the Walking Dude, Randall Flagg (can't think of the actors name). Molly Ringwald kind of annoyed me though.

The actor is Jamie Sheridan. Molly Ringwald is annoying, period.

I was watching "deadliest catch" when we got home from the hospital.... that is about the only reality tv I watch.... none of the rest of it is real

This is one of our favorite shows but I forgot it was on tonight. I'll have to catch it later.

Molly Ringwald annoying? Must I remind you of the greatest movie ever made?

Sixteen Candles!

Hey Jugman, I have seen you around for a while, LOL. You aren't the guy on dirty jobs are you. He made jugs with faces too. Just wondering, I had never seen them before, and now I see yours too. How common are they?

No, but I don't live to far from him. You can go on e-bay and see more, under a search for folk pottery. I am a sixth generation potter myself, but now it's more of a hobby.

Christine was pretty close to the book, but the book was scarier! That was the first SK I read, I fell in love then, and it is still probably one of my favorites. Wasn't langoliers from "four past midnight"? That was a great book as well.

Ha! Christine scared the pooh outta me!! I've read all of King's books. In about the past 8-10 years, his novels have been a variation of the same themes, however. When SK became big enough to demand to do his own screenwriting, the movies became far better.

The original The Shining, was actually far different from the book - probably due to the fact that the special effects weren't advanced enough at the time to do the movie justice. The remake was much closer to the original book, but the original movie simply had too much of an impact to make anyone take a second look at the remake.

Langoliers was an excellent movie, too. "Mr. Toomey's got a knife!"

No way. The best movie ever was Water World with Kevin Kostner!

A Classic! How about "Fast Times At Ridgemont High" Aloha Mr Hand

I assume your referring to D&D II.

That had to have been one of the funniest movies ever

Christine is next on my list of SK books to re-read! I just finished Salem's Lot and it was just as creepy as when I was 16! One book that I don't think I can re-read is Pet Sematary...now that I'm a mom I think it would be too horrible.

Speaking of books...I just finished one called "Confessions of an Ugly Stepsister"...it was a totally different take on the Cinderella story. It was very good! I'm not sure I can look at those ugly stepsisters the same ever again!

I just rented "the Mist", gonna watch it tonight. Hope it scares the crap outta me, Im constipated!!

Okay.... for anyone who cares about MY useless fact.... I got the job at Geico today. I start on May 12th. On the upside, they're starting my at a higher rate than I thought they would. On the downside, it was hard to tell my boss at Home Depot that my last day would be May 3rd. I really like the job a lot, even though it's physically demanding.

What is going to be REALLY hard, will be the day I have to give up my job as our church secretary. I'll keep doing it in addition to Geico until I can find a replacement that I'm happy with.

I apologize for the interruption of our book & movie review session. Now back to our regularly scheduled programing.

Napolean Dynomite (although, I must say, the first time I watched it I thought it was one of the most stupid movies ever)

Water World??? OMG!

Congratulations on the new job!
