Useless Facts/Chit Chat Thread

That IS really cool! I think Jessica went a little crazy on the lip injection, though!

The Stand is my FAVORITE book !! Most Stephen King made for tv movies seems cheap and skip a lot of stuff so I wasn't expecting much from the movie version of the Stand. I was surprised though, it was much better than I thought it would be. I thought the casting was pretty good too.

All the SK movies mentioned are great. Another great one is Stand By Me about the boys who discover the dead body on the RR tracks.

"Untooned" Jessica Rabbit

Someone is taking classic cartoon characters (there is also a Homer Simpson and Mario from the video games) and "untooning" them, using more realistic lighting and the like...

I think I'm in love. (Sorry Samantha, only kidding - you know I wouldn't miss your show Friday night for anything).

I think you guys may need a job or something to occupy your time. I can't believe how many posts there are already. I would like to take some credit here - it was the movie review John and I did on the first useless facts thread that stimulated this frenzy of posting. Now, it has a life of its own.

Yep, that's the one based on the Novella, The Body. My friends & I were crazy about that movie when it first came out!! Saw it like 4-5 times in one day! LOVE that movie. Soundtrack is great too!! Gotta love Keifer Sutherland!! (Although at the time he wasn't the attraction to the movie.)

Wow - that's really cool! And....strangely enough....looks exactly like me!

(time to dig out the trusty ol Joey Tribianni again...) How YOU doin?

It could. First, get a chain saw, then ........

 

[RvUsa]

Your weight loss ticker moves slower than mine Rog, just mine goes the opposite direction!!

I havent lost an oz in 2 weeks. Sometimes, if I weigh in the early morning versus mid-afternoon...I even gain 2 pounds!!! That HAS to have something to do with the tides I think.

The Stand was both a great book and movie! Gary Sinese was great in it, and so was the Walking Dude, Randall Flagg (can't think of the actors name). Molly Ringwald kind of annoyed me though. I haven't read the book in about 15 years...I've really got to get another copy of it. As far as The Shining movies...I always thought Jack Nicholson was WAY better. Another one of my favorite SK books was The Eyes of the Dragon. It was kind of different for Stephen King. The book "IT" really freaked me out since I have an unnatural fear of clowns and spiders!

Wasn't "IT" a bird in the book? Haven't read it, but knew someone who had when the movie first aired on TV. She told me that IT was supposed to be a big bird. I think the spider in the movie was a much better choice. I don't like clowns, but hate spiders!!

Yea, Molly Ringwald is annoying me so far, I just can't feel her in that role. I love the guy playing Harold (I think that's the name, the nerdy kid) so far, but he's only made a small appearance in the first 2 hours I've watched.

Always liked Gary Sinise, so far he's really doing a great job (just my imagination had a different view of Stu, but that will change).

And Jack Nicholson is AMAZING in the original Shining. I know that SK liked the TV movie better, but I liked the movie version 100x better than the TV version, I couldn't get into it at all.

His character in the Shining is still one of my top 5 characters of all time, I loved him in that movie.

IT was a giant spider in the book too...a giant female pregnant spider...

Ohhhh, ok, glad I didn't read the book then!!

Oh Lordy Lord.....I stay away from the board for a couple of days and come back to find the old thread locked and this one moving faster than a jackrabbit drinking Mountain Dew. How am I supposed to keep up?

No political statement being made. I just saw this and it made me laugh.
