The Stand (1994) Part 8/15

[vanessahudgo]

MOON that spells love it!!

[OrchestrationOnline]

Realistically portraying the mentally handicapped is one of the hardest things to do as an actor, much less a writer. I felt the character of Tom Cullen didn't quite convince in the book, and missed the mark here even more.

I wonder how many directors and writers have ever had extended personal contact with an autistic or retarded person, much less personally cared for one.

WOOT DENVER COLORADO REPRESENT!!!

[munk237]

Its weird. Title card says 50 miles west of Pratt. They ran west out of town away from Shawnee Smith but when they are standing on the side of the road the sign behind them says WEST, meaning they were traveling EAST and Ralph was going West. Seems ole Nick and Tom got turned around somehow

[JamesBeam420]

They should really make The Stand into a 3 part epic film, three different 3 hour films, kind of like Lord of The Rings. That way they could leave in all the violence, sexuality, etc. and also keep in most of the storyline and character development from the book. This TV series is okay, M-O-O-N, that spells okay, but doesn't really do the book justice. Do it right; big budget, great actors, great director. Most of the screenplay is already in the book, maybe King could adapt it himself.

[Krisnadhuaja]

what does pokerized means?

[JamesBeam420]

@Krisnadhuaja In the book, Lloyd Henreid's character was introduced where he was in the midst of a murderous crime spree with a character named Poke. They robbed liquor stores, killed men, women, children, stole cars. Poke did all the killing, and whenever he did, he'd plug a hole in someone and say they'd been "Pokerized."

[trigmachine]

'moon' that spells makes me laugh

[Versus1984]

14.59 "King"...As in "Crimson King" or "Stephen King". :) Ah Stephen, you 'ol joker...

[highball1963]

the kid and his car were pokerized along with the wolves.!!

[666nova420]

most of you guys....and gals, are fuckin retarded.

[koppsr]

@666nova420

maybe right...but the best thing is: we can live with that!^^

[dtaurin]

M.O.O.N spells dumbass

[shurick28]

I'm a white woman and can't get why everyone being saved is white. Not to mention they're being saved lead by an old black woman. hmmm! i wonder... totally f-up!!!

[MrBassmaster72]

@shurick28 The judge is saved and he's black. The Ratman is saved and he's black.

[DesiLeaks]

The best part is "nick adnros how u doin". LMAO

[artemhd]

at 18:25 There is no more traffic in the world but the habit makes the parade go on the right side of the road ))

[13dutchdennis13]

INn the book says that Nadine is a very good looking woman,but in the movies i think she isn,t that goodlooking at all and lucy swann looks better

[slayerkiller47]

What a surprise, every post-apocalyptic scenario out there has Vegas somehow survive. Least the good times keep rolling. Also, I love the book and I'm really liking this movie. Thank You.

[Devilsnightclown]

larry underwood is playing megadeth unplugged haha :-)

[GeogeOHarrison]

@Devilsnightclown It was a Barry McGuire song first ASSclown

[sarahhasley]

hmm -_- they messed the book up -_- thats supposed to be nadine but at least they didn't cut joe out

[13dutchdennis13]

@sarahhasley yeah u right:She came with joe or later(leo)

[Zoidberg312]

Kind of sucks they cut out the Trashcan Man's voyage west. The part with "The Kid" and the timberwolves is great.

[GeogeOHarrison]

@Zoidberg312 Yeah it's too bad, I was really looking forward to seeing Trashy get raped up the ass with a pistol!

[hamo1701]

@Zoidberg312 that IS too bad, but it probably would have broken the budget to make the kid's car :( oh well.........

[tinylittlegnat2]

Ah Joe. In the book he is with Nadine not Lucy, is chinese, and wears only underwear for the first half of the book.

[HayLotion]

The professor is my fave character.

[8CaptainHowdy]

@HayLotion

You talkin' about the sociologist, Glen Bateman.

[HayLotion]

@8CaptainHowdy Yes, yes indeed. Is there a problem?

[8CaptainHowdy]

@HayLotion

Oh, no, not at all. :) Just clarifying to see if we were referring to the same person.

[CamiR092991]

Nick's my favourite character :) 

[vetrix]

what song is that at 3:00

[bubbamertz]

@vetrix EVE of DESTRUCTION

[vetrix]

@bubbamertz thanks

[mvies77]

It don't matter, God believes in you. Wow. Great, Stephen King! Atheists are so angry. How funny.

