Something like this WILL happen. The elitist scum that control our world want the population drastically reduced. Look at how many man made viruses/diseases have sprung up in the last 30 or so years. Scary....isn't it?
The general is the first Embarrassing actor in this flick. His Over-Acting was silly and without serious direction. Sitting in an office chugging Johnnie Walker isn't how generals cope. And even his mental expressions are way off base for anyone in this situation. So the General sucks.
When I was about 15-16 and cut my leg with a saw - I found out that I was not really Squeemish about human injuries. I am just one of those that don't get sick when I see physical injuries - and I should have gone into Medicine I guess. So when I see actors throwing up at the sight of some things Physical - I kinda understand their point. But in an emergency situation - one has to put off and out of their mind their Squeemish attitudes. It isn't Strength - it is common sense and survival.
@AaronCherr Never thought of that. But I find it hard to believe that if they had stayed in the compound, that it would've never gotten out and still infected people.
It's implied that the government would have called in an airstrike on the compound...but Flagg was the one manipulating this situation so it's likely it would have gotten out no matter what. However, that's only in a Dark Tower sense...if this were just a situation in our world Hal keeping his pumps on would have saved mankind.
@AaronCherr Maybe. However, you've got to wonder...how many people would they come into contact with on their trip in our world? Yes it's an airborne disease,but if you cough into the air....it makes it communicable, wouldn't it? The pumps remaining on may not have helped at all. However, I've never read the book so I don't know if it states they never stopped on their way. I'm analyzing fiction but...you never know.. they are creating some scary things we have no idea about....
@eyeslikedeceit Yeah I was thinking about that too. Okay, say the pumps were left on and they all die in a fiery mass...that's okay for Arnette, it keeps the flu from spreading any further, HOWEVER, Campion had already crossed what, 3, 4 states? All those people that he would've infected, it would be too late for them and all the other people they would've encountered.
I'm reading the book right now, and I can tell it's gonna take me a while to get through it. King writes long books, and the copy of the Stand I bought clocks in at over 800 pages. to put things in perspective, the whole sequence of the car crash here, which takes about 10 seconds total, took up two pages in the book.
@Maeztro313 Man, I first saw this on TV a couple years ago in winter when we were just getting over the swine flu, and we heard them call it that here and I was kind of like 'AHHHH!'
@TheBookworm1718 the campion virus or whatever its called is highly contagious. The family that was infected with it went halfway across the country while having to stop in public areas for food and rest.
@PyroGamer321 Yeah but they were wondering HOW he got from California to Texas, even though he didn't have as close up contact with it as the scientists did. The guy is shocked that Campion made it so far and inquires if he was dead or alive when found...something tells me they were not counting on him being able to live so much longer than the other people at the base.
@TheBookWorm1718 well.. it IS just a flu after all. Each immune system is different. The plague also had victims who lived an unusually long time with it and took longer to die than the typical case. They just had better immune systems.
@hardnphirm87 Antibiotics don't work on any viruses.... They only work on bacterial infection. and before you say same thing. Bactria are single cell organisms...... viruses infect cells rewrite the DNA to produce more of the virus that gets released to infect more cells.. That's the short version... there is more to it then that... but you get the gist..... I hope
@hardnphirm87 Actually there are some of those. The most common one would be Quinine resistant strain of Malaria. Viruses are defiantly the more nasty of the two. Two good examples would be Bubonic plague and Ebola with Small pox running a close third..... Bird Flu is another .......
There never was a single demon called 'Legion' - that term refers to demons (plural). I wish that people would 'GET' that. When Jesus cast the demons out - he sent them into a 'herd' of pigs, not just one, ...that should be a clue to people with a brain - which I know is a tough call for religious folks. However, for those studying religious-mythology, it's obvious.
