nzoner 936 Posted January 27, 2016 I know we've had a little talk about this on one of the book threads but Hulu has made an original series from Stephen King's novel which will begin airing on President's Day.I've got a little over 200 pages to go on the novel and King(at least to this point) has hit a home run. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NXUx__qQGew Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

vuduchile 1,940 Posted January 27, 2016 The first 3/4 of the book were pretty good, but it lost steam toward the end. I am interested to see Hollywood's take on the story. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
naomi 343 Posted January 27, 2016 I just hate James Franco so much. I thought he was cute when I was 14/15, but he just somehow got obnoxious in all ways over time. This looks like it may be engrossing Maybe redeem Franco, and it has Chris Cooper. Anything with Chris Cooper is usually pretty solid. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cloaca du jour 2,064 Posted January 27, 2016 Stephen king was awesome back when his stories came out of Bangor Maine. When he switched to Castle Rock, it started a decline... Delores Clairborne..a few others were dogs. Under the dome had the silliest ending. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

IGotWorms 3,297 Posted January 27, 2016 Been meaning to read it but it's obvioudly too long. You're not focking Tolstoy writing War and Peace or anything Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mike Honcho 4,009 Posted January 27, 2016 Been meaning to read it but it's obvioudly too long. You're not focking Tolstoy writing War and Peace or anything Well researched, interesting concept. I'm not an expert on writing so can't comment, it does go on and on though---so many side stories. It's not The Stand or The Gunslinger, but okay. Unlike The Stand or Gunslinger, I have no interest in seeing this on screen other than perhaps seeing the transformation too 1960's. Now go answer my making a murder question Sixth amendment question. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nzoner 936 Posted January 27, 2016 I'm very excited to see this. I just hope they don't Fock up a good vibe that the book gave me. This is always my thought especially when they focked up Salem's Lot not once but twice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

iam90sbaby 2,120 Posted January 28, 2016 Freaks and Geeks. I was going to say that. I like Franco a lot in comedy flicks, when he has a more serious role I don't enjoy his acting as much. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nzoner 936 Posted January 28, 2016 Finally finished the book last night and found it funny that in the afterword King said his son had a better ending than he had originally planned so he went with it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nzoner 936 Posted January 28, 2016 Looking forward to this show as well... May be a dumb question but if you sign up for HULU is there a way to record there(since apparently it's 8 episodes) or do you just wait till all episodes have aired and then order?Asking because I'm not watching this one hour at a time over 2 months.

wiffleball 4,631 Posted February 15, 2016 As soon as I saw the title, I knew how it would end. Just today, I saw Obama Talking About Driving around in a convertible. I really respect The interviewer biting his tongue About the concept of doing so. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wiffleball 4,631 Posted February 15, 2016 Also, for anybody who has ever visited dallas, There is a huge X Where JFK Was assassinated. I mean seriously, If you are a Secret Service agent And you're driving the president around And you see a huge x Don't you at least Swerve and or drive around that? That is like a future Murder victim Lying down In the chalk out line. Do you think Abraham Lincoln Would have watched The play From a mezzanine covered in crime scene tape?
