The acting in Stephen King shows is better, such as 11.22.63 and Castle Rock both starring Sarah Gadon.
James Franco was stunning and brilliant and you know it!
Yes. He wouldn't have been cast opposite someone as talented as Sarah Gadon otherwise.
Sarah Gadon is best Stpehen King waifu.
Sarah Gadon was also in Dog Day Afternoon, starring alongside Dunk Acino.
Stop Sarah Gordon-derailing my thread!
For me it's Sarah Gadon's fat butt in Castle Rock.
I love Sarah Gadon's butt.
Perfect butt
Sarah Gadon is perfect.
>Sarah Gadon is perfect.
She truly is.
Talented and beloved canadian actress Sarah Gadon.
Sarah Gadon had such a fat ass in this show. Love it!
They're made by different directors and there isn't a common trend in the acting in them.
ok, this movie is pure shit. John Ritters character drinks a bottle of whisky in a hour
why did the bully barp at the dork?

did kids really build dams for fun back in the 30s?
did they not have any games to play, like monopoly, crabs, poker och chess?
back in those days, according to Mr. King himself, the children ages up to 12 were very much into orgies, specially those 5M1F ones
It was in the 50s and probably because there wasn’t anything to do in doors
u talk like u grew up in those days, but I call you bullshit like, ffs,, didn't they have stuff like flipper games and pongs? Bowling and cinema was a thing. I mean they were watching tv and movies in the It-movie.
but ye, I kind of see ya point with their parents and stuff, that girl being molested by her beerdrinkin father, the fattie being mobbed by his cousin, eddie being incested by his overprocted mother, the billie-boy cut and slacked by his tweeners and that girl having to shower with them boys being attacked by a clown so I see u have a point
t.
>the black detective is a master at climbing fences
how did King get away with this?
Because they're made for tv. Back in the day you had something known as "May Sweeps" where television networks would pour money into various miniseries. Stephen King was a staple and it was a comfy time to be alive.
>May Sweeps
How do we go back?
it doesn't excuse the bad acting/dialogue though, or does it?
yes it does. tv back then were tv back then. it kinda changed with X-files and NYPD: Blue. I remember a lesson in class back in the days when my teacher in cinematography marveled at the shadows and light and camera work of NYPDblue and if you know what to look for you can spot a significant difference between this and lets say Twin Peaks, MacGyver, later Columbo, Beverly Hills, Star Trek TNG early Baywatch or whatever show was at the top in 1990/1991
and then arrived HBO with Homicide, Oz, Milenium, Stargate and all those. Then Lost and OC came and we haven't really looked back
It's from a time when doing television was seen as a step down in celebrity so the only people you'd see were journeymen, (sometimes solid) character actors, lightweight leading men, and those who had done something in their private lives that blacklisted them (e.g. why do you think Rob Lowe was in so many of them?) I'd say it looking back it increases their charm and at the time it was above serviceable.
are you calling Annette O'Toole a journeylady?
She'd be in the lightweight category. The "I know that name" but not the "I'm going to see the latest (Annette O'Toole) picture" category.
if she performed like she did in cat People I would watch every single flick of hers
personally, from rewatching It, I blame the silly dialogue and the actors being gutless in not trying to improve Kings shittyness
There's a level of camp in Stephen King that goes under the radar for most people.
>Langoliers
I would have went with Storm of the Century and Dolores Clayborn for good acting.

Also, King is likely a pedo. Recurring theme in his work.

>Miyazaki

>Spielberg

>Jackson

>Madonna
all of the big stars/filmmakes of the 80s/90s knew their stuff
Oh, add those that were once up and coming but had their careers take a downturn to
(e.g. Molly Ringwald).
langoliers and thinner have great acting
the only good acting in langoliers is that dude who's panicking all the time and he's only good cuz his character isn't what it wasn't

this result says a lot about It 2017 if one judges by the posts in this thread
The first half of both of them are great. I'd argue the 2017 one falls apart worse in the second half compared to the miniseries (except for the under the bleachers scene). A slightly decomposed Belch appearing from under the bed in the insane asylum (miniseries) was nightmare fuel as a kid.
I remember how everyone in general were creaming themselves about the new it
so I watched it
and it was garbage
and then part 2 came out and everyone said it's not as good as part 1..
I pretty much agree. I think Bill Skarsgard wasn’t a bad choice for Pennywise but I’m not entirely convinced he was the best either. The biggest problem I had with the new version is setting it in the 80s felt like a cheap capitalization on the success of Stranger Things.
Bill Skasgaard was also good in Stephen King's Castle Rock with Sarah Gadon.
>cheap capitalization on the success of Stranger Things
Stranger Things was a bubble gum cannibalization of Stephen King though. They set it in the 80s because half the story takes place when the characters are kids and the other half takes place when they're adults. Blowing boomers is slowly going out of fashion as they die off so updating the characters to GenX made sense.