@MrTenshihanQuinn I know this; I'm just quoting Stephen King. In his fictional universe, there is a single demon called legion. SK is actually pretty confusing when it comes to Flagg. He says he's legion, but also the imp of crimson king, and a sorcerer who used to be mortal, along with a whole bunch of other identities. A lot of SK's work doesnt make sense because of inconsistencies like that.
@bumoffhtestreet I doubt they're accidental. I think Flagg is the nemesis in so many books because King believes evil takes a lot of different forms, and he becomes different things to different people. In the world of The Stand, a world without magic, he would be seen as a demon or devil. In the Keystone world of Roland, a being familiar with magic, Flagg would probably seem a lot less intimidating, especially since Roland has faced him so many times previously.
Just for reference, Randall Flagg was the imp of Satan, or a prophet of Satan, just as Mother Abigail was a prophet of God. Flagg was known as 'The Walking Dude' or 'The Hard Case' by his followers.
@EvilPundit Flagg was actually the demon Legion. The one Jesus cast into a herd of pigs in the bible. Can't remember what page exactly, but this is explicitly stated by King.
I have read.... Carrie, It, Misery, Under The Dome, Delores Clayborn, The Body, The Green Mile....Movies: Misery, it, Carrie, The Shining, Thinner, Cujo, Cats Eye, Green Mile, Langoliers, kingdom Hospital and a couple more I cannot remember.
@CARDUELIS999- Oh, yes. That nickname fits him well, too. I believe he is referred to by that in at least one film version of "The Stand". Not sure which one.
@hardnphirm87 You would have still caught the Superflu, in the book its 94% communicable so unless you were the lucky few survivors when the cops came to talk to you to get your statement you would have caught it.
@LelouchLAMPER0UGE I've read both the original and extended edition. The extended edition was quite a bit better because it described a lot of stuff in much more detail, such as Trashman's journey.
@fubukifangirl I never read a Stephen King book until I visited my Aunt out of state, and her boyfriend and me got to talking about books. He had the extended edition (and it was his favorite book, out of his whole library) and he let me bring it home with me. So I can't compare to the original... But, the extended in my opinion would defenatly be much more amazing, just because it is nauturally longer. ^^
Have you read any of his other books? If so, which were your favorites?
@LelouchLAMPER0UGE I've read Carrie, It, Salem's Lot, Nightmares and Dreamscapes, Pet Cemetary, Misery, Rose Madder, Insomnia,Thinner, The Shining, Gerald's Game, The Running Man and The Long Walk(these were written under the name Richard Bachman), Children of the Corn(this was not really a book), Cujo, and The Tommyknockers. I want to read The Mist, Cycleof the Werewolf, and The DarkTower Series next when I have the time.
@LelouchLAMPER0UGE My favorites from all the Stephan King Books are The Stand, Misery, and Rose Madder. Rose Madder will likely piss you off though. It sure did me.
@LelouchLAMPER0UGE My favorite of his books or the scariest ? I 'm frightened by dogs and rabies, so Cujo would def be among my scariest, along with Salem's Lot , that baby vampire was horrendous... My favorites would include MIsery, IT, The TOmmyknockers, The Stand, The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon, and Hearts in Atlantis.... also Duma Key
@Tempe1962 Because they have no way of knowing which route he took and just how many towns he went through. It's expensive and difficult enough shutting down one town, much less dozens.
ooooh scarry randal flaggs a ginger :P thanks for uploading these i remember my ma makin me watch with this with her when i was a kid itl probably be way better without her tellin me to cover my eyes every five seconds lol
This miniseries did some things right, but on the whole, it's just not very good filmmaking. If only a real director had taken over and the production had had more to it than just TV values.
I wonder if I'm the only chick who thinks Gary Sinise is so damn good looking. I even thought he was cute in Forrest Gump. I think I have a thing for Gary Sinise.
I can't blame Campion. He was just trying to protect his family, I might've done the same thing. But it's just not right, it's just not right that he had to shut down that base. I don't know why...
@DarkWolf77 SPOILER COMMENT I never read it in english (im from sweden).. but theres a small passage near the end of the book where stu thinks about his old friends and he mentions what they used to call him. roughly translated to english "They always called him Quiet(mute)Stu , old Stu they said wouldn't say 'Shit' even if his mouth was full of it".... so not slow.. maybe just quiet xD
@lms662002 i heard they are gonna remake the movie series but i prefer getting the marvel comics version of the stand since im too lazy to read the book and the comic is just interesting as the movie since the comics are about 60% of the book and 20% of the movie and 20% original stuff. but i want to get the stand on blu-ray, god willing if it will ever make it.
