Are we talking about the same movie? I don't remember if I read it or not - I used to read everything King put out - but it's a freaking awesome movie! REDRUM!

I'll have to see if I can find it and read it again.

It's the first Stephen King book I ever read. I was tremendously excited about seeing the movie when it came out, particularly since Kubrick directed one of my favorite movies of all time, A Clockwork Orange. But, though I thought The Shinging was very good, I couldn't fully enjoy it when I saw it the first time, because I went into it hoping for something that captured the book and it did not. I have liked later viewings more, because I know not to expect fidelity to what inspired it.

Does anyone have any thoughts on this new production of The Stand that’s due up soon?

It’s not looking too good to me.

You are never going to find perfection. It’s one of the better movies.

I haven’t seen the remake of Pet Sematary, but the cat is awesome!

I agree. I simply don't think it represents the book well. Or at least I didn't when I saw the movie when it was released, not long after I read the book. For all I know, if I reread the book now (I've only read it the once) and then watched the movie, I might feel differently. I was much more ferociously opinionated and dogmatic in 1980 than I am now.

Movie of the night is Let Me In. I don’t think I‘ve seen it before.

I'm curious to see Alexander Skarsgård's Randall Flagg. And Owen Teague's Harold Lauder (he was good in Bloodline).

Lot of Australians in the cast. I hope they give good American.

I liked the Swedish original. Haven't seen the English-language version yet.

Jamey Sheridan will always embody Randall Flagg for me.

I usually don’t watch remakes but it could be an exception

And can anyone top Matt Frewer’s Trashcan Man?

Seeing as the first was terrible I’m not inclined to watch a remake.

I think the cat should get it’s own movie.

TPA Juicy Peach 8% and INW Cactus also at 8%. It's a lot of cactus but I like it.

That is a lot of cactus. I used 2.5% in a recipe and it was horrible. Have you tried this recipe yet?

eh I don't much care for tobacco vapes but as this was a sample I figured I should at least try it
flavorwise it's not bad (as far as tobacco's go) and I could enjoy it if it weren't so freaking harsh
I added 5 drops of lb fresh cream to it, which usually will smooth over most vapes but this one is still harsh...going to try some more...

I like ry4d and usually use it 6-8% in a recipe.

I haven’t read a book in a long time. I used to read when I took my youngest daughter to violin lessons. I had a lot of books on my iPad. Mostly fantasy stuff.

I got back into playing my avengers game on ps4 this weekend and for a change played for quite a while and had fun with it. I normally get frustrated after 10-15 minutes and shut it off. I purposely made mention to my wife that the new Valhalla game looked like fun. Maybe I’ll get it for Xmas.

ug...lol not vape related just ticked off
placed a grocery order and half of it was out of stock, walmart is usually pretty good about marking things out of stock but jesh....
now gotta make yet another order for tomorrow, mainly just because I need tp
usually I set everything to do not substitute because usually it's something more expensive and smaller sized...but this time i'm gonna allow it because well as stated I need tp which was one of the items on today's delivery that apparently was out of stock
