Anybody seen 1922 yet?

What is the best King kino and why is it Maximum Overdrive?

Yeah, I thought it was pretty good. It's a solid 8, give or take a point depending on whether you're a King fan or not.

BEHOLD KINO THAT IS STEVEN KING

IMO Stephen King adaptations are all shit except for the least faithful adaptation, The Shining.

Make of that what you will.

From best to worst I would rank this year's Stephen King adaptations:
Gerald's Game
IT
Mr. Mercedes
1922
The Mist
The Dark Tower

LITERALLY the best alien-induced sentient vehicle apocalypse kino ever made.

Just saw Gerald's Game last night and prob gonna force myself to finish the Dark Tower tonight from like a week ago. So bad.

based froggo carried the fuck out of IT

CAN WE CROWD FUND TO GET DOLLY LITTLE TO FILM A BOOK FAITHFUL SEWER GANGBANG EDIT TO THE NEW "IT" MOVIE

SHE IS PERFECT FOR THE ROLE

True. That's only because Kubrick had his own vision whereas most just adapt directly from the source rather than adding their own spin.
Also it's fucking Kubrick.

Just finished it, it was alright.

Couldn't understand the MC's fucking accent half the time though.

this

>mfw watching the langoliers in class

was comfy though in a 80s pepsi commercial type way

Great taste. Gerald's Game was really well done, and probably made me cringe the hardest of any movie this year at the hand part. How was Mr Mercedes?

Just finally saw the new adaptation of It. Had a great time. Even teared up a bit at the end. The blood geyser scene and the projector scene were pretty neat.

I loved the story in Nightmares & Dreamscapes where the kid opens his eyes during a transgalactic flight and ends up seeing infinity or some shit. Its the kind of story that you really can't put on film imo.

I haven't seen it, but is the ending actually a twist of some kind? Because that is kind of what I watch these for.

The Mist is great, new IT was good and Salem's Lot is ok.

Misery is also pretty good.

Carrie, Christine, The Mist, Shawshank Redemption, Green Mile, It 2017, Stand by Me, Misery, The Dead Zone

1922 is really good

Really good l, stayed true to the book. Except the very end.

I came here to post this

THE TRUCKS ARE DEMANDING WE FILL THEIR GAS TANKS

It's an audiovisual treat, worth it for Thomas Jane and Mike Patton alone.

need to do a big budget two part insomnia franchise with some aging big name playing the lead.

take us to the metaphysical horror

I always thought he resembled Art Bell for some reason

>Just finally saw the new adaptation of It.
Of what?

>Longer than you think, dad!
>Longer than you think!

>Kino

Stephen King is the biggest literary hack to ever exist. The only reason his adaptations are good is because the director strips away all of the stupid bullshit. Stephen King should've been an idea man, because he's terrible as a writer.

Silver Bullet is best King movie. Its got pedo sex toy Cory Haim, Anne of Green Gables, Gary Busey and John Locke from LOST in it

Not to mention Everett "Stilgar" McGill.
>MOOAD DEEB BUH

What was the difference? I take it he wasn't murdered by ghosts at the end?

My movie club is screening the Dark Half tonight but I have to work... Am I missing anything decent bros?

Holy crap!
CANNOT BE UNSEEN...

>sorry if this post is doubled - my internet connection is bunk

I enjoyed the audio version of On Writing.

The Mangler was an enjoyable cheesy flick with a few good laughs and okay gore, watched it a weel ago. Recommended

>Nightmares & Dreamscapes

The plastic army men ep is the only good one.
Cat's Eye is a more consistent King anthology.

>Stephen "Kino" King
>not Stephen "Cunny" King

FTFY

Still the GOAT

It's pretty good for what it is. It's one of those things where brainlets accept that it's bad, without seeing it, because it's the popular opinion.

That's from the short story The Jaunt, from the collection Skeleton Crew. I didn't realize it was in the miniseries Nightmares and Dreamscapes because that's a totally different book.

The priest is Big Ed from Twin Peaks as well.

>mfw all I want is a GOOD adaptation of Dolan's Cadillac
It would be true revenge kino

watched it yesterday, pretty solid. one of tom janes best roles.

The ICE

is going TO BREAK

I want a version of needful things that isn't unintentionally hilarious. Even the cast couldn't carry that film.

I laughed so hard when that carriage rode up into the sky. The theater was pissed but I couldn't help it.

