Brunette427: "Yelling" ? How does one Yell on the computer in a Comment section? That defies science. If you mean people are complaining in CAPITAL LETTERS - well, those that write a lot use CAPITAL LETTERS to bring out a specific point or idea to be expressed in a sentence. Kids may use CAPITAL LETTERS as if they're yelling - but I doubt very many KIDS are watching this flick. I haven't started it yet - but I HOPE the audio is perfect - Or I MAY YELL at my keyboard !!!
i like the book but i appreciate the movie better, sheerly because though there was a limit to what could be put into it it's one of the few movies stephen did that wasn't edited for content but only time so you get to understand what he wanted from the book moreover than anything
@vTHExUNKNOWENv Yes it will....one of these days someone will make a fated mistake....I don't believe that the plague will be what kills us all off...but...it will be what follows that will.
I got to meet Steven King when he was passing through our small town, he signed my copy of The Stand and talked with me for a long time. I told him that I wanted to be a writer and how awesome I thought he was..He is one of the sweetest people I have ever met!
reading the book for the first time and vagualey remember watching this as a kid i love king he's so awesome so i figure im going to watch this up to where im at in the book finish the book finish this and then read the comics :D and having dont fear the reaper here at the start as always stayed with me
reading the book for the first time and vagualey remember watching this as a kid i love king he's so awesome so i figure im going to watch this up to where im at in the book finish the book finish this and then read the comics :D
Just now watching this, or rather watching it to where I'm at in the Book, but thank you very much, I don't care about the watermark, thank you a million times over. Thank you!
thats always the way in these plague films, one idiot wont do what hes told and srews the rest of the world just to save thier own skins, and then dies anyway.
@ravenstar100 That's what I always found so creepy about it, that there really doesn't seem to be an alternative for what happened, that the time had come and that the plague would break out and kill everybody anyway.
In the novel, it also mentions that they had created a number of bacteria/viruses with this same ability...it also implies that the virus must have mutated quickly because it killed the Project Blue staff basically where they stood but took several days to kill the Campion family.
@WGBudd801 It's not surprising to see liberals who would like to see further wealth redistribution programs, larger governments, and fewer freedoms also would like to see people get killed for having different political beliefs. People like you are a real credit to the democrat party! :-)
Does anybody else not get why Campion is the only one whose seen after the alert sounds? Where is everybody else? the plague couldn't have killed all the other families in the compound before Campion even got to his house, so why wasn't anyone else running around when the siren blew?
..people are predictable, things happen in a sort of progression, that's how things can be prophesiesed, esp. if one has great intelligence and understanding, like God does...doesn't mean He causes bad things to happen...too bad He has been so slandered by false religious teachings originating from the greatest enemy of all mankind, who wants to see us all destroyed..guess who!!??
Here is an exceptionally accurate list of the best Actors in the movie based on casting (per the novel's depiction) and actual screen performance.
1-Sinise/STU 2-Ferrer/LLOYD 3-Fagerbakke/TOM 4-Sheridan/FLAGG 5-Lowe/NICK 6-Dee/ABIGAIL 7-Frewer/TRASH 8 (T)-Walston/GLEN + The Crow playing Flagg as A Crow 9-Nemec/HAROLD 10-Storke/LARRY {should have been much better;best in book) 11-San Giacomo/NADINE.......................99-Ringwald/FRANNIE 100-Kareem Abdul-Jabbar/Himself.
What's really creepy about the whole idea here is that with the religious tones put into it, that means that the plague and this outbreak at the compond was meant to happen at that time and that there was no preventing it. That's the part I find really creepy, more so than just the idea of there being an 'accident' of some kind in the lab.
Well this was a scene what hunts me all childhood, no monsters cant bring fear about dying like be killed so quickly by a virus, this is just horrible and its the best directed opening scene of horror that i can remember, i will remember this my whole life and maybe after that too...hehee
@Se1ander "And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone"
"Death and Hades were cast into the lake of fire."
the cowardly, the faithless, the detestable, as for murderers, the sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars, their portion will be in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur"
I'd say that the "lake of fire" is the nuke, as it kills Randall Flagg and the people of Vegas, who fit the description of the quotes.
I have seen some people question why King wrote the screen play opening different from the book (ie day time) I think he did to have a few shots of the calm before the storm (the children, playing the mom hanging clothes etc.) I often like the movies based on his book that he writes the screen plays for as I feel his changes make the stories work well on film.