@lms662002 well, King waited years to even make a miniseries. Now it could be done right in a movie trilogy. People like trilogies and long movies again and the fan base is definitely there. The effects, too. This is one of those things where the casting has to be perfect. King wanted Lowe as Flagg not the guy who did play him. I need to go back and read the book. Lately I;ve been thinking about it and my favorite characters.
@lms662002 They just announced they are going to make a new movie adaptation of "The Stand" - they will probably break it into two movies because of its length.
@lms662002 My friend, your prayers have been answered. There is word in Hollywood that there is a theatrical version of The Stand being considered. Stephen King even wrote a little article about it.
@lms662002 That would be great! Although I really would want Gary Sinise to return to reprise his role as East Texas... No one could replace him! Or any of them for that matter...
@lms662002 Why remake it? I think this version is great just as it is ::D (And yes, I don't think in general that "remakes" are that great, even if they have more advanced technology today)
Wow ... it is now painfully obvious to me what Stephen King was referring to in the introduction of this novel ... there really is no way in the world they could have made a movie from a book that is so good. I've read the book and haven't watched the series yet, but looking at part1 and 2 of this upload, i'm pretty sure nothing will ever be better than the novel. Thanks for the upload, but I really wish the producer would have put in my hard work as Stephen King did. Again, THE GREATEST NOVEL!!
if u people r thumbing down cos u think O is great, u r soooo deceived. see the series Left Behind. i dont believe in the secret rapture, but everything Carpathia did, O is doing. like killing his grandmother.
boy, u people r so stupid. well, u'll find out when O kills u all, or puts u in concentration camps. google operation cable splicer & many others. i feel sorry 4 u. many people r fleeing the US bc they SEE IT
@mrsgoatlady77 aw he won't do that.. he'll just make it so that every time you get a raise, you're taking home a smaller percent of your overall profit. That's what they do here in canada. I recently got a small raise. I jumped a tax bracket. now i can't afford my rent anymore. My raise means i have to live in a cheaper house now.
no you're a dramaqueen. I know the type. Everything is exaggerated, everything is gigantic and epic. In reality, your lives will just suck a little more from now on.
@kithrakat These days they are making season long mini-series like Harper's Island. I could see this done with The Stand. Heck they would have content for years if they made a tv show out of his Gun Slinger series.
the book really dragged for a while during the middle but it was (as are a lot of king's books) great for a 'getting into it' book. it's almost winter...about time to check out "the shining" again. that and john carpenter's "the thing" are two of my favourite winter time movies.
@jen8933 The Stand did not drag on as bad as King's other books like "It"...To me the Stand is one of king's best. His ability to create such dynamic character personalities is amazing, Its one of the best Post Apocalyptic novels I have read.
but that said there have been very few of kings books or short stories that aren't great reading.
when i was in my 20s i was reading his story "the crate". i was reading in bed and when it was time to go to sleep i was afraid to get up to turn off the light:)
@jen8933 I recommend Nightmares and Dreamscapes. I found the short stories in it engaging and easy to read. Chattery Teeth, Popsy, The Moving Finger, Rainy Season, Suffer the Little Children, and You Know They Have a Hell of a Band were particularly good.
I must have read this book a a thousand times, the movie isn't exact with the book but portrays it really well. Thank you for posting this : ) Its been a while since I've seen it
if you watch it all the way through it turns out the dark man is the devil...its the apocolypse and the ones that are unaffected are gods chosen..you'l see if you watch the entire thing.
Ok I don't know about the movie because this is my first time seeing it, but in the book it clearly states that 1. Flagg is not the Devil. He is only a messenger of the Devil, not the Devil himself. 2. It's not the apocalypse, merely a wager between God and the Devil to see whose side will win the fate of humanity.And 3. Once again No. Not EVERY unaffected person is one of Gods chosen. Some of the survivors go to Flaggs side.
Just read the book and I have a feeling that im going to hate this movie

