If only Stu hadnt shut off those gas pumps...

@TheDanrox110- Well, I can see that. But that is not what the name is supposed to mean. Flagg is "The Dark Man" as in, "evil".

Just read the book and I have a feeling that im going to hate this movie

[Mkultradeth]

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?

[TheBookWorm1718]

@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.

[eyeslikedeceit]

@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....

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.

@TheBookWorm1718

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.

[TheBookWorm1718]

"We didn't get out in time after all" that is a very creepy line, every time I hear it I get chills.

[TheBookWorm1718]

@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]

@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.
