come on stephen king could do better with this one all his movies are good not this one it is boring i think i will give this one 1 meaning not to good at all!!!
This is sooo far off from the book...really! I mean Cowley didn't even come into play this early, and I don't ever remember ONE chapter where Thad was actually giving a lecture...booo on the movie, now I guess I have to read the last half!
This is the only time I've ever like a movie better than the book. The Dark Half has always been my least favorite King book. Long, unnatural monologues by characters to give background stories. Repetitive use of phrases. I just never enjoyed it. Compared to everything else he's written, for me it just didn't measure up. But considering how great I find everything else he writes is, one dud is not really a big deal.
@jonny5613 yeah man the book is better and all books are better then the movies. especially when it comes to stephen kings books. dont be mad because your illiterate.
@jonny5613 Well, if you read, you'd know how to spell 'bragging.' And, I hate to break it to you, but if reading sucked so bad, there wouldn't be people making a living off of writing books...
dude this is my favorite movie, im sort of a writer myself, though not like authors, i just like writing, maybe i should be an editor, i find myself always correcting ppls mistakes and cant help it
Beaumont talks about dual reality in the class room but really when you have read the book and some time later watched the film you are in dual reality. I don't know if this is good for the film or the book. My point the film cannot match the book. The inner self is more important (the book) - screen presence less so. Read king books for over 25 years cheers.
sk must have been hurt bc this is in his books and stuff, trusting sheep, innocent ppl getting screwed over. U have to have the counterweight for the attempt. Yeah, that classic deranged person is usually wrong bc they can't structure sentences in the way that normal people do. Writers are pathological, knowing the truth, the lie and the outcome of both.
You can study bestsellers? I wasn't aware there was a class for that. By your rationale, you can read a bunch of bestsellers and then easily emulate them and be a big literary star like King. Wow, I didn't know it was that easy. Man, you are absolutely right. Why didn't I think of that? I've been going about it the wrong way--writing because I enjoy it. Thank you so much for enlightening me. I'll start "studying bestsellers" right away! :)
@Clericjack, Even Stephen King himself says to read. But you're not doing it for your health- you're doing it to learn how to write and yes, there is a formula. If you "study" enough, you will see it. Bestsellers have things in common, just like writers who can't get published often share a certain mentality.
I am fully aware of the way to be an effective writer: Read a lot and write a hell of a lot more. I just want to be the best I can be. I mean you write because you love to do it, regardless of whether is gets published or not. And, yeah, you can write for your health--mental health. It's cathartic, you excerise your mind and you let the floodgates of your imagination open. If you are doing it for the sake of making money...I pity you.
@Clerijack, Thanks for your comment. You're in no position to pity a writer for any type of motive. People do things for different reasons. Tere are people that work @ McDonalds because they need a job to pay their bills & there are people that work there because they just like making hamburgers. Go figure. But if a person wants to write for a living, they've got to earn $ with the writing. There's no way around that. Eaither they earn $ writing or they take a job (McD?)& write on their break.
The thing is, no matter how much you study bestsellers and how many classes you take, the chances of you becoming a Stephen King or a John Grisham or a Michael Crichton are slim to none. If it were as simple as learning a formula then everybody would be doing it. The average writer makes about seven grand a year, so, yeah, you are probably going to have to work another job. My only comment is that you do it because you love it or at least are interested in it. You dont do it for money.
@Clericjack, I didn't say anything about taking classes. I said there is a formula. But if you yourself aren't able to see that then perhaps you're not really cut out to be a writer. So yeah, your best bet - and I mean YOU- would be to write for amusement and nothing more. Take care.
I can see what you're talking about, but it's not the same actor, here it's Robert Joy and in Pet Semetary it was Brad Greenquist I think, but there is somewhat of a resemblance between the two.
Well, it is the easiest thing to do. Take bits of yourself and throw them into your characters, it becomes personal and more comfortable. I write, and that's what I do.
You don't write to make it a best seller. You write to write and as long as you are getting off your own work, really digging it, having a blast, then who cares what happens to it after that? It's all gravy and found money as far as I"m concerned.
Thanks, haha. I guess you could consider it YA Sci-fi, unless the language puts it into the adult region. I'm 16 at the time I'm writing it, so I can't really tell.
@MouseWithPower, did you check out that book I mentioned by that 17 yr. old guy I told you about? I know your work is better than that + your young age is on your side. That's something publishers can even put on the fron or back cover of the book.
Ha, thanks. I don't remember you mentioning a book, but maybe I'll check it out. And I'm not even halfway done writing yet, so I dunno how old I'll be when it's done....
Wow this movie is an adaptation of stephen king himself, the horror writing, the drinking problem..........it's like he took an extreme context of himself and made a character. Funny how writers do that.
is george starks the so called twin that was unborn inside of him? what did his wife mean by he becomes another person like is the twin taking over inside of him which is evil?
Thats why I hate seeing a movie based on a book when you havent read the book because is impossible to understand the whole history, Like in The Shining from Kubrick.
I couldn't agree more - never was it more apparent than Cujo. I mean really, how can a director get the dog's thoughts onto the screen? He doesn't and changes the ending...I walked out of that movie very dissappointed. It should not have had a "happy" ending. :-)
@alexstrozzi12 thats the whole point of "movies" thats based on book is to not follow it perfectly and piss off readers that read the book and it keepspeople debating about it which was better book or movie ect...
I think so. I think the twin sorta came alive when he started writing, remember that's when the head problems started. So I suppose writing awakens the "evil" twin.
lol I wonder if I'd have trouble trusting a horror writer, ya know? Meh, depends.
Jekyll & Hide, cool. I've seen one good Jekyll & Mr. Hide movie, it was British, I think. lol
Robert Joy is fucking sexy in this film (he's always sexy anyway) he was like the only reason i even bothered watching this movie (i don't mean to sound like a jerk or anything).
i've never read the book, but the whole "writer vs human" thing applies to King himself...alot of what he writes about applies to him, as in King looking as himself as a writer, a human, and a monster...all sides :-)