This miniseries did some things right, but on the whole, it's just not very good filmmaking. If only a real director had taken over and the production had had more to it than just TV values.

I wonder if I'm the only chick who thinks Gary Sinise is so damn good looking. I even thought he was cute in Forrest Gump. I think I have a thing for Gary Sinise.

I can't blame Campion. He was just trying to protect his family, I might've done the same thing. But it's just not right, it's just not right that he had to shut down that base. I don't know why...

@permy7 hmmm I thought I read someplace that Stephen King himself said that Stu was a little slow at times... oh well to each his own I guess...
DarkWolf77 1 year ago
@DarkWolf77 SPOILER COMMENT I never read it in english (im from sweden).. but theres a small passage near the end of the book where stu thinks about his old friends and he mentions what they used to call him. roughly translated to english "They always called him Quiet(mute)Stu , old Stu they said wouldn't say 'Shit' even if his mouth was full of it".... so not slow.. maybe just quiet xD

@DarkWolf77 Yea, no big deal. I guess it's in the eye of the beholder to call him slow. Great book never the less!

@lms662002 i heard they are gonna remake the movie series but i prefer getting the marvel comics version of the stand since im too lazy to read the book and the comic is just interesting as the movie since the comics are about 60% of the book and 20% of the movie and 20% original stuff. but i want to get the stand on blu-ray, god willing if it will ever make it.

as great as a remake would be, i fell in love with these characters and the way hollywood is i'm afraid it would just get ruined.
i don't have any problem with justin bieber but i can't see him as stu redmond. miley cyrus takes over for molly ringwald as fran?
yes, i understand they're too young for those parts. that's kinda my point.

@lms662002 Only remake it if they turn it into a trilogy. It's the only way to do justice to this immense story..
Fluidvirgo 1 year ago
@lms662002 well, King waited years to even make a miniseries. Now it could be done right in a movie trilogy. People like trilogies and long movies again and the fan base is definitely there. The effects, too. This is one of those things where the casting has to be perfect. King wanted Lowe as Flagg not the guy who did play him. I need to go back and read the book. Lately I;ve been thinking about it and my favorite characters.

Wow ... it is now painfully obvious to me what Stephen King was referring to in the introduction of this novel ... there really is no way in the world they could have made a movie from a book that is so good. I've read the book and haven't watched the series yet, but looking at part1 and 2 of this upload, i'm pretty sure nothing will ever be better than the novel. Thanks for the upload, but I really wish the producer would have put in my hard work as Stephen King did. Again, THE GREATEST NOVEL!!

@mrsgoatlady77 aw he won't do that.. he'll just make it so that every time you get a raise, you're taking home a smaller percent of your overall profit. That's what they do here in canada. I recently got a small raise. I jumped a tax bracket. now i can't afford my rent anymore. My raise means i have to live in a cheaper house now.

the book really dragged for a while during the middle but it was (as are a lot of king's books) great for a 'getting into it' book. it's almost winter...about time to check out "the shining" again. that and john carpenter's "the thing" are two of my favourite winter time movies.
jen8933 1 year ago
@jen8933 The Stand did not drag on as bad as King's other books like "It"...To me the Stand is one of king's best. His ability to create such dynamic character personalities is amazing, Its one of the best Post Apocalyptic novels I have read.

i tried to read "It" but couldn't get into it.
but that said there have been very few of kings books or short stories that aren't great reading.
when i was in my 20s i was reading his story "the crate". i was reading in bed and when it was time to go to sleep i was afraid to get up to turn off the light:)

@jen8933 I recommend Nightmares and Dreamscapes. I found the short stories in it engaging and easy to read. Chattery Teeth, Popsy, The Moving Finger, Rainy Season, Suffer the Little Children, and You Know They Have a Hell of a Band were particularly good.

if you watch it all the way through it turns out the dark man is the devil...its the apocolypse and the ones that are unaffected are gods chosen..you'l see if you watch the entire thing.
kickboxerforever00 2 years ago
Ok I don't know about the movie because this is my first time seeing it, but in the book it clearly states that 1. Flagg is not the Devil. He is only a messenger of the Devil, not the Devil himself. 2. It's not the apocalypse, merely a wager between God and the Devil to see whose side will win the fate of humanity.And 3. Once again No. Not EVERY unaffected person is one of Gods chosen. Some of the survivors go to Flaggs side.
