This deviates from the original story in a few minor facts. But it's still done very cleverly. This is one of my favourite King short stories. It's fucking terrifying.
Pretty good adaptation of the Stephen King movie. I always thought of Mr. Donatti as a taller skinnier man though. This actor still did a pretty good job of portraying him though.
Hella thanks for posting the movie! One of my all-time favs. Love the way Mr. Donati calmly moves the smokes together , then smashes them and uses his fists like a drum solo. Fantastic. Reminded me of Rumble for a sec.
Wow. I love that James Woods is watching "The Dead Zone" on tv which is directed by David Cronenberg and written by Stephen King, and James Woods was also in "Videodrome" which is also by David Cronenberg.
It wouldn't really matter if he was the stongest person around, either. Donatti has a great common sense, and that's all it takes. This is obviously not the first time he does something like this. He also has a gun, not to mention the help from many other men behind him if someone tried to get cute. If you tried to punch him, you'd be down in a second, especially because you appear to be stronger than he is (physically). Besides, he would be calmer than you, and that's also a big advantage.
The joke in that story is that he hasn't changed a bit but still has the weak personality that made him obey his addiction: Now he still is a slave to nicotine but additional an even more obeying slave to a guy who forbids him to consume nicotine.
I don't know you. I was only speaking generally. I could've said "calmer than anyone," but whatever. I don't identify at all with the main character, either, but many smokers would. In a way, that's what makes them smokers, that they're slaves, submissive. They need a cig to calm down. They're almost always nervous. Better for Donatti, and he knows this. Forget about physical strength, this guy messes with people's minds, and who says there's not something supernatural about Quitter's, Inc.?
If third offense means rape for the wife, that's probably what happened to the wife of the man Morrison encountered earlier in the wait room who likely committed just that, just teethering on the brink of fourth and final offense.
@hate4uall No they don't. Please get your facts straight before you accuse someone of something they do not do. I was born and raised a Scientologist, and that is no where NEAR what we believe.
Why didn't he just call the police? And if the police were involved, why didn't he call the FBI?

But the real reason why the old guy can humiliate the main person is his weak personality, not his weak body.

666theboogieman666 2 years ago
Calmer than me..? Interesting that you seem to know me better than I do...
I would have k.o.ed him even colder than he tortured the poor cat.
So you seem able to identify well with the main person and his fatalistic submission to the external forces that rule his life..?
