OT: Let's talk about movies (and TV shows)... Part XII

Shawshank is remarkable. King's best film, just edging out Green Mile.

Oh I agree I mean not in French though. I was responding to the poster saying they were better in French.

I finished Better Call Saul yesterday, as W7 said it might end up being better than Breaking Bad in the long run, which is insane to me...

I also watched Evil Dead 2 and boy how did I miss that in my life, that was innnncreeedible

BCS is fantastic so far. Watch Ash vs Evil Dead if you liked Evil Dead 2. It's hilarious.

 

[DangerDave]

Deadpool was so bad. (in french)

very immature joke

Comedies don't tend to work out so well when translated.

Ah, okay. I misunderstood.

Better Call Saul is not even clause to being BB level. First season was awfully boring. And it got saved only when they had a Breaking Bad moment when the bald guy that was in BB murder a few dudes. So they had to go back to BB to make it good.

Carrie and Shining are better.

Carrie and Shining are better.

Yup. Misery is up there too.

Shawshank is awful.

Mitchmagic you hate a lot of stuff. It's hard to tell what's going on.

Perhaps you only like movies that are ranked by the BFI?

His opinions are often so controversial that I suspect he's doing it on purpose. Also, he never elaborates on them making a lot of his posts difficult to take seriously.

 

[FerrisRox]

Carrie and Shining are better.

For what it's worth, King ranks 'Shawshank' as the best film based on one of his novels.

His least favourite - one he actually has said he hates - is 'The Shining.'

Growing up in a small rural town, Letterkenny really speaks to me.

It's worth a lot. King is a prolific literary genius and his stories translate very well to the big screen. If someone prefers Carrie and the Shining, that sounds like a genre preference rather than a quality film choice. Shawshank and Green Mile are both superior in every way to those films.

Amazing stuff.

I got to level 6 but I'm not even sure it's beatable.

 

[Brainiac]

Shawshank... the movie was way better than the book (well novella). One of the best adaptation I've seen, along with The Silence of the Lambs. Others are probably up there, but these two come out on top when I go from memory.

The Shining... well, it was a great movie, but not really based on the book. Kubrick just took the setting and wrote his own story.

Amazing, lol. Can't believe I ended up playing that to the end.

I got to lvl 7. Failed the overdose thingy everytime though. But it's alright as I wrote a killer speech :-P

That says a lot.

I read the story before the movie and when I watched the movie I was actually disappointed. I liked the movie but it felt like a Disney version of the story from the book. The King story was far darker and I must say I prefered it that way. Cause the lead character gets beat up and raped on a dailiy basis, he lives a constant Hell. So when he escapes it's much more rewarding than it is in the movie. (also I'm not the biggest fan of Tim Robbins as an actor)

What did you expect from a marvel comics movie? They all have the same awful fan pandering "comedy".

Its true, but ill still watch.

I couldnt stand Ryan Reynold in Dead Pool

His jokes were all so 2003, or Van Wilder, just not funny anymore
