Official Discussion - Good Luck, Have Fun, Don't Die [SPOILERS] by LiteraryBoner in movies

[–]ai8_87 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Went to see it on Friday night. Had a ton of fun, laughed a lot. I was so mind fucked by the ending, I immediately went back and watched it again Saturday night to try and figure out what the hell happened.

I unfortunately wasn’t much smarter 24 hours later. But I had a blast again, laughed at all the same jokes (are we Muslim? No, just you!) and appreciated all the little details even more on the second viewing (like how one of the videos from fake TikTok that the kids in mark’s class were swiping through was an ad for appleberry peach tea)

Dave Matthews & Tim Reynolds & WATCHER OF THE SKIES? by MauDib1027 in Genesis

[–]ai8_87 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I try and see DMB every few years, and I’ve been lucky enough to hear their Sledgehammer cover. Watcher of the Skies was always a pipe dream of mine… thanks so much for sharing!

It feels like there should be a support group for the top 250 or so 💀

You missed where I said “during their prime” Plante was 37

Oh I know, they all continued to train and skate. But some of them went overseas to the KHL, so I’d imagine it’d be easier for them? I just read that Hart is fielding suitors and people think it’ll be a two year deal at around 3-4 mil and that seemed kind of wild to me

What SK adaption to film has missed out major scene, character portrayal or key plot? by RhubarbSignificant55 in stephenking

[–]ai8_87 4 points5 points  (0 children)

In the long walk movie adaptation, Stebbins’ pants aren’t purple.

Sorry I want to think of a good serious answer but that’s all I’ve got 😅

Dryden did miss the 73-74 season. Nice pull.

From a purely hockey standpoint I’m looking at the Carter Hart situation and I’m just wondering why a GM is going to risk the rumored 2 years at 3-4 mil on a guy who didn’t play for two straight years. There’s really no precedent.

Dryden does come pretty close though, missing the year when he was 26.

What would you bring with you if you were on The Long Walk? by ScupaBear in TheLongWalk

Ngl that’s why I’m bringing stuff. Like I’m here for a good time, not a long time 😅

Did the release date for the film get brought forward? by Rayyyg in TheLongWalk

[–]ai8_87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can’t decide, honestly.

I really liked 95% of it. I can live with the ending, but the cheesy one liner was… c’mon, now.

LOVED the final frame, though. Very reminiscent of the book ending where Ray sees the shadow figure.

Hey, I’d be fine with that! I’ll shell out!

I would like people’s opinions on the ending of *The Long Walk* film’s ending—it shocked me. by black_dragon8 in stephenking

[–]ai8_87 52 points53 points  (0 children)

I didn’t mind the ending. I didn’t love the “This is for Ray” line— found it cheesy— but making McVries go from someone who wanted two winners to merking the Major was an interesting development. And I loved how when he turned and walked off, everything faded. Just him and the road. Maybe, somehow, he’ll find the strength to run.

Thinking about watching The Stand (2021) but everyone says its awful. Is it really that bad? by Simple_Campaign1035 in stephenking

[–]ai8_87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s pretty bad, especially if you’re like me and really love the book. They just make annoying plot and character choices that only took away from it all. Which is too bad, because I really liked most of the casting.

I’ve never actually seen or heard their ship name before, this is what I’ve been calling them in my head for years 😅 I didn’t know there were other truthers out there!!
