Kino ending... for a Kingslop. Is Stephen King the biggest hack ever? Not just as a writer, but as a person who gets his shit made into movies.
>inb4 buckbreak redemption
it's not even horror

I watched this film when I was 7 and I still have nightmares about it.
How old are you now? Eight? Lmao gottem.
hell yeah dude
Greatest living American author. He'll be remembered like Poe or Hemmingway.
Agreed, I don't think people realize how prolific he was for decades. even if most of his modern work sucks.
>but as a person who gets his shit made into movies.
Sincerely what do you mean by this? Are you trying to say he's the biggest hack because he doesn't deserve to have so much of his shit adapted into movies, he is the biggest hack because his adaptations are shit, or he's the biggest hack because they change his writing so much in all the adaptations?
>he doesn't deserve to have so much of his shit adapted into movies, he is the biggest hack because his adaptations are shit
both of these +
>because they change his writing so much in all the adaptations
he's been heavily involved in a lot of his slop movies and they're all absolute shit + I really think that as someone famous for being a horror writer his best work ever, buckbreak redemption, isn't even horror
>and they're all absolute shit
>Stand by Me
>Green Mile
>Shawshank Redemption
>The Shining
>Carrie
>Misery
whatever you say moron
>meh
>okayish, good even (exceptions prove the rule)
>mentioned
>overrated, mostly shit (it's true)
>shit
>meh
like i said, whatever you say moron
The ending isn't his, it was written by the director.
color me absolutely not surprised
>I really think that as someone famous for being a horror writer his best work ever, buckbreak redemption, isn't even horror
speaks a lot*
At least he said he liked their new ending
The music choice was a bit tasteless though.
Stephen King is just R.L. Stine marketed to adults
R.L. Stine books are shit even as a kid. King has legitimately done great work, even if you consider it few and far between.
I like this ending because I really hate the trope of the military immediately jobbing in the face of supernatural stuff and this implies they're already working to counter it.
desunetbh when shit goes down it should not take the military days to respond. I liked it because it was neither main characters survive trope, nor main characters all die trope. It was just a big "frick you", which was funny and probably the only good part of the entire thing.
k
Haven't seen it, but if I do take the time to watch it and it ends up being shit, I will personally blame you for it.
Meh the ending works great for the film, but the book is about way more than just this dude and his family. Its essentially links to the Todash and all of his novels
checked, but so what
the "king cinematic universe" is fricking stupid, and the mist story was bland and forgettable
the ending to the movie is far better than 99% of the slop king produces
I mean I guess it is if this is your first experience of flipped expectations, but it isn't exactly hard to just take any story and go "but what if le bad ending"
>"but what if le bad ending"
that would've been the "they all die ending", this was the "frick you" ending
like, the set up at the end was either they make it out or not, and they don't, but not only does the military come right after he shot them, he even gets to see the b***h that went out first has survived with both her kids, kino
he's definitely the most trashy writer that has managed to sell millions if not billions of slop
like 1% of what he's published is actually decent and even then its usually bogged down with weird shit
The music with the chanting during the end sequence is so fricking over the top and hokey. It turns the whole thing into a farce.
>It turns the whole thing into a farce.
I think that's what they were going for anyway
That's not even King's ending. Darabont rewrote the ending. King had David hear some survivors broadcasting on a radio and he decided to try to get to them,
Sounds trash lol
I like the mist. I will always appreciate any media that doesn't make militaries wet flannels that get obliterated in a day or make stupid fricking decisions. This is why I can't like a lot of godzilla or kong films
why you got such a hard-on for the military?
I dont, it just pulls me right out of it the way most films handle it
I wish Darabont would have adapted From A Buick 8 before he flushed his career down the toilet. It's a pretty comfy little story and I think the car portal connects to the same planet the Mist monsters came from.
Stephen King's best work is 11.22.63, and the show with James Franco and Sarah Gadon is kino.
Don't worry. It's kino of the highest order. Sarah Gadon never disappoints.
Franco was surprisingly good in this to the point I quickly forgot it was him and was able to enjoy the show
tbh i'd rather have watched a movie about army guys dabbing on giant spiders and other monsters with heavy firepower.
