner, Randall Stevens, later on to royally gently caress Norton up.

drat, I'm just realizing that I haven't seen Shawshank in far too many years. I gotta fix that real soon. It's one of those flicks that actually lives up to the hype.

The music scene is unnecessary Hollywood bullshit, but they also found a much more elegant solution to how Andy got rich in jail. A land of contrasts.

I saw Shawshank before reading the story, but I read both The Green Mile and The Mist well before seeing either one, and goddamn did Frank Darabont perfectly encapsulate pretty much exactly what I pictured in my head when reading them.

Shame that he didn't include the bus crash scene in The Green Mile, though. That would've worked. Also, there were a couple other prisoners he didn't put into the film, but that's minor.

How did Andy put the poster back on the wall after he crawled through the hole?

I mean, I can see how he'd do it, but it would be misaligned a bit and not nearly taut enough for the chess piece to go through so cleanly.

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?
