How can a record player play when the electric is gone?
Also what is King's fascination with corn fields?
“Also what is King’s fascination with corn fields?”
He has a crush on Bill Mumy
I read the book many years ago, and barely remember it. I don’t even recall who Harold is, other than the King that got shot in the eye with an arrow at Hastings in 1066.
With Whoopi Goldberg as Mother Abagail, pass!
In the book, it was a battery-powered portable record player.
I’m guessing that Randall Flagg is just going to be a thinly-disguised Trump stand-in.
Be ‘ware of the corn stew.
Read the book a couple of times. Hard to make a movie of it. Or series IMHO. Just got the original version with Gary Sinise in the lead role and Molly Ringwald. ‘95 I think. We’ll wait on the newer one to binge watch it. And, can’t “stand” the author.
Gary Sinise is Stu..
This new adaptation sucks. What is it with Hollywood these days. The writers are idiots. They start the show in the middle of the book? It’s not like they didn’t have ten hours to do this.
I’m curious about this most recent adaptation, but it also features Whoopie Goldberg. So.... no.
King is all teenager level suspense an no delivery of action.
In original mini series they found a
battery powered record player.Harold
and Frannie listened to Don’t Dream It’s Over by Crowded House.
Ironic moment in original novel: the scared almost feral young boy, Joe, speaks of
the devil and blurts out “barr-ackk man!”
King pun in book:”Nick and Tom were eating
Underwood deviled ham in the park”.
There’s another character named
Larry Underwood..and “devil(ed)”? Randall
Flagg, ha
In the book a young Abagail Freemantle sings the Star-spangled Banner to an entirely white audience who “applauded fit to raise the roof. That was the proudest day of her life.”
She did this “on account of what happened back in the middle of the States War...my family was able to come here [to Nebraska] and live with the fine neighbors we have.”
I wonder if this scene will be faithfully depicted...
M-O-O-N spells hollyweird woke crap.
For a liberal from Maine, it represents everything dark, dangerous, boring and non-diverse of the evil conservative Christian heartland.

You mean the battery powered record players? My sister had that one.
Not interested in this, however, ‘Carrie’, scared the HECK out of me at the end, and ‘The Shining’ was awesome and well worth watching more than once but that was ALL Nicholson’s doing. I didn’t care for ‘Misery’ though Kathy Bates is good in just about anything; ‘Fried Green Tomatoes’ and any TV cameo. ‘The Green Mile’ was exceptional.
Really loved his short stories in ‘Night Shift’ but I stopped reading him once I got out of High School. I’m more of a Ray Bradbury Girl, truth be told. ;)

Does it show when he became a brain-dead, globalist-loving, Soros-adoring, left-wing socialist?
