I watched the Director's Cut of Watchmen yesterday. Excellent film. I feel dirty for putting off watching it for so long. I'm now eighty pages into the book.
I'll give it a go:
01. Rear Window
02. North by Northwest
03. Vertigo
04. The Lodger
05. Psycho
06. Lifeboat
07. The 39 Steps
08. Shadow of a Doubt
09. The Birds
10. Saboteur
Apparently I'm one of the few people in existence who loves the film. It's grim, dark, visually stunning and flat-out bizarre at times. It's pretty inaccessible for a mainstream comic book film, but Zack Snyder gave no ****s and I commend him for it.
I cannot wait to see the Ultimate Cut when...
I'm a little late but I finished the book about ten minutes ago. It was an enjoyable read, obviously, but definitely my least favourite in the trilogy. I just didn't think the Zappit plot device was all that interesting. It was too silly even by King's standards. I'd have to agree with others...
Nice to see folks discussing the WHSmith-exclusive collector's editions with the purple-tinted covers. I think I own all of them so far:
Doctor Sleep
Mr. Mercedes
Revival
Finders Keepers
The Bazaar of Bad Dreams
End of Watch
In some cases, I have both the original AND the Collector's Edition...
I really liked Mr. Mercedes but I loved Finders Keepers. Of of his more recent output, I think it's one of his best along with Full Dark, No Stars and 11/22/63.
Rage is one of my favourites so naturally, I do think it should be back in print. If certain individuals were influenced, that says a great deal more about them than it does the book itself. King shouldn't feel in any way responsible and I think it's a real shame that he felt the need to...
I was halfway through reading Morality when I thought, 'Wait, this seems awfully familiar.' Turns out I'd previously read it when it was published as a bonus story with Blockade Billy.
Isn't the book technically in three parts anyway? I guess they could split them that way and then compile them in one fancy slipcase.
Anyway, I bought the Special Edition of Carrie when it came out by passed on the other two. They look beautiful but it's just too expensive purchasing every...
