Like you said, I think it is going to be fairly watchable and maybe pretty good if you haven't read the book, but if you have a strong connection to it or King himself, it looks to be one that is somewhat forgettable.<br /><br />@William: Pure curiosity is what is making me watch it tonight but there is a minor feeling of dread in me, as well. I want to see what they'll do with it but I don't really have high hopes overall.Michele (TheGirlWhoLovesHorror)https://www.blogger.com/profile/03309044766117909683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7459781420607928525.post-47612752730739618122011-12-11T09:06:20.691-06:002011-12-11T09:06:20.691-06:00I didn't realize this was playing tonight. Ki...I didn't realize this was playing tonight. Kind of glad I decided to visit my parents place today since I don't have a TV at home. I'm not sure how I feel about this project. I loved Bag of Bones, and always dread seeing my favorite novels adapted to the screen. At the same time I'm always interested to see how it will play out (the same thing happens with remakes of my favorite horror movies).William Malmborghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04261043345510784469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7459781420607928525.post-4172013123870016882011-12-11T06:05:40.997-06:002011-12-11T06:05:40.997-06:00Personally, I'm not feeling optimistic about i...Personally, I'm not feeling optimistic about it. Based on Mick Garris's track record, as well as some of the changes I've read about, I expect it to be watchable, but thoroughly disposable.<br /><br />I just finished re-reading the novel last night. I hadn't read it since it came out, so I felt like I needed to refresh my memory before the movie came out. I'd been unhappy about Pierce Brosnan playing Mike beforehand (I'm a fan, but felt he was just wrong for the role), but after reading the novel again, I can see how he might fit the role pretty well. Mike acts on sheer instinct numerous times in the novel, which makes him (in a way) a man of action; it's hard to find actors who are more persuasive playing men of action than actors who have played James Bond!<br /><br />On the whole, though, I'm kinda dreading it. Mick Garris has never made a movie that I like, and I just can't imagine that this one -- which was filmed under rushed circumstances -- is going to be the one to break the trend.Bryant Burnettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01189356171455609865noreply@blogger.com