@littlesongbird1 you know this story is connected to The Dark Towers series with Roland the Gunslinger ,Randall Flagg hails from Roland's alternate universe!
Now that I've FINALLY finished the uncut edition of "The Stand", I can watch this I ask, "Why can't movies these days be as close to the book as this?"
@NeptuneMS385 The only thing that killed it for me the first time around was Max Headroom's really wobbly prop nuclear missiles being trucked through Las Vegas in, I think, the last ep. Everything else worked -- but getting a little stingy with the props budget in such a way took me right out of the moment in a really unforgivable way. However, this sequence here...haunted me like a nightmare since it first aired because it was so restrained, so elegant, and so terrifyingly believable.
@NeptuneMS385 i totally agree! i have the uncut book and have read it so many times my binding is falling apart. I also love the movie but I can't even begin to compare the two...they are so night and day. I feel the same way with IT. I LOVE the book and I enjoy the movie but the two are just not comparable.
im sorry but they could have covered the story in about 45 mins...what aload of drawn out shit...why do they employ the shittest most annoying actors..fuking hated it another shit adaption like rose red...unless you goona make a desent movie,leave kings work alone...please dont make the dark tower,it will go on 4 2 years and will bore the fuck out of peeps... 0.0/10
@ElderlyPossum just thought it dragged on too long and you didnt really learn all that much,just could cut down on that abit...dont get me wrong my fav film is the shinning,
@mrMash1975 Though I don't agree with you in generel I have to admit that I don't want The Dark Tower to be filmed. It has potential for something epic as The Lord of The Rings, but I'm afraid that it will just suck in comparison to the book. Sadly...
what yall dont seem to understand is that this was a Man Made "biological weapon" not just a regular virus, meaning that it was somehow mutated to spread and kill faster, the fact that it spread so fast and ghosts its way through bilogical suits and hundreds of feet of ground doesn't surprise me because i'm sure that the scientists/government meant for it to be that deadly in the first place hence a "biological weapon"
@MrJohnDeville Captain Trips is not some magic weapon. The only magic may have been by Flagg causing it's release into the air. Captain Trips is just a ultra nasty airborne flu virus. It does not travel thru the ground, it get out thru the vent pipes. It does not go thru bio suits. Filters only last so long & need to be changed. Beards need to be shaved for a face mask to seal. Once capt. trips spreads thru out the world, there is no where safe to breathe without a mask on. How would you eat?
And the one question that keeps running through my mind is WHY were they people working there? The superflu was a MAN MADE one, they were not trying to find a cure for it, they were creating the disease that killed everyone, and WHY? That's the part that makes no sense to me unless they were looking to perfect how the Europeans killed off the Indians with the smallpox blankets. But then the question remains who were these scientists trying to kill off with it?
It's the same reason why they made nuclear weapons capable of wiping out mankind. The scary thing is this is very, very real; the Soviet Union (and the US) produced a number of strains in quantities capable of wiping out mankind. In fact, the USSR weaponized smallpox and ebola to frightening levels, easily comparable to the superflu in the stand.
@TheBookWorm1718 Stand is a true story (- Flagg), just hasn't happened YET. If you have not read the book, read the full latest version. Theme is Pandora's Box. It's what happens when the Military Industrial Complex runs the US with unlimited funding since the 1950's. King got the location of Project Blue wrong. It's at Dugway UT. If there is $ to be made people will do unethical things, including building advanced Bioweapons. "Research" & Testing" are cover words (lies) used dupe the taxpayers.
@TheBookWorm1718 Mankind has always been looking for better ways to kill each other. Nothing new there. The thought of scary weapons such as nuclear & bio are useful tools of goverments to keep the population in fear & under control. Who knows if they can ever make a Captain Trips that is 99.4% deadly, but rest assured that they are working very hard to do so & spending a lot of your tax $ on it. The target doesn't matter, the goal is to have more bigger & better "toys" than the other guy has.
Great mini-series! The first episode was supremely creepy. Wish it could have kept up the intrigue level until the end. Don't get me wrong, I really enjoyed it.
@BrownBrown90 I know what you mean, the beginning of it is just SO damn creepy and it has that feel of 'this COULD happen' that especially leaves you sitting watching it wondering 'what's going to happen next?' and then at the end of the fouth part it's more like a traditional good vs evil storyline, the suspense and anxiety of the unknown is pretty much gone by then.
gahhh the book explains everything so much into detail DANGIT, WHY THEY SCREW UP THE BEGINNING!...and, its at night too! and.... and...she asks if she can pack some clothes and stuff, yeah!!!!
