Thomas Hayes said:Did you hear he stole his buddy's wife?

Baha... nah. I actually read this interview with him on the anniversary of his death... can't recall which magazine it was, but honestly, I felt for the guy. I remember him saying something along the lines of, "I don't have friends, just thousands of acquaintances," before realizing all he really had was his wife and kid. Something like that.
As far as acting goes, he’s easily one of the greatest to ever do it.

Sending you some extra love ❤

Charles Bailey2 said:Hey there. It’s just Cook and his younger brother. 😁
I've always had such a soft spot for King's stories. There’s just something about the way he builds a world that keeps me coming back, time and time again.

It’s such a great movie, honestly. Kiefer looks so young here, and you’ve got the late River Phoenix in his prime, plus Wesley from Star Trek. It just hits different seeing them all together like that.

wiredfox said:Great movie. Kiefer looks young here, along with the late River Phoenix and Wesley from Star Trek.

Yep, everyone’s young. And honestly, it's a beautiful film.

feeling okay but a little under the weather 😁

Charles Bailey2 said:Jeep, just a bunch of kids. It really is a beautiful film.

The Shining, since we're talking about King
is top tier

I’ve never really been able to get into Woody Allen movies
to me, they just feel way too pretentious and honestly quite boring

They're just pretentious and boring as hell

Unbelievable

Terry Wilson5 said:Barack, no... honestly, I remember reading this interview he gave on the anniversary of his passing—can't recall which magazine it was—but it actually made me feel pretty bad for him. If I remember correctly, he said something along the lines of having thousands of acquaintances but zero actual friends... until he realized all he really had was his wife and kid. Something like that.
When it comes to acting, though, he was easily one of the greatest to ever do it.

His wife passed away from cancer, which probably explains why he seemed so depressed. Isaac, she was actually in Death Wish 2.

I honestly can't quite wrap my head around why that happened, or even what the motivation was behind it all. It just feels so incredibly random, doesn't it? I've been sitting here staring at the screen for a while now, trying to make sense of the whole situation, but everything just seems to fall apart the more I think about it. I guess I'm just overanalyzing things, which is a habit of mine, but there's still something about it that feels fundamentally off.

Dr. Sleep is more than just a decent sequel to him.

I love King's stories.

Susan nailed the adaptation. It was spot on. Meanwhile, poor Kofi didn't even make it in real life. Just tragic.

If you didn't find yourself tearing up by the end of Schindler's List, I honestly don't know if you have a soul

wiredfox said:Is that actually a suggestion, or what?🤣

That one scene from the movie... honestly, I wouldn't even complain if it happened like that in real life.😁

Charles Bailey2 said:+1
I actually thought Dr. Sleep was a pretty decent follow-up.

Yeah, I agree, it wasn't half bad.

But man, Shawshank is an absolute masterpiece.

Reminds me of John Wayne... the Western legend died from cancer. Apparently, they were filming some movie where there was radiation exposure... but John Wayne just said they kept filming because he lived for acting, and he paid the price just like most of the crew on that set.

Thomas Hayes said:It’s just a scene from a movie, honestly, I wouldn't really mind if they went there.😁

Personally, threesomes aren't really my thing, though I suppose I could sit through it if it came up. 😁

wiredfox said:If you didn't tear up during the end of Schindler's List, you don't have a soul.

For me, the most gut-wrenching part was the scene with the essential worker.

Charles Bailey2 said:For me, that scene with the essential worker was easily the most heartbreaking part.

You really have a soul. ❤️
