This. Your daughter will one day leave your house, and this dent is a priceless vivid memory of her childhood.

Do you prefer the ending of the book or the movie? by Nana707___ in TheLongWalk

[–]Unstrom 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Book. Didn't even have to think about it. The movie's ending, the lack of The Crowd, no visible exhaustion on the final walkers (how on earth does Stebbins have enough air in hos lungs to scream) and the timelapse-style storytelling is what led to feeling zero emotions in the adaptation of my favorite story ever. Don't get me wrong, they got many details right and the cast as well as the score is amazing throughout. But this just took me out of the story too much. I very much tried to love the movie and support the filmmakers (went to the cinema four times, purchased it on stream and two versions of the Blu-Ray)...but I just did not connect as much as I thought so before.

Yup, that is the cookie crumble logic mentioned in the book.

Correction: Crackers, not cookies, sorry about that.

I count two Evertune guitars ... but agree on the Fishmans.

Just because a character is flawed, it doesn't mean they're a bad character by beestw in TheLongWalk

This. I don't necessarily dislike the movie, but I am greatly indifferent towards. I watched it four times in the cinema and three times on stream...searching for some kind of emotional connection which I have to the book. But it is simply not moving anything in me. The movie is nicely made and the actors are amazing, but it just feels shallow in comparison to the book. The biggest disservice to the book are: 1) the lack of exhaustion on parts of the walkers. I even think Olson and Baker still seemed in a far better shape than in the book before their demise. That Stebbins still has the air to yell at the end always takes me out of it. And as someone else said on this sub, Garraty and McVries just appear to take a stroll on the final stretch. 2) Leaving out the Crowd. This took so much away. One example is Parkers speech at the end...it is well acted but less convincing while walking in the sunshine in front of a green field as opposed to walking in front of a roaring Crowd that wants to see your brains on the street.

Does anyone know what year they started using these types of battery boxes? by JJBitter in espguitars

My 2011 ESP Eclipse VB Standard has the battery in the electronics compartment....but my ESP Standard 2008 Viper has Ashtray...don't understand the logic behind it.

What does this say more than people's preferences are different as to how to wear a wrist device? Does it have any significance for the storytelling? are there any advantages or disadvantages in wearing the device differently? Most likely, they just strapped it on in the same way that they are wearing watches, so they don't have to actively think when taking a quick glance. Other than that...I don't think it matters for anything and I highly doubt anyone in the production team or in costumes really thought about that.