[hamo1701]

@mvies77 indeed, im not religous myself , but i still love that line, and the warm feeling it makes in my chest.

[mvies77]

@hamo1701 Me too! To me it is because it is true and that everyone wants to be believed in, even when we choose not to believe in them. It is also a statement that is hard to refute. Those who choose not to believe can do so, but because they choose not to believe, it does not make it so. God still loves and believes in them. Believe what they want it does not matter, He Is. Thanks for sharing. I wish you well. God bless.

[shoot2merk]

Beverly Hillbillies @ 14:10 Lol

[petie71]

"It don't matter, God believes in you." BLECH! Fuck off, Stephen King.

[rtozier2011]

@petie71 I don't know if his books are a reflection of his ideology, but King seems to have become more and more personally atheistic as his life has continued.

[jparker59able]

We never made a single wrong turn? Nick here knew just how to come? If Nick and Tom for headed for Nebraska, as was Ralph, then why were they headed in opposite directions when they met on the highway? What'd I miss?

[johneamer]

@jparker59able They were running from the woman with the gun I think.

[adamkincaid1234]

@jparker59able you're dead right, it's stupid. As a storytelling aid they could have done it better. Just looks lame as it is. m - o - o - n that sells rather misplaced cinematic device :)

[raveklaw]

I wish I had a friend like Tom Cullen. M-O-O-N thats spells best friend forever.

[Saucymaggots69713]

Larry first meet Rita Blakemoor, and she OD'd on pills. Then after that he met "Joe" and Nadine together.. not Lucy and "Joe".. right?? Did i mess up or did the movie mess it up?

[heygirlheeeeyey]

@Saucymaggots69713 the movie changed it

[13dutchdennis13]

@Saucymaggots69713 :you right..Rita died in the tent where they were sleeping in.she died in the morning after a overdosis.And then they meet nadine and joe after they followed him after a couple of days.so far i can remember..but i didn,t see any rita in these movie



[artemhd]

@Saucymaggots69713 It's just an adaptation. It would not be 100% correct. Overall, it's still ok

[ninachkah]

It is so funny that Nick said he didn't believe in God.

[violet46]

end of minute 11...drool!

[Data1912]

Anyone else notice the mannequin standing in the middle of the highway behind Larry as he's singin on the car hood?

[chewbacca4me]

I have to say that I have always hated Rob Lowe's reaction at 11:19. >:-)

[obscureluzername]

@chewbacca4me How would you prefer he react to nonsense?

[chewbacca4me]

@obscureluzername Good point. :-)

[HorrorBuff99]

@chewbacca4me Whoe does Rob Lowe play?

[chewbacca4me]

@HorrorBuff99 He plays Nick Andros, the deaf mute guy. :-)

[austinandroid]

What about the flag man

[stylesIkon]

Mother Abigails' reaction to Nick's Atheism is brilliant!

[RedJoe10]

Its sounds like Tom's saying 'largesse' doesn't it?

[iNutmegZombie]

@typo368

Dude, my exact thought. :D

[thepussum]

Nick never looks at people when they are speaking, and that bugs me. He cannot hear, so if he's not looking at you, he's ignoring what you are saying.

[anisete46]

why aren't they going in the same direction?

[typo368]

trash can man would!!

[maugustyniak]

7:23 it's probably not just me, but doesn't that old black chick generally resemble Yoda, not just in the looks department?

[denverdog44]

@maugustyniak I logged in just to make that comment.....but I see you beat me to it.

[maugustyniak]

@denverdog44 Oh lulz! Hehehe. "Evil, the mullet is. Business at the front, party at the back, it represents! Bad cosmetic choices, manipulate into doing, Satan will!"

[GimletWeapon]

@maugustyniak Lord, take this evil out from my sight.

[keez1689]

some reason some parts of the move remind me of mice and men {tom and nick}

[hektorpike]

@keez1689 "some reason" ... errr, emmm, ahhhhh. maybe thats cos there is a big stoopid lump and a smarter dude???

I'll be damned!

[ElizabethWebster]

Larry's a butthole.

[twobitluver44]

Larry is Awesome! He is just doesnt like being sneaked up on.....he is a nice man, you should read the book

[ElizabethWebster]

@twobitluver44 I have.

[twobitluver44]

@ElizabethWebster Ok, So how do you like it?

[rocksoliddude1]

the deaf guy and the guy with learning difficulties are like mice of men gone wrong
