I find Stephen King’s short stories (and the early portions of his novels) to be far more terrifying than the overly bloated later portions of his novels. The realistic early portions of the release, progression, and response to the superflu in “The Stand” are far more frightening than the later tedious, supernatural elements.

I think it's less an early-late thing, and rather he is a full hit or miss writer. The Stand, The Shining, Misery, Dreamcatcher and The Institute are all amazing and come from different eras, whereas Christine, Tommyknockers and Rage are all some of his weaker works and are relatively pretty early on.

I thought jamie sheridan was just amazing. I'd always seen him playing these Somewhat quiet very intelligent and calm people. I loved him on law order when occasionally He had just had it with some criminal, And he would turn to. His detectives and say "step into him." He is a terrific actor and he was around long Before criminal intent. Had a couple failed t v shows. Had a wonderful part in. I think it was best picture one year. It was about the reporters. That cracked the case against the catholic church in boston. I can't remember the name of the movie. But every single part was so perfectly cast. I think I paid to see it. It was my christmas present to myself and I downloaded it on my old laptop. Drink coffee or something and eat christmas cookies and watch the whole movie in one sitting. Okay I think I may have had one Bathroom break. And it won best picture that year I was so thrilled. I thought it was such an excellent movie and I thought. Well that's a kiss to death. I have a couple friends like that. We have a record for really loving movies that Get clawbered at the academy awards. But not this one. When they announce best picture. It's a really good thing. I didn't have a soda in my hand or a plate of food on my lap. Sorry I live alone in sometimes I ramble. It's just nice to be around. People who love movies and books and t v shows. I have a couple of people in my life who I do care very much about. But they drive me crazy because for them. Reading a book is such a waste of time. They also don't watch tv shows or movies. Not sure what they do and it's their business. Maybe it's because I live alone And t v is such a wonderful companion. But my whole family was like this about t v shows and books and movies.

The Stand is still my favourite Stephen King novel. I think the portrayal of Flagg in the 80s version I'm sorry but that's the Flagg that stands in my mind. Even with the cheezy CGI, he had this likability which for playing essentially the Devil, you would expect that. I think the Dark Tower's Walter definitely showed Flagg's evil more, but didnt really show him to be likable. You knew he was evil through and through. In the Stand, Flagg was more just... oh hey nice charismatic guy next door, wanna get out of jail? Sure just take my hand and seal this pact and you're free. And I really loved Flagg's relationship with Trashcan Man. It was like "hey, I feel sorry for the guy who's going batspit insane, I know you love me, thanks man" I actually felt like Flagg was human then.

Jimmy De'Souza that’s a pretty unfair assessment, but I do agree that the final battle was a bit anticlimactic. That’s never been Kings strongpoint. It’s the way he joined, directly and indirectly, 30-40 years worth of seemingly unconnected novels and the blend of genres. Or, as he told the Constant Readers bear the end, it isn’t about the destination, it’s about the journey.
@kylesexton60674 жыл бұрын
Jimmy De'Souza firstly, I’ve read the entire series multiple times, and while there IS a line in there to that effect, it’s not literally Santa Claus, nor does the Crimson King look exactly like him. However, there is some symbology there concerning Christmas as a time of family. Honestly didn’t catch that until like my 3rd time through it. It’s also evident in the ending for Roland’s “team”, if you will, where they wind up in Central Park on Christmas Day with Santa hats on.

Gary Sinise as Stu, Laura San Giacomo as Nadine, Ruby Dee as Mother Abagail, Matt Frewer as Trash, Rob Lowe as Nick, Miguel Ferrer as Lloyd, and of course Bill Fagerbakke as Tom Collin were perfect choices for their characters and matched my expectations from the book excellently. However, my two favorite characters from the book were not cast as I well (for my taste!). I always thought Diane Lane would have been a much better choice for Frannie than Molly Ringwald. She would have brought a seriousness to the part Molly just lacked. Also, and most importantly in my mind, Phillip Seymore Hoffman would have been *perfect* for the part of Harold Lauder. I believe Harold is the most interesting character in the story and Hoffman's amazing persona would have nailed it.

Yautja Prime It's entertaining and relatively faithful to the source material, but it's still a TV Series, so it's somewhat limited in dramaturgy, character development and the "cinemato"graphy is absolutely terrible (standard run of the mill 80s TV series camera work). The effects are limited and so are several (albeit not all) supporting actors. Additionally, it unfortunately looks pretty cheap. Having said that, if you decide to watch it and don't expect to see a cinematic masterpiece like no other, but turn down your expectations a notch or too, you'll be able to enjoy it. It's not a revelation, but not too bad either and the general story is still pretty gripping, so once you start, you want to continue, to see how it ends (even if you know) and will be able to ignore most of the shortcomings. And it's certainly better than Langoliers or Tommyknockers. So yeah, go ahead and watch it, but don't expect it to be the definitive King movie/series (there are far better ones). BTW, there is an upcoming 10-episode "The Stand" TV series going to be released in 2020 (by ABC iirc, but not sure).

Best Flagg? Sheridan, hands down. He was just so evil...and at the same time affable and likable. He came off as fairly truthful...but you knew he wasn't telling you everything. You could totally see his charisma and understood how he attained a following. However, as a US citizen in 2019...we should have known way back then.

Jaime Sheridan played an amazing Randall Flagg! I can't really imagine him being outdone. That smile of his was what you think the devil would have.

Jayme Sheridan gave Randall Flagg a sexy swagger that Christopher Walken could have never pulled off.