@littlesongbird1 Possibly, but I think the Revelations quote is most fitting. It ties in quite nicely with Stu quoting the same verses in the final episode, so I'm happy with that as long as that is the only change..... =)
Sh!t after watching TV on an old fashion Philps BIG screen Projection TV with the colors going out of wack!!!!! A few letters don't bother me I remember watching this as a Kid... Funny it conjers up child hood memeries Thanx 4 posting Brunette427 your friend djslim104
The one thing I never understood is how the virus got to Campion in the first place. How did the virus manage to ghost its way through 150 metres of dirt, rock, and steel. Not to mention that the lab itself has a separate air supply than the rest of the underground compound specifically because of situations like this. BTW, its physically impossible for a virus to multiply fast enough to kill its host in less than a couple of days, let alone a matter of minutes.
@godbut I read the book. What I'm asking is how Campion (the soldier) got infected in the first place. He was above ground, and the virus was hundreds of feet underground in a separate air supply. You really should pay attention to what my post actually says before you comment. I love SK and this book; its just biologically unrealistic.
@antmanzero True, but a few hundred feet through solid matter is physically impossible. Labs like that are hermetically sealed off for this very reason. No virus can ghost its way through steel, germ suits, or rock. I think SK's knowledge of biology was lacking when he wrote this. Still my fave book tho
@bumoffhtestreet Well it was written in what, 1980? I don't know much about the matter but seeing as how most things improve with time it could be those kinds of places were not as 'foolproof' as they are now.
That T.S elliot qoute wasn't the right one for this film it was a Bible qoute about the Pale horse or something like that which was referenced throught this movie.
Thanks for posting this! I'm just starting to watch it now that the making of the big screen movie has been announced. I've never see it so I'm looking forward to viewing. Looks like it was a lot of work to do!
@alexkrycek21 Well, he spread it quickly. They might have been able to contain it and keep losses low (that is, perhaps only those on the base would have died) if he hadn't run away, but we got off to Texas too quickly.
On the book, S.K. cites some kind of a research about the number of deaths on plane crashes. Something about unconscious death avoidance of those that no-showed on their flights. Is it true guys?
@bigd23608 My geography teacher showed us tht and then when i was watching this i couldn't stop thinking it! i was like CURSE YOU MR.CAMPBELL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I vividly remember being I think 14 and HOOKED to the TV, recording every episode and watching the whole thing from beginning to end multiple times. I've had the DVD ever since it came out and have also watched it many times (it has an insanely good commentary by Stephen King, Mick Garris (the director) Miguel Firrer, Rob Lowe and more)
@sgtpepper1138 Sounds awesome. I'm definitely going to buy it! I loved the movie when I was growing up, too. It was on the SyFy channel a few weeks ago...and I was hooked to my tv watching it the entire day! And the only thing that can make a great movie even greater is awesome commentary. Does it have any other special features, like behind the scenes footage?
@sgtpepper1138 I figured as much. lol I was just getting greedy and hoping that maybe there would be an extra disc with just special features. But, hey, commentary itself is a treasure! Especially if the master of horror himself is on there. ;)
@MaggieLovesJimmy Yeah, he does a lot of it. It switches between him and some cast members an stuff, but Stephen King is one of those people I could listen to him talk all day. He's such a cool guy.
thanks for uploading, i know it takes a long time. So heres a playlist for people like me that found it hard to get the order right. Hope I didn't mess it up.
What I don't get is that if the virus all of a sudden broke free from the laboratory, how did it get all the way to Campion the security guard so fast?? That just makes no sense. It should have taken a hours one would think to get all the way out there and reach him at the gate. In the book, I remember he is right near the main door of the lab, and it is open like 20 minutes before he finally even notices.
@WheelsRCool If you noticed the pipes comming up from the ground youd probably assume that an air born virus got out thru the vents in the lab,made its way up those vents then spread world wide. just and asumption tho lol.
I dont get it. Is there something in the air that is making people drop dead on the floor and how did all this happen? Someone PLEASE tell me what the heck is going on in this movie.
@TheZa1994 Basically the US develop a virus for use in germ warfare, secretly because of the geneva convention. One man escapes the compound carrying the virus and it then spreads - the government try to control it by quarantine but it doesnt work - soon the whole of the us is infected, save a few who were immune, then it spreads across the world - that is the basic premise - how society crumbles in the face of a deadly virus
What this intro needs is ----MORE COWBELL!!!!

