Last Film You Watched

[Tommy Chong]

The problem with anything to do with Werewolves, is the same as Vampires, it`s got to be really extra special or a completely different take, to be any good, as both genres have been done to death.

I`m struggling to to think of the last really decent Werewolf film - American Werewolf, Dog Soldiers, Ginger Snaps, The Howling ?

Michael J. Fox in Teen Wolf?

Stephen King didn’t like the Shining film

Kind said in a documentary the book is about alcoholism and the madness that creates and the only reference kept in the film to alcoholism was the scene and exchange with the bartender in the hotel bar (that scene was parodied in a tv advert I think but I can’t remember what for - maybe about drink driving?)?

I always read it as sacred ground fighting back, it was a theme he had...

He’s a brilliant writer King, i think he would of made more great work if not for his major cocaine addiction.

I think he had a problem with Jack Nicholson’s acting in the film and said that the character is more good natured in the book than in the film.

They did touch on the alcoholism theme in the sequel: Doctor Sleep.

Ewan McGregor’s character Dan (Jack’s son) is a recovering alcoholic due to the trauma suffered from the first novel/movie.

I just (think I) remember him saying he took the opportunity as a recovering alcoholic to highlight the horrors of it in that book and the film didn’t cover it for him apart from that one scene.

Long time ago and it won’t be the first nor last time I’ve got something arse about face.

He did a haunted car (maximum overdrive), cursed supernatural land (pet sematary), the hotel in the Shining is on cherokee or similar burial (?) land, cursed nightmares/imaginations (It). Then he cursed some kid with the ability of foresight for deaths (the dead zone).

He does have a bit of a type of idea. This is entirely my useless opinion of course. I can only imagine being a multi multi multi millionaire what kind of cheddar he was having delivered and getting royally smoked on. Good for him.

I doesn’t matter anymore though.

Stephen King is yesterday’s news. It’s all about Dean Koontz now…

Dean Koontz

Author of Odd Thomas, Phantoms, and Brother Odd

www.goodreads.com

‘Recently acknowledged as "America's most popular suspense novelist" (Rolling Stone) and as one of today's most celebrated and successful writers…’

Get with the times, lads.

I'm still on betamax. With the times?

Went to watch Jaws in IMAX last night for it's 50th anniversary, favorite movie of all time, just brilliant. Must have seen it over 100 times at this stage

Watched this again recently myself. Top-shelf film. Just excellent.

Ummm… Get with the ‘zeitgeist’ of horror/thriller novelists?

Betamax is a good point of reference. I think that’s how long Koontz has been playing second fiddle to King… Binding his time, waiting for his day in the sun, lol.
