King’s eyes are about half a centimeter apart. The sign of mental illness.

I’m sure he’s a perfectly fine person but he is NOT Matthew McConaughey .

Perfectly cast, except for the surfer dude who played Flagg.

What were they thinking?

I can’t see how they could improve on the Gary Sinise version. It tracked the book as well as any film production can translate a large book. The casting was amazing.

I just can’t imagine any other actors in those roles now.

You’d have to bind and drug me to get me in a room with him.

Some of the stuff he’s written is just “red flags” as Hell.

Alexander Skarsgård???

His brother Gustaf plays Floki on “Vikings” —the best show currently on television.

Another Hollywood remake. They’ve run out of original ideas unless it’s a movie about transvestite nuns running a daycare as cover for an international human trafficking syndicate specializing in pre-school age children.

I thought the original was kind of cheesy. Especially with some CGI I think a remake could be well done. AND THIS TIME don’t leave out “The Kid.” You dig that happy crappy?

Vikings ended last year. It’s a great series. Travis Fimmel, who played Ragnor, Has a lead role in Ridley Scott’s “Raised by Wolves”, he still uses that little turn of the head. It’s a good series too.

I bet Randall Flagg, Nadine Cross, Trashcan Man, and Harold Lauder are white.

The musician character Larry Underwood is now black. He was white in the book.

FWIW, I recently revisited this book just a couple of months ago. I found it a little dated and in need of editing. Still one of King’s best.

He was a waste of celluloid.

Honestly, innately psychotic Martin Sheen was born to play the demon who caused every bad thing that ever happened in history.

But “Biff”?

Not so much.

Vikings ended last year. It’s a great series.

I thought we were still waiting on part 2 of Season 6 and then it ends?

I passed up this show for years, assuming it was a cheap “Game of Thrones” knockoff until a month ago, looking for something to watch on Amazon, the wife and I gave it a shot. I couldn’t have been more wrong. We were hooked from the first episode and I daresay I might just have been better than GoT. The battle scenes were absolutely epic.

There’s more?

OMG I hope so.

Where’s Floki?

Did Rollo just wander off screen into the woods?

/hot for Ubbe

Yes it was my favorite for many years. Outstanding scripts and acting. I was sorry to see it end. Also Loki, is now Merlin, in the series Cursed.