That guy in prison is the black rider, starvation. Because he is about to starve to death.
The Trashcan man is war, the red rider. Since he likes blowing things up, and setting them on fire.

@mrMash1975 Though I don't agree with you in generel I have to admit that I don't want The Dark Tower to be filmed. It has potential for something epic as The Lord of The Rings, but I'm afraid that it will just suck in comparison to the book. Sadly...

what yall dont seem to understand is that this was a Man Made "biological weapon" not just a regular virus, meaning that it was somehow mutated to spread and kill faster, the fact that it spread so fast and ghosts its way through bilogical suits and hundreds of feet of ground doesn't surprise me because i'm sure that the scientists/government meant for it to be that deadly in the first place hence a "biological weapon"
MrJohnDeville 9 months ago
@MrJohnDeville Captain Trips is not some magic weapon. The only magic may have been by Flagg causing it's release into the air. Captain Trips is just a ultra nasty airborne flu virus. It does not travel thru the ground, it get out thru the vent pipes. It does not go thru bio suits. Filters only last so long & need to be changed. Beards need to be shaved for a face mask to seal. Once capt. trips spreads thru out the world, there is no where safe to breathe without a mask on. How would you eat?

And the one question that keeps running through my mind is WHY were they people working there? The superflu was a MAN MADE one, they were not trying to find a cure for it, they were creating the disease that killed everyone, and WHY? That's the part that makes no sense to me unless they were looking to perfect how the Europeans killed off the Indians with the smallpox blankets. But then the question remains who were these scientists trying to kill off with it?

Mutually assured destruction.
It's the same reason why they made nuclear weapons capable of wiping out mankind. The scary thing is this is very, very real; the Soviet Union (and the US) produced a number of strains in quantities capable of wiping out mankind. In fact, the USSR weaponized smallpox and ebola to frightening levels, easily comparable to the superflu in the stand.

@TheBookWorm1718 Stand is a true story (- Flagg), just hasn't happened YET. If you have not read the book, read the full latest version. Theme is Pandora's Box. It's what happens when the Military Industrial Complex runs the US with unlimited funding since the 1950's. King got the location of Project Blue wrong. It's at Dugway UT. If there is $ to be made people will do unethical things, including building advanced Bioweapons. "Research" & Testing" are cover words (lies) used dupe the taxpayers.
ClarenceBoddicker87 8 months ago
@TheBookWorm1718 Mankind has always been looking for better ways to kill each other. Nothing new there. The thought of scary weapons such as nuclear & bio are useful tools of goverments to keep the population in fear & under control. Who knows if they can ever make a Captain Trips that is 99.4% deadly, but rest assured that they are working very hard to do so & spending a lot of your tax $ on it. The target doesn't matter, the goal is to have more bigger & better "toys" than the other guy has.

