Stephen King has a lot of spooky supernatural stories, but his most intense and terrifying are the ones that have a grim basis in reality. Misery and Cujo are about a rabid fan and a rabid dog, either of which can strike at any time. As a kid, I would reassure myself that monsters didn't exist. I didn't have to worry about Freddy Krueger haunting my dreams because I didn't like on Elm Street. Dracula only stalked London and Transylvania. Annie Wilkes and Cujo were just a seemingly normal nurse and a formerly happy dog. The thought that a rabid bat could turn a household pet into a killing machine made my blood chill every time I saw a dog for at least a week.

I feel like this is a movie that has only grown in relevance in the three decades since it was released. The core theme of the story, after all, is toxic fandom-- which wasn't even really a phrase that people used yet in 1990. It's always sort of existed in one form or another-- those fans of particular artists, writers, musicians, filmmakers, or intellectual properties who are so rabid and zealous in their interest that it pushes them into sociopathic behavior patterns. Patterns that include possessiveness, and insisting that you know a franchise better than the artists who created it, and demanding that those creators should only take their work in directions that make *you* happy. This movie is *all* about the tension between creatives who are driven to experiment and broaden their own horizons, and those consumers who get a sense of entitlement about what the artists "owe" them and expect the same things over and over again.

Fun stuff... William Goldman, screenwriter of the movie adaption, mentions in his book "Which Lie Did I Tell? - More Adventures in the Screen Trade" that everyone who read it loved the script, but no one wanted to direct it. Rob Reiner was originally only supposed to produce the movie, but after no one was willing to direct it, he decided to direct it himself. When casting the male lead, they approached William Hurt, Kevin Kline, Michael Douglass, Harrison Ford, Al Pacino, Robert Deniro, Robert Redford and Dustin Hoffman to star in the movie and all turned them down. They asked Richard Dreyfuss, who wanted to make it... until he read the script and realized what it was about. Then he declined. Goldman surmised that every leading actor in Hollywood at the time had turned it down because they were insecure about a male actor being under the control of a woman for the entire film. He said male actors absolutely hate that. They later went to Warren Beatty, who was interested in the part, but was preoccupied with directing, producing and starring in 'Dick Tracy' at the time. So, eventually, someone at the studio suggested James Caan, who had been through drug problems in years past. When they asked him, he wanted the part so much that he offered to pee into a bottle each day so they test it for drugs. Apparently, though, they didn't take him up on that offer.

Hello, Brandon. I've been enjoying revisiting some of my favorite classics with you this month. Really like your reactions and commentary. Since it's the spooky season of the year I recommend you to add to your watchlist the "Apocalypse Trilogy," made up of by three horror classics: - "The Thing," - "Prince of Darkness" and - "In the Mouth of Madness." Anyhow, I'm really excited of whats coming. Keep on the good content, my man.

@KevMcKean4 жыл бұрын
Kathy Bates is obviously phenomenal in this, but without a near equally excellent James Caan, I don't think the film would be as effective. His desperation is just as palpable as Annie's insanity. This is one of those rare films that is thrilling and suspenseful even on rewatching. And darkly funny too: that middle finger always gets me.

Please watch The Departed and Casino, both Martin Scorsese movies. Also, if you like reading, the book is ten times better. More gruesome and more crazy. Also, King wrote this book after getting crazy hate mail about writing fantasy instead of horror.

The book is a lot more horrifying and gruesome. Instead of just breaking his ankles, she cuts off one of his feet with an ax. Also, Stephen King's original idea for the ending had Annie eventually killing Paul and feeding him to her pig.

@@cullenbohannon1408 Spoiling 20 year old movies is fine imo, but books are a different story. It takes 2 hours to watch most movies. It takes me a little over an hour to read 100 pages. If a book is 500 pages it'll probably take me 6 1/2 hours to read in total. And that's if I'm reading pretty fast. If I'm invested in a book and taking it slow it'll probably take me at least 10 hours to read a 500 page book. And idk about you, but I don't have 6 1/2 free hours in a day let alone 10 hours to just sit down and read. So I think it's somewhat reasonable to at least give a spoiler warning for books.

Good one. Brandon, have you ever seen any of *George A. Romero's* zombie films? As a huge zombie horror fan, I would thoroughly enjoy seeing your reactions and commentary to his work. As well as the 1990 remake to his very first zombie film, Night of the Living Dead, which I think is one of the greatest remakes ever made. 👍
