They are remaking Christine!!!! (1 Viewer)

[Madmarsha]

why did you hate it at first and what changed your mind?

I don't know exactly. I think I just got older and appreciated things like set design and the fear aspect just from the isolation and didn't put a lot of things together like how Jack Nicholson is in a photograph from the '20s on New Years Eve. I always used to watch DVD extras and listening to people who made the film which I never used to think about stuff like that so I started noticing more when things weren't just blatantly expositioned to me.

King himself hated it. In the intro of Dr Sleep he goes on about that for like 8 pages. But I can see how it would grow on you.

Yeah, which is why I watched the TV remake with great anticipation. Now, Stephen Weber was kinda scary as Brian Hackett in Wings but not in a Jack Torrance kind of way. So whatever point King was trying to make by that version was lost on me.

If I remember correctly my mom saw The Dirty Dozen at least a 100 times at the theaters so I get that part of myself from her. My most watched movie at the theaters list is Young Guns 2/Guardians of the Galaxy at 8 times each.

100 times in a theater?

100 times in a theater?

Yes.

 

[Madmarsha]

Yes.

Do she have the ticket stubs to prove it?

I didn’t watch that one, on purpose. Had nothing to do with my fandom of King and everything to do with Nicholson. No mater what King thought of the first, you can’t play that role after Nicholson has

She died in 1997 and this what her brothers/uncles have told me. Sorry for being so blunt but it was the easiest route.

Yes you can, the It movies proved that.

That's it exactly. Jack took it and made one of the most iconic performances in movies ever. It's just dumb to think you can improve on that whatever you thought altogether about the book versus the movie even though it's King's baby.

I preferred the mini series

Sorry, hun.

Bill Skarsgard was great as Pennywise, him and Tim Curry are both great.

Didn't see or read It but I understand there's a lot of people for whom this is their ultimate King experience.