@BrownBrown90 I know what you mean, the beginning of it is just SO damn creepy and it has that feel of 'this COULD happen' that especially leaves you sitting watching it wondering 'what's going to happen next?' and then at the end of the fouth part it's more like a traditional good vs evil storyline, the suspense and anxiety of the unknown is pretty much gone by then.

The one thing I never understood is how the virus got to Campion in the first place. How did the virus manage to ghost its way through 150 metres of dirt, rock, and steel. Not to mention that the lab itself has a separate air supply than the rest of the underground compound specifically because of situations like this. BTW, its physically impossible for a virus to multiply fast enough to kill its host in less than a couple of days, let alone a matter of minutes.

godbut 10 months ago
@godbut I read the book. What I'm asking is how Campion (the soldier) got infected in the first place. He was above ground, and the virus was hundreds of feet underground in a separate air supply. You really should pay attention to what my post actually says before you comment. I love SK and this book; its just biologically unrealistic.

jimbo271uk 10 months ago
@bumoffhtestreet Think. A highly infectious virus, kills off 99.4% of the population in 15 or so days, correct? A few hundred feet is nothing.
antmanzero 10 months ago
@antmanzero True, but a few hundred feet through solid matter is physically impossible. Labs like that are hermetically sealed off for this very reason. No virus can ghost its way through steel, germ suits, or rock. I think SK's knowledge of biology was lacking when he wrote this. Still my fave book tho
bumoffhtestreet 10 months ago
@bumoffhtestreet Well it was written in what, 1980? I don't know much about the matter but seeing as how most things improve with time it could be those kinds of places were not as 'foolproof' as they are now.

I vividly remember being I think 14 and HOOKED to the TV, recording every episode and watching the whole thing from beginning to end multiple times. I've had the DVD ever since it came out and have also watched it many times (it has an insanely good commentary by Stephen King, Mick Garris (the director) Miguel Firrer, Rob Lowe and more)
sgtpepper1138 1 year ago
@sgtpepper1138 Sounds awesome. I'm definitely going to buy it! I loved the movie when I was growing up, too. It was on the SyFy channel a few weeks ago...and I was hooked to my tv watching it the entire day! And the only thing that can make a great movie even greater is awesome commentary. Does it have any other special features, like behind the scenes footage?
MaggieLovesJimmy 1 year ago
@MaggieLovesJimmy I don't think there was much besides the commentary. The movie's like 6+hrs long, and the compression would be insane.
sgtpepper1138 1 year ago
@sgtpepper1138 I figured as much. lol I was just getting greedy and hoping that maybe there would be an extra disc with just special features. But, hey, commentary itself is a treasure! Especially if the master of horror himself is on there. ;)

What I don't get is that if the virus all of a sudden broke free from the laboratory, how did it get all the way to Campion the security guard so fast?? That just makes no sense. It should have taken a hours one would think to get all the way out there and reach him at the gate. In the book, I remember he is right near the main door of the lab, and it is open like 20 minutes before he finally even notices.
WheelsRCool 1 year ago
@WheelsRCool If you noticed the pipes comming up from the ground youd probably assume that an air born virus got out thru the vents in the lab,made its way up those vents then spread world wide. just and asumption tho lol.

@TheZa1994 Basically the US develop a virus for use in germ warfare, secretly because of the geneva convention. One man escapes the compound carrying the virus and it then spreads - the government try to control it by quarantine but it doesnt work - soon the whole of the us is infected, save a few who were immune, then it spreads across the world - that is the basic premise - how society crumbles in the face of a deadly virus
