watching "pet sematary"

It's hilarious and creepy all the same. Like, when Louis euthanizes the zombie cat to actually kill, I think he really drugs the cat. And at the end, when he drugs Gage, the kid falls down and actually hits his head on the door. You don't see that kind of realism anymore.

Children can take a little abuse for the sake of art!

No fair daddy... No fair...

The book was better.

Well, duh. Almost all of Stephen King's books are better than the movies.

"Creepshow" was awesome though.

i've only seen part of the movie, and i haven't read the book.

i'd like to read the dark tower series. i remember roark finishing it and remarking how cool it was.

They are AWESOME.

Don't worry, everyone will still think you suck.

when is that ever not the case? with any author? good luck cramming a book's worth of detail into a 2 hour movie.

I sort of liked Christine.
The book is still better, but the movie was pretty decent.

...is there any reason why he mispelled the word cemetary?

it's because the cemetery was supposed to have been made and used predominately by kids, and they just misspelled it on the sign near the entrance

it's not about them, it's about ME!

I think the worst Stephen King movie I've ever seen was "Rose Red." Or maybe "The Langoliers."

i haven't seen either of those.

actually, i think the only stephen king movies i've seen are the shining and christine.

Tommyknockers was probably the worst movie I have ever seen. "Fear not, I will save the human race from the rubber queen alien on the ship!" Comical.

Movies are always better than books because they don't involve having to read.

I kinda liked the Langoliers..

Weren't those both ABC made-for-TV movies? Probably explains a lot.

How about The Stand? That was pretty good. Also another made for TV one.

Has anyone read "The Regulators" under his Bachman pseudonym? It was released at the same time as "Desperation" and it has the same characters, just in a different universe. It's kind of crazy because you get this set idea about the characters and they're completely shaken up in the other novel.

The Langoliers gave me nightmares when I saw it when I was a kid...I think I was like eight when it came on TV. Especially when they came out of the woods, all I can remember were three-jawed spikeballs with chainsaw teeth. uuugh.
But most of the rest of the movie was like "okay, get to the point."

guh. yeah. these little fuckers.

Langolier was awsome, except for the effects Bronson Pinchot was hilarious in it!

The Stand was easily the best King novel adapted to the screen. Would have been much better if it could have done for the BIG screen though. But then we would have a LOTR type trilogy.

And King oughta save that for the Dark Tower.

I can't wait.

First time I saw that movie I was like eight and at a friend's house. We were watching it in the basement and his dad thought it'd be funny to sneak down and make mean cat sounds from behind the corner.

Ruhahaha!

Read it and loved it.
