I just finished watching this 6 hour movie, it was just as good as I remember when it first came out. Makes me wonder why they can’t produce more of these epic made for TV series. :-[
The Stand, intro (Don't fear the reaper) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WUAvTn3uz5w#)
-
Why make a really good 6 hour series when you can make a mediocre 60 hour series and sell ten times the commercial space and blurays?
-
Is that the one where it ends with god clicking his fingers to detonate an atom bomb?.
-
I don't remember this one at all! SOunds interesting, might have to check it out (",)
-
M...O...O...N that spells ready
-
I really like this adaptation. Unfortunately, Hollywood is working on a big screen version (two part). I don't see the need for another adaptation this soon.
Plus, come on, who is more perfect for Stu Redman than Gary Sinise?

The hand of God comes down, grabs the bomb, and detonates it.

I know right.

Ya there were some questionable parts at the last episode. They had the demon get mad at his lackey, turn into a demon (which was just a really bad costume) throw a tantrum and then turn back into a human. It completely sucked out all the suspense that he was the devil and was just lame. To me the serious would have been stronger if he was not in it at all. They should have had him in some dream sequences, kept him as the crow observing, and had his disciplines to carry out his wishes.
Other then that the first 3 episodes I was more interested in what’s coming next then I was watching Lost.

the demon
Randall ---smurfin---' Flagg, not just some demon.
(also known as The Man in Black, Walter, and many other forms)

The book is great, I need to see this film.

I dunno, but I heard that folks don't want to pay to make things that only sheep will watch without pirating ...
>:D
Total ---smurfing--- hypocrisy for you to blast people for not pirating everything they can and then to ---smurfette--- about the lack of quality IP.

They made there money from 2 hour commercials.

I dunno, I heard there were some sheep who bought it on VHS afterwards ... Including Mrs Cheffo.
The point is that YOU don'T get to choose how much money "they" should make (EDIT) AND then get to ---smurfette--- about people not making quality IP.

Hey, what the video game in the posted clip? You can see it at 2:12 or so.

No idea what you are talking about. I posted this thread saying I like this movie. ::)
Were those two sentences that I posted at the top too much for you to read and comprehend all in one sitting or…

Ah yes, I do remember it then. I remember watching it every week without fail, it was awesome. Then the last episode happened with the finger click A-bomb scene and I thought, what the F..K. Weeks of viewing ruined by one of the worst endings ever.

Sorry for the confusion ... I was responding to your question ...

and I think that your prior postings on needing to pirate everything (and how those of us who don't are sheep) could have something to do with why things like that aren't done so much anymore.
saint gave you his reason for not writing another book after the excessive pirating of his books ... an activity that you condone.

Jeff....just stay on-topic. Despite what happened in other threads, don't drag that ---steaming pile of meadow muffin--- in here.

Fair enough ...
FWIW, I agree with the OP about the quality of The Stand.

A multi-part movie remake is in the works of The Stand

Oops :P
Ron Howard is still shopping the Dark Tower around as well. It'd be cool if they cast the Man in Black with the same actor in both adaptations
-
Hopefully Ron Howard fails to get it made. Talk about someone NOT suited to make it. I mean, the guy cast Javier Bardem as Roland! WTF?!?

The Dark Tower doesn't seem like it will be happening any time soon, if at all.

I think Javier Bardem would make a great Roland.

Looks like it is this one.

Noticed an “E” in the marque. Went to my 1300 Cab pictures and looked through the E’s.
I could not find the full name. “Escape” __ something.