Max Von Sydow was amazing in it honestly. Only one that nailed his character.

Totally!

I went with it pretty much, but that ending... Oh wow. I know it went something like that in the story but they didn't have to leave it in like THAT.

This movie literally made me gay for Christopher Walken

>tfw you realize stephen king really did kill john lennon to gain favour with the illuminati elitists

>no pseudo-sequel to The Mist in the form of From a Buick 8
Come on, Hollywood, I know you want my monster shekels.

How has noone mentioned Dolores Claiborne yet?

My internet connection was down.

Love that movie.

The movies of his stories with the least amount of supernatural tend to be better in my opinion (yeah there was the eclipse but that was cool). I still like the supernatural and monsters and stuff but they tend to err on the cheesy side.

That's why the shining is so damn good and the Langoliers is dogshit.

It has always irritated me that this movie doesn't get more recognition, especially Bates's performance.

Also this lady is based.

As with all the best King adaptions.

I think it's really telling most of the best adaptations barely follow his books

Langoliers is TV movie kino though.
Really I recognize that Langoliers is shit but it manages to make me very unsettled. The idea of ending up in a world that has been wholly depopulated and something is coming for you.

It is very bad though. But in a fun way.

Why is the sewer scene in 'It' so controversial but hardly anyone kicks up a fuss about Gerald's Game? I mean they're both pretty out there but 12 year old girl getting diddled by her dad and liking it has got to beat 12 year old gangbang any day.

Yeah that scene when the hubby takes that wooden plank to her back was actually scary cuz drunken rages are quite real.

And the Langoniers thingies were actually the same tier as Pac-Man animation with a SciFi channel budget/effects company. I did enjoy seeing the Balki Bartokomous (Bronson Pinchot) guy freak out and tear up all that paper.

>pic semi related

Why don't you actually go start a crowdfund instead of spamming this shit.

Will The Stand ever be given a definitive adaptation?

The part where he gets smashed over the head with the plate made me jump more than any scene in the shining.

I've already watched 99% of them. .

Most of Kings works are shit

The only way to properly do a Stephen King novel would be the Netflix series/mini series route.

Will it ever get an adaption bros? Or was the husband way too metal in this book?

they say that because no one with a functional brain stem can sit through the goddamned thing

I haven't read or seen Gerald's Game, but the sewer gangbang gets brought up because it comes out of fucking nowhere and has almost no relevance to the plot at all.

Damn, Thomas Jane looks like THAT!?

True. I suppose it's less the actual content and more the sheer randomness. The scenes in Gerald's Game are pretty integral to the plot so they get a pass. It's actually quite a bold move, as opposed to the whole "omg so traumatic" thing they went for in the film adaptation.

Brutal

>Jessie changed out of her shorts and Camp Ossippee tee-shirt and into her new sundress, the one which was pretty but too tight. She put on a dab of Maddy's My Sin perfume, a little of her mother's deodorant, and a fresh application of Peppermint lipgloss. And although she had never been one to linger before the mirror, fussing with herself (that was her mother's term, as in "stop fussing with yourself and come out of there!"), she took time to put her hair up that day because her father had once complimented her on that particular style.

>When she had put the last pin into place, she reached for the bathroom light-switch, then paused. The girl looking back at her from the mirror didn't seem like a girl at all, but a teenager. It wasn't the way the sundress accentuated the tiny swellings that wouldn't really be breasts for another year or so, and it wasn't the lipstick, and it wasn't her hair, held up in a clumsy but oddly fetching chignon; it was all of these things together, a sum greater than its parts because of... what? She didn't know. Something in the way the upsweep of her hair accented the shape of her cheekbones, perhaps. Or the bare curve of her neck, so much sexier than either the mosquito-bumps on her chest or her hipless tomboy's body. Or maybe it was just the look in her eyes-some sparkle that either had been hidden before today or had never been there at all..

>Whatever it was, it made her linger a moment longer, looking at her reflection, and suddenly she heard her mother saying: I swear to God, sometimes you behave as if she were your girlfriend instead of your daughter!

>She bit her pink lower lip, brow Burrowing a little, remembering the night before-the shiver that had gone through her at his touch, the feel of his hands on her breasts. She could feel that shiver trying to happen again, and she refused to let it. There was no sense shivering over stupid stuff you couldn't understand. Or even thinking about it.

What did King mean by this?
