    Frank Darabout, the director that did basically all of the good King adaptations of recent memory, optioned that book and has plans to do it eventually.

    I don't know if enough time has past to do an ending wherebut another Running Man could be pretty good. And don't forget Lawnmower Man for silly book to movie adaptations. The short story is about a satyr running a lawn care business and King had to threaten legal action to get his name off...

    The book was pretty good. Going from the book to the movie was one of the more terrible transitions in King media. Goddamn was it awful. edit - Hearts in Atlantis will always piss me off because the book is basically four connected Novellas and "Hearts in Atlantis" is the name of the second...

    If you haven't ever seen Storm of the Century it is very good. It was written as a screenplay originally rather than a book and is maybe my favorite of the made-for-TV projects.

    I know that's the one scene that everyone always remembers but if you ever take a second pass through that book make a little note on some scratch paper every time the story gets oddly sexual. The whole thing is just fucking full of weird shit and then a bunch of shit that's just kinda creepy...

    You read the novels! NERD. The SCG Open top 8 isn't too bad. There's a decent amount of variety with a couple very different control decks along with Bant and even a G/R ramp goggles deck. Humans almost made it in and a B/G delirium deck almost made it in. Still doesn't look like all that...

    Fraud. What can happen is the person will claim they didn't get it, you'll have no way of proving they did, and you'll be forced to issue a refund and then be out the cards. You wouldn't necessarily think that would be the case with a modern European country but that's how it is. Every eBay...

    Star Trek Beyond (2016)

    It gets helped a lot by Generations being so fucking horrific. There's also a meta plot in the film of Q finally proving to Picard that he's not the enlightened person he believes himself to be. If you go back and watch the episode where Q introduces the Enterprise to the Borg (and really...

    Wait, did yo think I was joking? I was not telling a joke. If I had any writing skills at all I'd start penning a Crippled Masters reboot with all differently-abled transgender characters and it wouldnotbe a comedy anymore than the original was a comedy. If you haven't seen it the original...

    Man, if I was script writer I'd immediately pen a remake of Crippled Masters with all disabled transgenders and start shopping it around. This forum seriously is just full of awesome ideas. It's too bad I have no talent to combine with them.

    That kind of thing is common in modern comedies. You just start filming and let everyone riff for a while. It's usually terrible.

    Nintendo releasing a mini version of the classic NES this holiday.

    There were some games where I would get stuck and just be unable to get any farther formonthsbut because I only had so many games I'd keep going at it. I remember getting stuck in Kid Icarus in the first dungeon or getting stuck on some tricky platforming in Contra or finally figuring out a...

    Nintendo releasing a mini version of the classic NES this holiday.

    Kid Icarus was the first Nintendo game I owned. The only NES I could get didn't come with a game and I had saved just enough for the base system plus one game and that was the one I picked. I only ever got the best ending once and couldn't ever repeat it. It wasn't until just a few years ago...

    For not liking it very much as a kid I have come to like it just fine upon reevaluation years and years later. I feel the same about Nightmare on Elm Street 2 Freddy's Revenge. Didn't like it much at the time and then remembered it always as "the bad one." Now I think it is pretty good.

    I was very disappointed during the start of the film when the Ghostbusters weren't Ghostbusters. I had been watching the cartoon for years and I didn't like at all that they weren't heroes and weren't even in business. I didn't have the language to explain it when I was nine but I knew it just...

    That was what I thought as well. Is this really supposed to be a positive review? It doesn't read like a positive review at all.
